This was a thing I did about 5 years ago back when I had my old miscellaneous book (*takes 15 min break to have an existential crisis over the fact that 2016 was 5 years ago*) and I wanted to do it again. Since that time, I've finished many more stories, created some, and have made countless other OCs.

Basically, this is just a wholesome thing to do to kind of reflect on my characters and talk to them as if I could actually write them a letter in a Jane Austen novel.

These may contain spoilers, so I've put the book(s) each character is from in case you haven't read them yet!

TO DYLAN
Book(s): Different, Error, Finality

Ah yes, my oldest OC that I still have published. You and I have gone through countless trials and tribulations together over the 4 years I spent writing your journey. Since the last time I did this, I've finally finished your series, and I've got to say, I am so sorry about all the pain you went through, but I cried a river while writing your epilogue and finally giving you years of peace (with someone that nobody expected you to end up with). I'm so very proud of your toughness and how brave you are. Honestly, sometimes I wish I could stand up for myself as much as you do. You've taught me so much; thank you, Dyl Pickle.

TO FALLON
Book(s): Conflate, Rupture

Oh my baby. I consider you to be the most similar to me and it still breaks my heart that I had to leave your story unfinished. I have so much love for you and I'm so sorry for the literal hell I put you through, but alas, that's The 100 for ya. I admire your courage and kindness in a world that was constantly trying to skew your morals, but you stuck to them. I hope to write an alternate universe epilogue for you and Bellamy one day because it's what you deserve. Plus, the show ended horribly and I like to pretend that it ended with season 5 :)

TO NADIA
Book(s): Aegis

First of all, I hope you aren't mad at me for... *ahem* .... Anyways, I am so proud of how much you developed over the course of your story. I still consider it one of my favorites because of the dynamics with the Keepers!! That book was Pain City, but you were always determined to stick up for yourself without losing your softness. I wish I was half as artistic as you because I can't even draw a stick figure :') I'm so glad I decided to stick with your book after many setbacks because I know it's beloved to many who read it, as well as to me. But I truly am sorry for everything *runs away from Minho*

TO THALIA
Book(s): Caged

My second-oldest OC! Wow, I wrote your story so long ago. I just scrolled back and apparently I published Caged on 14 December, 2014! You can tell by my writing in that book that it was written a while ago, and I definitely lacked in some areas while creating your character and developing you, but you're better in my head. I'm sorry that some readers seem to think that just because you're bad at talking to people, you're Katniss 2.0 :/ I think it's interesting to see an OC who isn't always warm and fuzzy, and boy you are not. It's crazy to think that you're my youngest main OC because you feel so much older than fifteen to me... or maybe that's just the trauma. Oops.

TO MATTHIAS
Book(s): Caged

My boyyyy!! My boooyyyyy!!!!! Man, I love you and I loved writing you. Even in my youth as I was writing this book, I wanted to create a male OC that was dorky, kind, and shy while still being badass. I was so worried that people would hate you while Caged was ongoing. Some did, and some preferred Asher over you, but you have such a special place in my heart. You were the first OC that I truly explored mental health in. It's because of you that I recognized anxiety symptoms in myself years later, and in a weird way, it felt like you were helping me through that initial confusion. Many hugs <3

TO ASHER
Book(s): Caged

Ah yes, the fan favorite of Caged. When I think deeply about your backstory, it breaks my heart even more to think about what you went through to try to keep your siblings alive. The difference between the persona you put out for the Capitol vs how you actually were is stark. You pretended to be suave, cocky, and charming, when in reality, you were humble and selfless. I think of you every time I have a character twirl knives because that's the iconic Asher Move™ Once again, I am so sorry because I know you caused so many tears. In my head, you and Matthias grew to have an iconic friendship even though you were frienemies in the book.

TO CALEB
Book(s): Rupture

I am once again upset over not finishing Rupture :) Help :) Tbh I've been crushing on you since your creation and ... CAN YOU BLAME ME??? You're handsome, chivalrous, smart, and kind. Even though Fallon had seasons to develop, your story was only just starting to be told. I had so many plans for you that had to be cut because season 4 was hell to write. Even though you didn't make the best choices, you were just trying your best and that's a whole mood. Also the fact that you didn't like season 3 Octavia is a mood tbh. I'm glad you FINALLY got to be with Raven after years of pining and dangit, now I really want to write that epilogue because I just need closure for all of the characters. Also help me with my science homework pls ??

TO ONTARI
Book(s): Radiance, Embers

*wraps u in a big fluffy blanket n gives you an overflowing mug of hot chocolate* I think you rival everyone else for how much you've been through. Embers is so difficult to write because going in-depth into the Desirables program makes my gut churn. I love your resilience and how hard you'll work for a better future, even if you wouldn't get to see it (hypothetically). You always put your siblings first, no matter what, and are willing to sacrifice anything for them, even your own life. You are so incredibly strong, both mentally and physically, and I love you to the moon and back. I just made a pun. Moon. Your last name is Nightfall. *finger guns*

TO CASSIAN
Book(s): Radiance, Embers

I feel like, if I tried to wrap you in a big fuzzy blanket and give you a mug of hot chocolate, you'd sit there and pretend to be angry like >:| for a few minutes before begrudgingly melting into it and then demanding I make you tea instead. But I would do anything for you so that's fine. I know your hidden softness and you can't fool me. Your intelligence is difficult to write because I've got like one brain cell, but I'm trying my best and things seem to be working out so far!! I know you've already been through everything in Radiance, but preparing to actually put you through it in Embers makes me want to lie in a puddle and cry. You have my heart. Also I'll never stop fighting the people in the comments who sexualize you and/or ship you with Johanna (ง'̀-'́)ง

TO ILLA
Book(s): Chaos Theory

Ah yes, another season of development I had to cut short due to a lack of motivation. Your book is very short but I'm so proud of the idea and how it turned out. I love how I managed to tie your powers into the eventual arrival of the Ghost Riders and kinda make it your fault they'll show up... sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Your eventual endgame with Scott makes me happy because you were so cute together in my head, especially in season 6b. You went through a lot of abuse and trauma in Eichen House and it would've taken a lot to help you, but I was willing to put in that work. Also remember when you tried to throw a whole ass weapon at Theo's head and slapped him across the face? Iconic.

TO VERA
Book(s): Mostly Ghostly

🎶You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...🎶 Ok I'm gonna be honest, I have a HUUUGGGEEEE crush on you and Isaac needs to move over because I gotta make my move ( ＾◡＾)っ ♡ Really though, I'm so glad that I decided to act on my Isaac hyperfixation and actually publish your story. I am so proud of it considering my unlucky history with Teen Wolf fanfictions!! And I love you!! You have the sarcasm and impulsive behavior of a Hale sibling but a heart 12 times too big for your lil body. I've learned so much about your culture and I want to try every food I mention because it all sounds delicious. I also want to get a hug from you— I bet you give the best hugs. Stay spooky!!

TO ARES
Book(s): Fireheart

Oh Lord. The Antichrist himself. Just kidding... (or am I?). You are by far the most challenging OC I've ever created. Your mentality is like no other and it's both fun and terrifying to get into your headspace. Your lack of morals scares me, frankly, but also I know you see plants and go :D so that softens your sharp edges. You need to take like seven chill pills, but considering we're on season two now, that won't happen. You won't ever get to the softness level of Nadia, but I'm proud of you for making two (2) whole friends!!! And more as time goes on. I'm excited to continue your story! Stop setting things on fire!

TO DOMINIC
Book(s): Mostly Ghostly

Hey lol ur HOT both literally and physically. I know you're just a side character right now, but I have so very much planned for you >:) Your story is far from over!! I always look forward to learning more about your religion because I realized that I know exactly 0 Jewish people in real life and it's exciting to learn about different cultures!! Especially in Teen Wolf, where they hardly ever talked about culture, except briefly when it came to Kira. You're a wonderful friend to Vera and your friendship is amazing!! I can't wait to show what I have in store for you!!

TO LENA
Book(s): Havoc, Aftermath

*taps microphone* CAN IT BE DECEMBER ALREADY SO WE CAN HAVE SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME ??? I miss you dearly and it's only been like 3 or 4 months :( I've gotten so used to writing about you consistently for the past 3-4 years, so this little hiatus is throwing me off. I love writing your stories because of how eccentric, bold, kind, empathetic, intelligent, and headstrong you are. You're a lovely person and I'm so very proud of your development from local vigilante to a well-respected Avenger. I also love learning about your (adopted) parents' culture because Filipinos are extremely under-represented in media!! I hope you get some sort of break in No Way Home but you probably won't. Soz :/ Plus I want to steal your wardrobe.

TO GRAHAM
Book(s): Havoc, Aftermath

Hello icon. First of all, you're amazing and I love you. You integrate so well into the Marvel universe that not only does Lena get love from the readers, but you do too! I always get so excited when people comment that they love you!! You deserve all that hype. You're the most loyal friend ever and think of all the little details that others may miss, especially Peter. I wish you could teach me how to play an instrument or two and we could jam together!! I had a blast exploring your relationship with your brothers in act 3 and I'm pumped for act 4!! I miss you, my son.

Okay I'm all in my feelings now over my babies and how long ago I created some of them🥺 I hope you enjoyed reading these !! It's such a nice thing to do and feels so personal.

Tagging some lovely people. Even if you aren't listed, consider yourself tagged if you'd like to do this! starryeyedturtle Iydiamartin nocturnalamp HannahDottier skainatblida -nolanholloway -isaaclahey astrovibess silentwishing swimwhim bottledcosmos freddycarters hallodude
