Taken from megamole:

Leave a list of characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friends list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!

I'm interpreting 'character' as historical or fictional, because there are too many of both kinds I don't want to have to leave out. And, indeed, some rather bridge the two categories, as you will see.

1. Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus This-that-and-the-other....
2. Leela from Futurama
3. Christopher Chant
4. Alessandro Moreschi
5. Severus Snape
6. Odysseus
7. Reginald Jeeves
8. Marcus Tullius Cicero
9. Georg Frideric Händel
10. Lord Summerisle

Ack, I can't really think of another good in-character reply to this. But you, sir, are a genius! It's the bit about the Charybdis bypass I really like.

Thank you for much easing the woes of my cold...

Gaah! If I'd known you'd wuss out after one go, I wouldn't have held back on jokes regarding learning to dance the Calypso, how Polyphemus couldn't handle his drink, or how these three-piece r'n'b girl bands seem to get everywhere these days, but really sound bloody awful when you listen to the words....

Ah, apologies, but I'm afraid the nature of the story is that there's far more to say on Odysseus' side than there is on Penelope's. I've pretty much referenced all the major plot points from her point of view already... Plus, cold. And lectures.

Is there seriously some R'n'B trio called the Sirens, then, or something?

No, but Atomic Kitten, Destiny's Child and The Sugababes all have three members and all sound bloody awful. I know r'n'b is stretching it to describe all three, but I was thinking fast...
