Missives to Fictional Characters

Yes, we are writing 50,000-word novels in a month. No, we don't know why either. However, we do know that it is All The Characters' Fault, and that writing letters to them will make everything better. Thus!

Dear Main Character,

Congratulations! You are not female, and not me! This is good. However, may I please reiterate a couple of minor points:
- You are not allowed to like books. Just, no.
- Yes, you have sisters. I *like* sisters. And these ones are nice. Some of the time. Promise!
- Develop yourself, please. A name would be a good start, but I appreciate that settling on a gender may have taken all of your energy.

Dear Female Secondary Character,
Name, please. Also: age, position, father's job. Situation involving you spending lots of time with MC. The fact that you have an unpredictable personality doesn't mean you're allowed to be unpredictable to *me*.

Dear Sisters,
I have limited your number. I may even throw in a brother somewhere. And why do you all seem to want guns?!

Love to all (make the most of it, it won't last),
Ev
