I loved this challenge from
twelvecolonies and thought I would bring it over here for today.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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

Post finale, Kara collects messages for Lee
Date: 2010-05-27 12:29 am (UTC)Good morning, my love.
I have some messages for you -
Zak says you're still his hero. He also says you're getting uglier every day and you should totally lose the beard. I've gotta back him up on that.
Billy and Dee send their best. Billy says he may have to punch you on principle, but all's well that ends well. Dee says to hug the Old Man for her, and to take care of yourself.
Sam says hey. He's sorry you two lost touch over that last year, but he says thanks for being there when he needed you, and for teaching him that trick with the Tauron double-loop. (Never tell me).
Your mom says she's sorry, and that she loves you more than you'll ever know.
Gianne says to tell you it's a boy, and they're both okay. They send their blessings.
Laura says you were born to be smarter and righter. She's so proud of you.
And me...what can I say?
You know I'm yours.
~ Kara
