The Dead Letters Challenge is a Fan Fiction challenge to write an epistolary work from the point of view of a dead character. The character is allowed to write a letter to a single person from beyond the grave.

Origin

In 2000/2001, the challenge was founded by fanfiction writer and archivist Kate Bolin based on The Dead Letter Office. While the challenge was primarily aimed at Buffy the Vampire Slayer, other fandoms participated as well.
