Letters to the Editor

This is a thread to submit/discuss letter to the editor. Rant, compliment, ramble away... the Editor always has the final say Cool

Here's an example below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Editor,

Chant-mongers have been rattling their bone-boxes all week with some screed that Lady's Sharper Eye is merging with your top-notch paper S.I.G.I.S. It's been awhile since I received my regular subscription and I know that delivering it here in Carceri can be tricky at times, so I'll forgive this slight over-sight just this once. The 'leths have been thick as warts on a night hag's nose, but to be honest with you I'd not even expect to find that rag referred to as Lady's Sharper Eye in a titan's latrine.

Has S.I.G.I.S. really fallen so low that it has to consort with those yellow touts who could not tell the dark of it if the chant came up and smacked up the side of their brain-boxes? This is a sorry day indeed, mark my words. S.I.G.I.S. was not afraid to expose the dirty little secrets of the factions, guilds or whom ever else thinks that they are in charge.

Well, don't get too comfy with those cross-trading chant-brokers. Soon as I can get some of our agents together we'll break out of this place and give you an exclusive on the real dark of what's going on. None of this humorous vegetables, missing pets or humanoid interest nonsense. The real chant on how the Factions are planning to take the Cage by storm, what the Rilmani are doing about the trouble in Arcadia and much, much more. The staff at the Eye will be first up against the wall when our day comes, so remember who your real friends are.

Now if only I could get passionate berks like that to write for me instead of venting their minds at editors...

I'll get around to writing a regular set of articles for the new incarnation of the paper. I just need to think of an ongoing plot arc.

Dear Editor,

Please can you tell me the name of a good tavern in Tradegate? Your chant-brokers must get around quite a bit and since I will be passing through Tradegate in the coming weeks, it seemed only natural to turn to you as a source of reliable information. In fact reviews of taverns, helpful hints on local customs and other planewalking information would go down a treat. My travels are usually fairly eventful so if you like I can send you the odd article. Mostly on things not to say or do though.

Dear Editor,

Collecting news is a waste of time, much less publishing it. Really it's all just a pointless exercise and a waste of quality parchment. We are all just pain accumulators accelerating though this meaningless life towards oblivion. So I ask you, is it really worth it?

Dear Editor,

You berks get around much don't you? Got any chant on portals out of Carceri? Listen, let's just keep this between you and me 'cause if the Red Death see this letter there'll be hell to pay and I'm no above sharing that pain. So, let's just keep this little letter between you and me. DO NOT PUBLISH THIS LETTER.

What I have for the LSE (from what I can tell of the articles I have in my hands so far) is that it'll be a little bit of fiction, and a lot of newspaper style articles.

Not to mean fiction isn't acceptable. I happen to have part four of a very interesting fiction piece by some cutter named Barking Wilder that'll be going in under the Lifestyle and Liesure section. Eye-wink

I've got stuff for three batches worth of the LSE (though I'm hoping to mix old articles with new to make it last longer) so it's probably managed to make it's way over to me. I'll keep an eye out for it.
