DPP: Written Word

I loved this challenge from [livejournal.com profile] twelvecolonies and thought I would bring it over here for today.

Write a letter from a BSG character to another BSG character Kara to Lee or Lee to Kara (or Kara or Lee to someone else if you so desire), as if you are the character. It can be about whatever you think they would write about. You can type it out in the comments or create a graphic with it.

Rules:

1.       It must be Battlestar Galactica related.

2.       It must be FROM a canon character to another canon character. You may not make people up for this challenge.

3.       Only one entry per member.

4.       It must be posted to this entry as a comment.

5.       Team name must be included.

6.       Letter must be 100 words or less.

7.       If you make it into a graphic, it should be no larger than 400x400 pixels

Okay so most of these rules really applied to the challenge community, but I thought it would be good. In case you need some help thinking up ideas I yoinked a few non-K/L examples from the comm.

Example 1:
Dualla,

Ballots in aft compartment 1701-D - between hangar deck and polling station; should be easy to execute switch. Will call you if needed.

Remember, this is on us. Our idea. Anyone finds out, Roslin never knew - anyone thinks she did, say hello to Baltar, President for frakking life.

Burn this.

Tigh.

Example 2:
Dear Head!Six,

I would prefer not to appear to be speaking to myself right now, so this is the only other way I could think of to gain your attention. Please leave me alone today. I can’t be seen speaking to myself in front of the Quorum. It’s not particularly good for my image. Starbuck is still giving me strange looks after that incident in the lab.

Also, I have no idea what’s going on as I’m writing this to you instead of paying attention. So I’m useless anyway.

Sincerely,
Gaius Ba-oh there you are.

Example 3:
Dear Felix,

I'm sorry you lost your leg. I'm sorry you tried to commit mutiny on the Demetrius against me. I'm sorry Dee died and made you crazy, so you locked up my friends, my husband and a little girl. I'm sorry you were mad at the Admiral about our Cylon alliance and you wanted to kill everyone who thought staying alive was a better plan. I'm sorry one of your supporters shot Sam and took him from me.

Most of all, I'm sorry I didn't flush you out the airlock when I had the chance.

Good riddance,
Kara

Lee,

I apologize for my atrocious behavior at the card game the other night. I've done some thinking and I really should have seen it coming, what with cutting in on the two of you at the dance and all. Anyway, in case Lt. Thrace doesn't return from Caprica with the Arrow of Apollo, I thought you should know that she may have ended up in my bed on Colonial Day, but it was your name on her lips.

You over-achieving, pompous son-of-a-bitch.

Sincerely,
Gaius Frakking Baltar, Vice President of the Twelve Colonies

Lee,

Don't be mad. The president asked me to, and I decided to just do it before I changed my mind. I really wish I didn't have to leave before we patched things up, but... I really am sorry.

K

PS: If Baltar says anything about me, try to remember the man talks to the bulkheads. He's out of his frakking mind.

YES! A KLG letter! Awesome. Gaius always makes me smile, and how very like Kara to hedge her bets as she does there at the end. :)
