The Lost Art of Writing Letters

[Sentama Lin]

So... with this world of electronic messaging, instant messaging, forums, cell phones, text messaging, and video chat, who still writes letters using ink, stationary, and envelopes? Although many - including myself, at times - consider letter writing to be obsolete thanks to the technology of today, I can't help but feel the specialness of a script/cursive/written words on stationary. Sure, it's a bit expensive, but one took the time to write the letter themselves; it should be special in my opinion.

So, who still writes personal letters to people? I'm planning to get some nice stationary and envelopes sometime this November (or possibly December) and write to many people that I know in real life and possibly here in the guild too!

Discuss:

• The lost art of the personal hand-written letter.
  
• What stationary should I get?
  
• Does anyone want a letter from me?

I want... a letter.  

[Sentama Lin]

Hmmm... Jaft wants a letter? Well alright then! I will write one to Jaft once I get my materials. It should be special, in my opinion, because rarely anyone ever writes letters anymore.

Hmmm... what to write to Jaft about...  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

Anything and everything.

Ritzy wants a free letter. ritzy promises to write back!!!  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

I love eating Ritz.  

[Sentama Lin]

"Heh... alright!" Lin replies to Ritz.

As Lin goes on Gaia, reads Confessions of Saint Augustine of Hippo, and writes a report about said confession, Lin is also thinking of what to write to people.

There's so many things that can be said... but not enough space. Lin thought as he multitasked.  

[Ritz_Freak]

LIN!!! HELP!!! SOMEONE TELL JAFT HE CAN'T EAT ME!!!! burning_eyes  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

No one is. You taste delicious!

I still hand-write letters to my cousins in Jersey. Ya can't just deck out e-mails with doodles, glitter, and ribbons like you can with letters (though, admittedly, I only write to them once about every two months)..

I'd love to recieve a letter from one of you guys so bad. gonk ..........But that would require me giving out my address, and that little implant in my brain called "rulez of teh internetz" dictates that's a definite nono....

Do you have a P.O. Box then that we can send letters to?  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

Wait a tick, Lin, do you want the address now or later?
