To the editor,
Recently, I have been contacted by a close friend, who, for reasons I do not fully understand, wishes to remain unnamed. Anyways, the reason I'm writing this letter is because apparently, there is a big problem, which I need to write you about. I cite from my friend's letter to me:
(…) "It really needs to stop right now, I'm getting sick and tired of all these stories about it." (…)"I mean, its annoyingly enough if they write about your actual life, but if it's not even real half the time, it's just too much"
Know that I personally do not see the relevance, so I did not summarize the citations, rather then put them here fully.
In any event, I write to you about the act of shipping.
My friend told me that there was too much shipping of us two in general, especially by fans (although I fail to see how this is relevant, but anyways). I would like to see this stop, as it appears to annoy my friend a lot.
It is perfectly normal for people to want to put things into containers, and of course, when you're working on that, you sometimes get a bit bored, and mock around. But what you don't realize at that moment is that you're actually damaging things with this. SO please don't do that, and if you are shipping, please know that I like to be treated gently.
Of course, you like to ship me in a lot of different ways, and I'm perfectly fine with that, but please, don't ship me ten times in a row, at one point, you gotta know what you want with me, right?
Now, I don't resent shipping, but its generally better to not ship me too far, cause I really care about the environment and all, and far shipping is never good for that, right?
`Now for something to do instead of shipping me. You could just go to the local store, and buy a volume or a figuring or whatever you want, and check that perhaps it is made in your own country, or even better, make some stuff yourself. Less shipping there and you still can have some fun.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with shipping, mind. If you really don't have anything else you can get your hands on, I'm fine if you go ahead and ship for a bit, just try not to make your life depend on it. It gets kinda annoying then.
So, in conclusion, if you want naruto goods, you don't need to have them shipped over to you, you can just as well try and reduce the shipping costs, and even save the environment while you're at it. This helps everyone a lot, so keep at it.
Yours truly,
