Fictitious letter mailing list

[Kathelyne]

This sounds cool. You can put me down and I'll think something up - I'm thinking of using the Firefly universe, since I can totally see someone on one of the outer worlds using a fountain pen and sending correspondence via the rare passing ship.

:roflmho: I was thinking of a FIrefly universe character too.

 

Fun times! You two should collaborate! hehe.

 

 

This dress is for my reenactment group and shall be a stunning blue and gold 1480 gown.... and I never want to see that hem again! This must be my punishment for drafting the sleeves first go (unheard of for me), so far I have had 5 attempts at this hem! This is the first time I have done a hem that wasn't even all the way around, I am a pro at those now. But getting this thing to look like anything other than a little tube of fabric dragging along behind me.... I think I know what I need to do, but will leave it till another day, I have till July to get it done.

 

 

Sounds nice - will you share photos of the finished piece?

 

Sure will, when its done. won't have a chance to work on it till next weekend (light is so bad in this house laying out and pinning and so on can only be done in the daytime) as this is my one day weekend when I am too busy catching up on housework and washing to do anything. Next weekend is my three day weekend so hopefully I'll make some more progress.... But I am always willing to show off to a new audience

 

And I finished your letter last night so I will send it off tomorrow!

 

 

sooo.... has anybody else started writing leters?

[Yuki Onitsura]

I got your letter late last week and was quite excited by the wax seal =). Haven't had a chance to sit down and pen a reply just yet because it's Chinese New Year and my house has been a hundred kinds of crazy but you can expect a reply from Rodney later this week or early next.

Yay I'm glad it got there, did the wax seal arrive intact? A hundred kinds of crazy sounds fun so enjoy it and don't rush a reply on my behalf!

[ladyambrosia]

I plan to start sending some letters off this coming week. I got behind on things and had 11 other letters to write and than feel behind on my reading. :embarrassed_smile:

ohhhh, 11 letters to write! Fun

[ZeissIkon]

sooo.... has anybody else started writing leters?

 

I've got one ready to mail, unfortunately I'm out of stamps (haven't used a full strip in the past year, so forgot I'd used the last one). Fortunately, I have to drop by the store today anyway to return a DVD and get eggs, so I should be able to get a strip of stamps and mail the letter tomorrow.

[Kathelyne]

letter to ladyambrosia sent off and once again my letters to reply to and letters to be sent trays are empty.

[ZeissIkon]

And, though USPS took the day off today (President's Day holiday), my letter (to physicsgirl) is on the way.

[physicsgirl]

I have been really busy with school the last couple of weeks. I have one more exam Wed, but this weekend I plan on writing some letters.

[CarolinaWriter]

Yay - I have sent off one to Kathelyne, and am ready to write more! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.

An updated persona list

 

 

 

PERSONA LIST

 

Kathelyne: Seannya los di’Nona

World: Going with sci-fi here. Seannya belongs to a people who are technologically advanced, they have space travel, everything is electronic (ie until now paper was an antique that no one used, even artwork is on electric screens) but people still have a strong connection to nature through their link to their home world. Seannya’s culture also has some lovely old fashioned traditions such as days in, calling cards etc that I really love. A bit of a blend of futuristic sci-fi and old fashioned Mr Darcy charm or something I guess, and all out of my own head with a dash of borrowed stuff here and there.

 

The address is:

sector 4

Area 9

Planet 4

Portal 7

Nona

Los

Seannya

 

OR

4.9.4.7 Nona Los Seannya (you can write this on one line or individual lines)

 

 

ladyambrosia: Mrs. Rose Jefferson

World ect: A slightly alternative history to the real thing. My year is 1784 and after, Mr. Jeffersons first wife would have passed, proper mourning and than a meeting of the new Lady (cant give it all away here *wink*)The world is a new place in theory as it was back than, a country has shaken free of its "Mother" and there is a treaty being drawn up. While there is an air of unrest in the very city (Paris) the treaty is being done up in..

 

Yuki Onitsura : Rodney McKay

Stargate Universe

 

carlc: not decided

Wants to join in someone elses universe.

 

CarolinaWriter: name to come

Universe undecided.

 

ZeissIkon: Denny Trout, alias "Ghost"

a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative-in-training in a world very much like the Marvel Universe of the early 21st century. Young fellow who was recruited from high school because he can do things "normals" can't, and the things he can do are at least potentially useful (once they drum some discipline into him) in the agency's work of protecting the Homeland. At the time the portal-mail service is opened, he's in the late stages of training and goes on occasional missions (evaluated as "low risk").

 

orangos Icon: Simeon Turhey

The nominal head of security on a small orbital station at the very edge of human space. He uses his position to collect knowledge, news and rumours from places he will never see for himself. In this way he has become an amateur scholar and is, at heart, a collector. He fancies himself a member of the 'republic of letters' and would love to correspond with anyone of a similar leaning, no matter what their species.

 

physicsgirl: Miss Isabella Almira Lenora Tarabotti.

An alternate Victorian England where the creatures of the night are known, and accepted.

7.8.3.4 Miss Isabella Almira Lenora Tarabotti.

 

CarolinaWriter: Grace Tyler Austin

llow me to introduce Grace Tyler Austin. She is a highly successful science fiction novelist who lives on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She loves the isolation of her coastal home as she is extremely shy and reclusive. Hand-written letters are her way of communicating with the outside world. Grace loves to write letters, and is very good at it...so much so that she was selected as one of the first to be able to utilize the portal mailbox system on Earth. She was a part of the effort that eventually changed Earth's system from one reserved only for the privileged few to one that offered free access to all, with strictly enforced privacy laws. Also, due to her influence (and offer to pay for it), a local portal was installed near her island home. This portal connects to Earth's main portal system.

 

She is currently working on her next novel, and between long writing sessions, she writes letters. Grace answers all letters received. She even responds to her fans so long as they handwrite their letters on paper and send them through the mail - either traditional ground mail or portal mail.

 

Letterwriting is not her only "old fashioned" trait. Along with always writing her first drafts by hand, Grace drinks Earl Grey tea, cooks her meals from scratch, never makes phone calls before 10:00 AM or after 5:00 PM, always sends thank you notes, and pays her bills with a check and mails them. Her lifestyle is very far from the high-tech science fiction worlds she creates in her novels. They are thoroughly researched and highly detailed. Her many fans line up for days to get her books. Rather than the current trend of releasing the electronic version of books forst , then printing in paper, her contract stipulates that her books are published on paper, then later made available in electronic version.

 

Grace welcomes all correspondents. Her address is Grace Tyler Austin, Hatteras Island Portal...and the rest of Earth's Portal Address for the US.

Finally have some free time (vacation!!)

Character: Phineas Wulfric, a balloonist.

For the planet, I'm thinking a world, much like our own today, except dominated by an evil dictator, but only a handful of people know the dictator is in power (a quite coup) Phineas is one of the people trying to spearhead the resistance. The world is more of a fantasy-type world.

Phineas helps to transport items, as well as take information to and from the different hiding places of the resistance. He is often chased by the government, and needs to keep moving around in order to not be caught.

 

Hope this is enough to get started?

Got my first letter today yay! From Miss Seannya reply to come sometime this week

[jschwab]

I am thinking I would like to join this as well....

 

I have a persona, I have a location and I definitely have the desire to make a go of this.

 

Persona: Constantine Black. A man suffering from amnesia in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The universe is definitely Science Fictional with a bit of time travel thrown in. HIs only clues are a list of names who might be able to provide him with information and a contact location in Portland, Oregon.

 

More to come upon acceptance to the group.

Foo, I keep forgetting to make up my persona! I'll work on it...
