IW Gets Creative - PLEASE!

[Beaumanoir]

I'm trying to create a conceptual piece of performance writing based on relationships which could have been, but never were, because of a small decision which could effect an entire life. I've taken photos of people who I could have gone to university with (I.e. on my course, in my year of a university which I VERY nearly went to). The piece revolves around brief moments which I could have had with them, but never will. If that makes sense?

Right,

Now I need a quick back story on them, but, going with the theme of not knowing the people, it'd fit in with the concept if some other people contributed to them, even if I've never met them before.

What I could do with, if you have a spare 5 minutes, is some messages, sent from these people who I've snapped, to me. They only need to be short, anywhere from a few lines to 200 words, it doesn't really matter.

I got photos of people who could hypothetically been in my life, and now I'd like to hear from them.

It'd be great to get:

A quick message of anger/dislike
One of love, but not a deep one, just sort of 'fledgling relationship' thing.
A few messages from friends, the content is fairly open, here
A fairly formal reprimand from a dean/porter.
A note about university work, from a tutor
A friendly, geeky message
A note of love from one half of an older couple, to the other, years on, after they met at university.
A confided secret.


It'd be a huge help if anyone could PM/post some messages. Hopefully this seems like a good forum to be posting on!

Thanks in advance!

Tom

True story
I was painfully shy in high school, but because I was on the football team (3rd string but I had a uniform! ) a girl I had a big crush on showed some interest in return. One day she told me she loved me. I blurted out the first thing that came to mind -- "I love me, too." Wasn't the answer she wanted. The relationship cooled quickly after that...

Sounds interesting, I'd like to do this too. Which ones do you still need?

And to clarify, its basically writing a "letter" "note" acting as if I were another person who had that kind of relationship with you. Right?

Sent a couple to you.

That is a classic
