Okay, I got the idea for this challenge from a challenge on deviantART as well as PMS's "Letters to your Characters" thread and Lisiana's approach to the 365 Day Challenge. For those of you who haven't been following her, she has decided to write the 365 Day Challenge in LETTERS, rather than poems or stories, and I was very impressed with her vision when I read her first letter. The letters in this challenge can be real or fictional, and can be from your viewpoint or someone else's, but the important thing is that you show you understand both where the speaker is coming from AND who they are speaking to. I am offering a reward for this challenge to people who show good originality, technique, etc. in this challenge, and that reward is 5k. Without further adieu, here is the challenge.
You write one letter a day, and preferably will post it in a SEPARATE member journal, to which you will post a link here. You do NOT need to write a letter every day, but you must spend at least 30 days on the challenge. Other than that, there really are no rules regulating length or content, just that you follow the list AND the Gaia ToS.
Here is the list:
Day 1 - Parents
Day 2 - A Crush
Day 3 - A Best Friend
Day 4 - Sibling (or closest relative)
Day 5 - Your dreams
Day 6 - A stranger
Day 7 - Someone who either you loved and got over or who loved you and left you behind
Day 8 - Someone you want to tell something to, but, for whatever reason, cannot.
Day 9 - Someone you wish you could meet
Day 10 - Someone you don't talk to as much as you'd like to
Day 11 - A Deceased person you wish you could talk to
Day 12 - The person you hate most/caused you a lot of pain
Day 13 - Someone you wish could forgive you
Day 14 - Someone you've drifted away from
Day 15 - The person you miss the most
Day 16 - Someone from another planet
Day 17 - Someone from your childhood
Day 18 - The person that you wish you could be
Day 19 - The person you most admire or fear
Day 20 - The one that broke your heart the hardest
Day 21 - Someone you judged by their first impression
Day 22 - Someone you want to give a second chance to
Day 23 - The last person you kissed
Day 24 - The person that gave you your favorite memory
Day 25 - The person you know that is going through the worst of times
Day 26 - Someone you forgave
Day 27 - The friendliest person you knew for only one day
Day 28 - Someone that changed your life
Day 29 - The person that you want tell everything to, but too afraid to
Day 30 - Your reflection in the mirror
Good luck everyone!

I have a question, please quote me so I get a notification.
What if I know people personally in real life that also are on Gaia and are also thinking about joining this guild? Basically, what if one of the letters are meant to be directed to one or more of these people and I don't feel comfortable about them reading those letters? How do you handle a situation like that?

Jason Zaire I have a question, please quote me so I get a notification.
What if I know people personally in real life that also are on Gaia and are also thinking about joining this guild? Basically, what if one of the letters are meant to be directed to one or more of these people and I don't feel comfortable about them reading those letters? How do you handle a situation like that? If you are planning to do that, my suggestions would be to change all names and dates in ALL of the letters. Possibly post all of your letters under spoiler tags, if it worries you. But generally, don't do anything to single out the letter you don't want that person reading--change all names, post all under spoilers, etc. If you single it out odds are much greater they will see it. If it's really uncomfortable for you, you can also skip posting that letter--just write it for the sake of writing it, PM it to someone else if you want feedback on the writing, and note on your thread, "This letter I decided not to post, because it was very personal for me." If there's another serious issue or this doesn't answer your question, please PM me and we can discuss it further.
