Gacked from bookshop, and this is really a great one:

Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!

1. Lord Miles Naismith Vorkosigan (Lois McMaster Bujold)
2. Lady Ekaterin Vorkosigan (Lois McMaster Bujold)

Well I wouldn't want a letter from her, it would be bound to be trouble!

Dearest Peg,

How lovely to hear from you. I fear I am a Neglectful Correspondent and should have replied any time this last six months. So sorry to hear about your Work Woes. I'm most impressed to hear about your achievements at Karate -- and the girls too, how lovely for them. It's an accomplishment I dearly wish I'd had the chance to pursue.

I've been making rather a cake of myself at court recently, but better not to go into that. It will all End, in any case, for Charles has urgent and diplomatic reason to spend the next year in the Dutch East Indies, to his Great Advancement, and I'm wildly excited about this chance to travel to Entirely New Territory.

Well my dear, I wanted to ask, could you possibly take my Carlotta for a few months while Charles and I are in Batavia? The climate there is so Unhealthy for girls. Carlotta is sixteen already, such a great grown creature, and she's very much looking forward to seeing the Ice and Snow -- and to all of you as well. I do hope she'll be a help to you and not a Burden. She'll bring money for her Upkeep, and that of her Stables, naturally.

I have no doubt she'll have you and your family organized in no time -- she's very good at organizing and sorting people out. Charles unkindly says she reminds him of me at the same age! Have no Fears about her travelling out to you on her own, she has been quite accustomed to finding her way about since she was just a little thing. She'll probably look around her as soon as she arrives and settle you and Rob in new Careers, as well as finding partners for all your unattached friends and family.

She sails tomorrow and will arrive on about the first of next month. I'm afraid I'm rather taking your consent for granted -- you're so Good Natured, and you have always let me impose on you.

Yours, as always,
Sophy
(Lady Ombersley)
