Elegance of Fashion: Period Drama Advice Event

What would happen if characters from different period dramas could write to each other? Better yet, what would happen if characters from different period dramas could ask each other for advice? What sort of advice would they give? Good? Bad? Average? Maybe they would be of no help whatsoever!

Welcome to Period Drama Advice Event, a four part advice column event for period drama characters.

How it Works:
1) For each part of the event, there will be a letter from a period drama character asking for advice listed on Elegance of Fashion.
2) On your blogs, answer the letter as a character from a period drama character. Make sure to post a copy of the asking letter in your blog post.
3) Leave a comment at Elegance of Fashion in the post of the asking letter (It must be in that post!): the comment should contain the name of the character you're answering, the name of the character you are writing for and the URL of the answering letter post at your blog. For example, if you are responding to an asking letter from Scarlett O'Hara (Gone With the Wind) as Dorcas Lane (Lark Rise to Candleford), the comment should look something like this (note: the URL of the example is for my review of Lark Rise to Candleford, not of a letter post):

Scarlett O'Hara (Gone With the Wind)
Dorcas Lane (Lark Rise to Candleford)
http://elegance-of-fashion.blogspot.com/2010/08/review-lark-rise-to-candleford-series-1.html

It doesn't necessarily have to be exactly like this, but just as long as those pieces of information are in there.

4) I will accept responses for one week. When that week is up, I will open a poll for readers to vote in for their favorite response letter. I will have a post with all the links for that letter for people to read other letters. The poll will last for one week. The person with the most votes will be awarded a small banner or button to put on their blogs when the event ends.

5) If you win a part of the event, leave a comment here at Elegance of Fashion saying whether you would want a small banner or a button, which character you would want on the banner or button, and whether you would want your name/username or blog name on the button. All the winners will receive their buttons one week after the end of the event. If you do not comment by the end of the event, you will not receive a button.

Rules to Keep in Mind
1) As always, keep the letters clean. I won't accept letters that aren't.
2) You can't write as a character from the same period drama as the character in the asking letter. For example, if the letter is from Elinor Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility, you cannot write as Marianne Dashwood.
3) You can enter up to five responding letters (they all must be from different characters, but those characters can be from the same period drama (so long as they're not from the same period drama as the character in the asking letter)). To even make it more interesting, you could have other characters reference other responding letters: for example, "As my dear father mentioned", "Unlike my dear Mrs. Elton", etc.
4) The character you are writing as could be real or fictional, but the character must come from a period drama.
5) You can also make regular comments on the asking letter posts. Those posts are not limited to entries. Feel free to comment!
6) Once a quarter of the event is finished (i.e. We've moved onto the next letter), you may write a responding letter as the character in any of the previous asking letters.
7) You can only win one button per event.

Start Date of Event: February 13th, 2012
