Letters to the Characters--Star Dome and Star Foam

[cygna_hime]

Dear Nen Sol,

I love you. I do. You've become one of my favorite characters (how did that happen?), insidious sweetie that you are. You weren't even there in the preliminary outline. Now I can't leave you out.

So what on earth possessed you to declare your love for Lin Rel? What? I thought you were friends! I wanted you to be friends! This is turning into an Everyone Is Gay story! I didn't want it to! What the heck is your problem? You let me get this far thinking you were going to have some other motive for your self-sacrifice bit, and then you spring the 'Die for the one I love' plot on me. I didn't ask for this. You're going to add still more angsty woe to a very woeful scene. I hope you know that.

...It was all my fault for writing you like Mercutio, wasn't it? *sigh* Guess you know your own feelings best.

Slightly annoyed,
Cygna

Dear Lin Sel,

When did this story stop being about you? Why are you not giving me something interesting? Why is there no longer anyone to be/become your boyfriend? I thought you wanted a boyfriend! You don't want a girlfriend, do you? No more EIGness, please.

Oh, okay then.

Bored,
Cygna

Dear Pol Gin,

Why are you so much like your son? What is your plot, anyway? How the heck am I supposed to get Sei Fan out in defiance of you?

Aggravated,
Cygna

Dear Mai Nal,

Are you sure you're a noncombatant? Not even a little help? Pleasepleaseplease?

Desperate,
Cygna

Dear Mar Ter,

If you'd like to come up with a character sometime soon, please do let me know. Are you really just Tir's accessory and Designated Mourner? Guess so.

Uninspired,
Cygna

I love them to bits and I hate them to pieces. Such is the writer's lot in life. If at some point I run around screaming, tearing my hair, and complaining that they won't do what I say, you'll know why. On the upside, now have both a nice shiny motive for Nen Sol and a scheme to title the chapters (1 character's name for each, to be titled when I know what's going on in them).
