Last week, I got perhaps the best email I've received since I started writing this blog. A very nice young man named Justin told me that back when he was in the 5th grade, around the time Star Wars: Episode I came out, he'd met a girl named Alyssa in a Star Wars-Star Trek discussion chat room, and they'd become pen pals. Was I her?
Well, I'm not, but as it turns out, I had a pen pal I met on the last day of Duke Young Writers Camp who I traded Star Wars fan fiction with for a couple of years. So if you're out there, and you were Justin's pen pal, or think you might have been mine, drop me an email at AlyssaObserves (at) gmail dot com. I'd love to harness the power of the blog to make these reunions happen.
