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 note from a character on that list.
1. Lt. Juan Rico (Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein)
2. Beowulf Shaeffer (Known Space (series) by Larry Niven)
3. Lucifer (Paradise Lost by John Milton)
4. Jerome Corbell (A World Out of Time by Larry Niven)
5. The Mariner (Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
6. Scott Crane (Last Call by Tim Powers)
7. Dante (The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri) Yes, he's real, but his viewpoint in the books is a fictional version.
8. Nevil Clavain (Revelation Space (series) by Alastair Reynolds)
9. Roy Hobbs (The Natural by Bernard Malamud)
10. The Master (Doctor Who)

Hahahahaaa... my apologies
Date: 3 Mar 2008 01:34 (UTC)I'm sure you must have thought me rather strange.
Your carriage was not the first that I had hailed,
I suppose the others thought me quite deranged.
They passed me on the shoulder of the road.
But you pulled over--quite the pleasant change.
Your willingness to add me to your considerable load,
Was greatly appreciated. Please accept this gift:
A first edition print of my tale, to you already told.
Farewell, and thanks again for the lift.
Dante
