Love,

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Dear Bossman,
Buh-BYE!
All best,

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

With references to the weather and local sports teams?

Awesome artwork o' the day:
Why is Wil Wheaton charging down on orc John Scalzi while riding a unicorn-dragon-kitten?
Because it's fucking awesome!, that's why.
Not only that, but it's a contest! Where you win by making stuff up!
There are some questions that simply don't have answers...yet. Wheaton and Scalzi are holding a fan-fiction contest to benefit the Lupus Alliance of America. Explain the picture, win the contest, get paid, and help people.
...
You write a 400 to 2,000 word fanfic about the picture above. Come at it from any angle you like to explain, illuminate or otherwise bring to life what's going on in the picture above. Our only request is NO slash fanfic (please). But other than that, knock yourself out.
When you're finished with the story, in addition to whatever else you do with it (hey, it's your fanfic, we hold no claim to it), send a copy of the story to fanfic@scalzi.com by 11:59pm Eastern, June 30, 2010 (one entry per person), with the text of the story in the e-mail (no attachments, please). When you do, you'll enter your fan fiction into a contest.

Dear Employers:
We need to have a talk. Things have been okay lately, but not great. I just feel like I'm not getting everything I need out of this relationship. I'm not happy. You're not happy. We need to make a change.
It's not you. It's me. You're great, really. Any employee would be lucky to work for you. It's just that, right now, I'm not sure I can give you everything you want and deserve. And you deserve someone who can give you all that. Really. You do.
I hope we can still be friends. At least check in on each other's Facebook.
All my best,
msbelle

I was thinking more with statements like.
"I know it will be hard for you to adjust, as I am the nicest, but be strong and you will prevail. Whomever you hire to replace me will never measure up, but I am sure that he/she will have some nice qualities.
Thanks for all the free coffee and for not firewalling b.org."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, they're getting a lot of flack from the fannish community over the "no slash" thing. (Turns out they just don't know what slash means and their intent was to say "please no stories where we have sex with each other," but they still haven't actually corrected the page yet.)
ION, Al and Tipper Gore have separated! Nooooooooooo!!
