Letter to My Chemical Romance

I'm writing a letter to My Chemical Romance, and this was my first draft:

Dear My Chemical Romance,

Hello, I am Anthea Chan. I am thirteen years old, soon to be fourteen in June. Of course, I am a fan of yours; I might even say I could be a “fan girl”. Which is a term I laugh at, but which I occasionally categorize myself under. Your music is inspirational to me, and I have you guys to thank that I am writing this letter. I know that this is clichéd, but you guys saved my life. I would love it if you could give your autograph, please?

I am happy to be part of the MCRmy, and I would like to welcome you to New York on May 9, but since my parents don’t approve of all the cursing and the negative content. I laugh at that, since they only heard like, one song, with like, one curse, and they say I shouldn’t listen to your band’s music. Writing this letter was pretty strange for me, since I don’t write letters to famous people. I also hope that nothing I wrote is bad in any way, I was very careful in what I wrote. It would be very much appreciated if you wrote back, but I won’t expect that much of you, since you guys must be very busy, and have your own lives.

This letter was also sort of an experiment, to see whether anyone would actually reply, or if hired people with stamps and lots of ink just stamp on your signature. When I told my theory to my friend, who sent a letter to you a week ago, she thought that that would be useless, but I’ll send this letter anyway, just to see. If this IS signed using stamps and ink, I’m fine with that, and I respect the fact that you guys won’t have time for all your fans. I may be a “fan girl” but I am an intellectual “fan girl”. I won’t be crying if this never returns to me. Well, actually, I might. I think my friend will. I think I might be crying the day you come to New York, since I won’t see you, which is pretty sad, since I live in New York.

So just stamp on the signatures if you want, I’m okay with that… J Since I’m actually supposed to be doing my homework, I’ll end this letter now… it’s long enough as it is. Bye, and please give me an autograph! J I would be much obliged.

Sincerely,

Anthea Chan

P.S. Whilst I am being a fan girl, I may as well say this: I think all of you are really talented, and really good looking. Sorry for being so obsessive… lol… O.o…. bleh…. And I named my cat Uncle Jiggy… it’s not really a cat... it’s actually a keychain… from McDonalds.


Then I decided that it was too boring and too long, so this is what I'm going to send:

Dear My Chemical Romance,

Hello, I am Anthea Chan of New York. I am thirteen years old, soon to be fourteen in June. Of course, I am a fan of yours; I might even say I could be a “fan girl”. Which is a term I laugh at, but which I occasionally categorize myself under. Your music is inspirational to me, and I have you guys to thank that I am writing this letter. I know that this is clichéd, but you guys saved my life. I would love it if you could give your autograph; please? I am happy to be part of the MCRmy, and I would like to welcome you to New York on May 9, but since my parents don’t approve of all the cursing and the negative content; and some videos I’ve seen on YouTube of some of the things you do at your concerts would scare my parents, I won’t be able to go to the concert.

I first came across your music while on a bus to Washington D.C., and I heard “Welcome to the Black Parade”. It sounded really beautiful, and was one of the few songs on Z100 that I actually enjoyed listening to. When I came home, I immediately started watching videos of you on YouTube, downloading your songs from iTunes, and drawing pictures of you guys… which usually ended up pretty badly… why are Gerard’s eyes so difficult to draw? Frank was easiest to draw, though. I messed up on a picture of Mikey; I’ll have to start over. I haven’t gotten a chance to draw Ray and Bob yet, but I might draw all of you guys together, so you won’t have to sign five sheets of paper and I won’t have to pay for too much postage (a system I don’t understand… lol.) So this letter may be sent long after the actual time I wrote this.

This letter was also sort of an experiment, to see whether anyone would actually reply, or if hired people with stamps and lots of ink just stamp on your signature. If this IS signed using stamps and ink, I’m fine with that, and I respect the fact that you guys won’t have time for all your fans. I may be a “fan girl” but I am an intellectual “fan girl”. I won’t be crying if this never returns to me. So just stamp on the signatures if you want, I’m okay with that… Please sign with anything you want, signed, stamped, or Autopenned! J I would be much obliged. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Anthea Chan
