 ¤ DEAR GREAT PUMPKIN..._██████████████ ███████████ ███████________________- ¤ a gram-type thread
SO, do we remember writing letters to Santa last Christmas? It was great fun and many lovely wishes were gifted when the letters tickled Santa's fancy! Well, for October, we're going to write letters again, only this time, we're writing to the Great Pumpkin!
Won't Linus be thrilled?
Here's the deal~
¤ You may submit ONE letter. Doesn't have to be for you!
¤ No lists. Specify ONE Halloween species in your letter, sorry!
¤ What you want must be in clear letter format!
¤ That means no submitting a custom form with a 'Dear Great Pumpkin!' in front of it!
¤ The letters are chosen and interpreted at my discretion; these are free semi-customs, basically.
¤ Other colorists may or may not join in, I make no guarantees or promises.
¤ I do NOT know how many I plan to take, please don't ask. ^^;
¤ These will be delivered on Halloween (I hope). So I suggest you have your letter posted before that. ^.~

¤ Be creative, make us smile! Don't just ask for the pet, it makes us facepalm.
¤ You must somehow include how many Halloween Wishes you already own and what type(s)
¤ Think of this as a semi-custom, include some color and marking ideas

¤ DEAR GREAT PUMPKIN..._██████████████ ███████████ ███████__________________. ¤ an example letterGilded Dragon
Dear Mr. Great Pumpkin,
This year I am dressing up for Halloween as a gypsy. I'm gonna dye my hair and paint my nails and wear a cool costume and jingling bangles and a hip scarf. I wanna see if i can find a crystal ball to bring around, too!
I'm going to be a good girl and bring toilet paper on my trick-or-treat run, but I promise you that I'll only use on the people who don't give me candy. And if everyone does, it'll go right back next to the toilet, where it belongs. I won't use shaving cream because it blew up in my bag last time after I came home and spilled the bag to sort the candy - it sprayed all over the hardwood and made a biiiiig mess.
So, because I'm gonna be a good girl for Halloween, please give me my sincererest wish: A zombie of my very own. I have a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost, which makes three, but I don't have a zombie yet, and I'd love to have one of my very own. He doesn't need to be very scary, or vicious, or mean. He doesn't even need to like brains. He can be really clean, too! And maybe even scared of getting dirty. But he'd be mine. I'd name him Peroxide and he'd be good at keeping clean and wish that he wouldn't rot. Or something like that.
The ghostest with the mostest, Gilded.
P.S.: I'll leave your halloween offering of a bowl of candy corn out by the back door so you don't have to break in.

Dear Great Pumpkin, I will dress up as my favorite pokemon this year, Doredia. I am excited since a good friend of mine is dressing up as Ash. So, I thought it be pretty cool if I could be granted this year with a ghost based on the great and mysterious MissingNo (2 links there btw). I would promise my only Halloweenie, Iluna the werewolf, won't get jealous and attack MissingNo, but she is a bit insane. She barely gets along with my other wishes, so she doesn't want ANOTHER Halloween wish getting all the attention. I will do my best to keep Iluna away from MissingNo if you were to grant me this wish. Love, Doredia. PS: Halloween is my favorite holiday! -gets shot for trying to get brownie points-

Dear Great Pumpkin,
I don't know if this is because of you, but thank you for such a wonderful year!
I can't say I've been a good girl, but hey, I have been good enough. No one's dead because of me! At least... I don't think so... I can say I've made a lot of people happy! Again... I think I did!
I do continually learn that I am quite afraid of ghosts, however. ( *sadface* ) I don't know why... It seems like they want to be every where and play tricks on people. Please don't send them to me...! Especially ones that resemble mint chocolate ice cream in any way. I love that too much to be afraid of it!
With this letter, I'm sending you some ice cream. I hope it doesn't melt before it reaches you! Else... I guess you can have a cold soup? Oror! Better yet! Visit Santa and I'm pretty sure it'll freeze right back up for you!
Hugs and Kisses,
@<3 aka ATh e a r t
P.S. The only things that scares me more are zombies. (I didn't know how to add this in better xD I have one second gen Zombie).

DEAR GREAT PUMPKIN,
I know I'm going to see you come Halloween this year as I've been patiently waiting in that pumpkin patch since last year. The beagle deal was set up by a bunch of crazy kids in the neighborhood, as you noticed which prompted you to hide away for another whole year. But this year I'm hoping for a ton of candy and maybe even a cute little Werewolf wish. I can see the cute little brown, black and white critter already with his natural markings...or maybe its a she? The varying browns makes it hard to tell. Can't be sure and I'm not sure if you're even going to read this letter because pumpkins don't have eyeballs do they? I think I'll leave a blanket and a water bottle out for you in the pumpkin patch. After all, it gets chilly and those kids will probably think you're a ghost. After all, I don't want to come home and find Great Pumpkin pie sitting on the table on Halloween. You're probably getting bored reading this or maybe even a little frightened, which I don't blame you because this is coming from a total stranger who could be plotting against you. But I promise, whipped cream, milk and ice cream are far from my mind right now. I mean, I've got 4 little monster's staying at my place! A vamp, a zombie, a ghost and a were! Sometimes they get into fights and I have to lure them apart with meat or a blood packet. But all is well! And I hope the nights aren't too chilly in your pumpkin patch.
Happy Halloween!
-The not so much of a stranger, Myst.

Dear Great Pumpkin,
I like to believe that I have been good this year so I should get lots of good treats on my Halloween run. But if I don't I will ring their door bell then beg and plead until I get treats. On second thought, that might take all night at just one house. I know! I will dress up as a really scary vampire, they will have to give me good candy just to make me go away!
I will wear a really spooky hat covered in cob webs, my face will be really pale and I'll wear nothing but black and white! On second thought my face should stay pale but I will wear black,silver and red! I hope that I will get lots of good treats and maybe even a vampire wish. I have no zombie, ghost or werewolf to keep me company but I would really love to have a vampire to cure my loneliness. It can be red and silver with black just like me oh but to make it different maybe he should have some swirls with leaves for halloween. I love pumpkin pie but please hear my plea, grant me my wish on this Halloween!
The lonely vampiress, HarukaHaru.
P.S. Did I mention I love pumpkins?

Dear Great Pumpkin,
I have to say, I've spent a lot of time not believing in you. I was an apumpkinist, y'might say. But then there was this kid, and he was a pumpkevangelist, and he was pretty convincing. Anyways, I'd like to believe in you. To make amends. But... I think I'm gonna need a little proof. My zombie friend Simon- he says that I should write you a letter. He said that it's not like with Santa Claus where there's volunteer corps in Alaska and Santa Claus, Indiana who write letters back- he said that if I get anything back from you, it'd be a genuine response and proof that you're real. And Simon's pretty good about telling me what's real- I mean, I didn't even believe in zombies until I met him. I think I'm getting a lot better at believing in fictional things. Like vampires. Vampires, when you think about it, don't make any sense. How would a race of creatures that feeds only on blood, can't go out during the day, and have comically oversized fangs that make it hard to talk evolve? Especially with such colors... swirling dark reds, blacks, and whites. Very classic-looking. I guess I've just chalked it up to Halloween magic. There's Halloween magic in the world, right?
Anyways, if you'd like to stop by this Halloween, I promise that no stupid teenagers will smash you. I'll be carving my jack-o'-lanterns from turnips this year, so as not to offend you.
Sincerely,
Scaramouche Fandango

Dear Great Pumpkin,
Halloween is almost here! I'm not sure if I work on Halloween... If I am then I'm going to paint myself pale and put on vampire fangs! I hope the customers' children won't be scared. I can just imagine the stares I'll get!
Last Halloween, I don't even remember where I was! Maybe I was in a coma or something... but the point is this is my first Halloween at Wishful Thinking! My normal Wishes stayed up late last night telling each other scary stories. One that stood out to me was the story of the Lady in White. She's a ghost with white fur and faint markings, and haunting blue eyes. She only appears late at night, crying and beckoning other Wishes to follow her into the night so she won't be lonely anymore. What she does with the ones who follow her, no one knows! I think I'd like to follow her just to see.. But I'd be too scared to go alone!
Here's hoping that she doesn't eat me or turn me into a ghost too!
Happy Halloween! Love, Kawaii Makura Koneko.

Dear Great Pumpkin the Omniscient,
It's that time of year again. Time to frighten all the small children (and some of the larger variety too!). At least now I can do it in peace, without all the evil looks from parents in Wal-mart. I swear the wart on my nose has grown by at least half an inch. Thank goodness for all the frogs around here to rub on my face.
Well to get to the point, I've really tried to carry on your teachings all throughout the year. I even avoided that lynch mob that one time when they were convinced I had hexed all their children with the chickenpox. I swear it wasn't me that time. Anyway, I was hoping that all my hard work might have earned me a new assistant this year. My last assistant had an unfortunate accident with an experimental spell I was working on. Well, to be honest, she sort of involuntarily volunteered to try out my new spontaneous combustion potion. So she still helps around a bit. But it's really hard for her to pick things up since she's a ghost. So I need a more substantial assistant.
I was really hoping for someone who would be available nights, seeing as how I plan on setting up shop in the local graveyard at night. I really don't have a lot to pay them with unless you could find someone interested in leftover body parts and brains. He'd need to wear greys and purples to work since we'll be in the graveyard. Black stands out too much against the headstones.
Well, I had better get going now. Lots to do!
Have a very merry haunting season this year!
Your loyal servant,
brekke01

Dear Mr. Great Pumpkin
Sir I realize in the past my correspondences to you have been a bit lacking. Truly I do love Halloween and all the great joys you bring with it, but I find that my spirit has been greatly dampened by recent odd events... Not that I blame you for these happenings, oh gracious no! You are after all only a pumpkin, a Great Pumpkin, but I digress.
Really it all started with this terrible moaning in my attic, dreadfully annoying, that coupled with the leak that no one could fix. Though the plumber did eventually determine it was salt-rot caused by a mysteriously constant stream of tears that seemed to pool up and rain down in random places from above. It took further painstaking investigation on my part to find that the true cause of my woe was a dreadfully woeful ghost. It calls itself Bastet, and no amount of pleading or duct-tape on my part can seem to stop his wailing..or the constant leaks.
Of course that I could live with! After all what is one little ghost and my insignificantly massive plumbing bill? In fact the little spirit made all of my future Halloween parties quite fun!
The vampire though, that was uncalled for!
Not that I blame you of course, after all you are only a pumpkin. A great pumpkin but still...I digress...
The vampire was a scourge, a nasty thing calling itself malice. More like "Menace" All my poor-poor vegetables..Ever bit of produce I ever seemed to bring home the tricky little demon would somehow get his hand's on them and drain them dry. Even the canned goods! He seems to have an insatiable appetite, and while I cant fathom where he came from, no amount garlic bulbs or duct-tape, can seem to keep him out of my home.
And so to you Mr. GREAT Pumpkin, I do humbly request that you show me this greatness of yours by delivering unto me a Werewolf! A beast with ferocious animal markings maybe? Spots or stripes? With bold terrifying eyes of varying colors. Maybe something with bright or natural fur? Really the details are up to you! As I see it the only way to rid myself of one monster is to acquire another more manageable one, one that doesn't have a preference for my produce...
Sincerely,
Your doubting friend
Shini.

xxxDear Pumpkin of the Great,
xxxWoo! Halloween! The event I look forward to all year is almost here again~ Sure, Easter is great, what with all the chocolate. And the presents you get at Christmas are pretty cool, but no Holiday can be quite as fun as Halloween! Dressing up, decorating the neighbourhood, scaring children... and of course, free candy! But the best part of Halloween has to be the wild parties my friends always throw. Last year I went as a Porcelain Doll, I looked pretty cool actually. I'm not sure what I'll be this year, though I'm sure it'll be scary!
xxxHowever, something prevents me from being filled with pre-Halloween spirit... You see, Mr. Pumpkin sir, my dad built me this really cool tea house up in our backyard. It's got a neat little pond with it, where my goldfish live. Well... lived. I had four of them, two of them were orange (I named them Jeice and Cell) and the others were white with orange in some places (Piccolo and Vegeta!). I love those fish, and every morning I go up and feed them, and do the same in the afternoon. Whenever I'm upset I always go up to the tea house and cry with them, and they were always there for me. But recently, some heavy storming around here caused some funky chemicals to get in the water. And well.. today when I went up to feed them, I saw three little bodies floating around. I cried my heart out, and it took me a few hours to realize that Vegeta was still alive! So he's out in the bucket warming up right now (Since the water was very cold), but I'm still crying. I am praying that he lives!
xxxOn a lighter note, I can finally start on some Halloween drawings! I always enjoy coming up with costumes for my characters, although occasionally I run out of ideas. This year I think I may draw them cosplaying, but who knows, I may change my mind~ My friends seem to really be getting into the Halloween spirit this year, so I think I may throw us a kick a** party! Hmm, better make a note to go decoration shopping..
xxxBut it would seem not everyone is very pleased that it's Halloween. My poor little Ghost Wish, Rosie, seems to be feeling a little lonely. I love her to bits and spend loads of time with her, but she doesn't know any other Halloween wishes. You know, it's probably because she tries to avoid Zombies, Vampires and Werewolves. But you know, if it would make her happy, I would stay home all Halloween to keep her company. But you know what, I think what she really needs is a little Ghost friend! Oh Great Pumpkin, I would be so grateful if you would send Rosie a friend! She loves bright colours and spots, because she's a hyper little thing.
xxxWow, sorry for all that writing! Good luck haunting, sir!
xxxFrom your respecting admirer,
Duckeh! <33
xxxEdit; I've decided to dress up as War from the Four Riders of the Apocalypse! And Vegeta passed away that night, so I buried him with the others..

Dear Great Pumpkin, Mwahaha!! You call yourself evil? Please, you are a vegetable, merely a side dish. Stare into my eyes and you will see true evil. I laugh at your pathetic attempt to display dominance around Halloween. No, this far-from-holiday needs a much better leader... This is where I come in.
I am sure by now, small-brained Pumpkin Spirit, that you are thoroughly confused. It is true that Vord is mild-mannered, shy, quiet, kind, polite... But this is not Vord contacting you. No, this is his vampire within, the truly terrifying beast that is only let loose on Halloween. No man can contain me during this time!
This being said, that mongrel werewolf of mine is causing me some trouble. The creature will stop at nothing to frustrate me! As a vampire, I find him disgusting. He would be more tolerable if it were not for his irritating arrogance and persistence to be the dominate male...
Ah, an idea has struck me! Pathetic Pumpkin, if you wish to be spared, you will send me a tribute to be my assistant. He will be a Vampire and I will teach him all I know - together we will strike fear into all who see us (Including that wretched Werewolf)! However, I will not accept just any tribute. He must be the best you have to offer! His fur is to match his soul; midnight black, covered in glowing green tribal patterns. His shining green eyes will pierce his enemies' souls! Yes, I believe I will consider letting you live (and not cook you with potatoes on side of a juicy steak) if you send me such a gift. He will be horrifying enough to scare even those with the strongest of hearts.
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy this Halloween, for it will be your last... I know I will! Your personal Grim Reaper,
Vord the Vampire
