Letters for Chuck

I am having a hard time composing a letter to him honostly. I feel like I have nothing worthwhile to say. And I also feel like my letter is just going to be lost in the crowd. It is kind of disappointing, thinking like that, but it's what is really going through my mind.

Me too actually. Like, I don't really have much to say to him. The one thing I'd love to send him would be a short story or two, but he don't want them, so I'll have to think of something worthwhile...

Can someone please post the address here.

Yeah, I agree totally.
Hence why I started this thread...

Just write him to say thanks, and ask about his other writing inspirations. That's what I'm going to do.

I wrote that exact letter just, before reading that.
I'm jus' wondering now.

I want to send him a screen grab photo of me as a SpaceMonkey in Fight Club in Lou's Tavern basement and ask him to sign it.

Whats the address??

That's under AUTHOR | CONTACTING CHUCK.

You could also flash the Chuck Signal, but sometimes it's hard to see with the weather in the Pacific Northwest.

Hey skidmarx,

Which one are you, in Lou's?

Well, Chuck pretty much just said to write the letter and focus on what we ARE going to accomplish in 2005, so thats probably just what I'm going to do. I'm just going to explain goals and then give him the usual thank you and such. But does he reply to all of these, because a response would be badass.

I really want to write Chuck a letter and it'd be so cool to get a response, but I feel that I have absolutely nothing to say to the man.
I'M NOT WORTHY.
*bows*

i have been waiting to get back on the cult for a while now and the first thing i see is this.

im so happy.

He said no manuscripts. But I want to send him a story or two for him to read, not to review or edit or anything. Just like I would send it to a friend. Can I, or would this just annoy him?

I understand what you mean, Stoy. Don't think it would be so much about annoyance. Unlike a friend, he has an obligation to NOT read them. A lot more to lose. Literally.

I want to share in this way too, because on each page is a little about my heart and soul. Want to offer it to him. A candy gift to a friend. But I know that I cannot put him in that kind of possition.

My feeling is no, don't do it.

Hmm... you're probably right. I think professional authors might not want to read fan-work so that they don't get accused of plagiarism when at some point they publish something and Joe from Kansas says, "Hey, that's mine!"

I still don't have any idea what exactly I'm going to write. I'll probably ask him to write a six-word story for me only! That'd be really awesome.

Don't you ask my question!

If Chuck writes back that he is tired of writing six-word stories for people I'll kill you!

I'ma ask for an eight word story.

Just kidding.

Im'a ask him for something valuable I can hawk on ebay.

Like a picture, or a wet bathtowel.

Or some unwashed underpants--you know, something someone might pay big bucks to scratch and sniff.

Yeah, that'll probably be it.

Ah, fuck it. Im'a send him a six word story. Ima start work on it right away, as I'm sure it will go through heavy revvission befor txpos and stuffs...

Only joking, don't worry Stoy my friend...the idea is all yours and yours to keep.

Im giving him a quick lesson in Swedish language and customs.
Whatelse I don't know.
Maybe I tell him how I feel about things and stuff.

i read the "guidlines" for writing the letter but im a little confused...

do we send with our letter a SASE? it said the whole little envelope in the bigger envelope thing but... yeah. i already asked the question. SASE or no?

sase? what is it?

[b]S[/b]elf [b]A[/b]ddressed, [b]S[/b]tamped [b]E[/b]nvelope.

I don't think you need one. Just make sure your address is on the letter itself, not just the envelope.

thanks

FUCK. I forgot to put my address on the actual letter. In my effort to make it just one page, I forgot.

I have BAD luck. The postoffice will lose my letter.

*[I]pounds head on desk[/I]*

okay, so no SASE. That's a lot of postage Chuck is using then.

Okay, the little envelope inside the big envelope, does the little envelope have to have postage on it too? And should it be addressed in the same way?
