I thought that Ed wrote number 6!

I was upset, nay..in shock...that I was beaten to it..

 

[Haggises]

Sorry Ed.
If it's any consolation I thought of you as I wrote it

Wikipedia says ...

An epistolary novel is a novel written as a series of documents. The usual form isletters, although diary entries, newspaper clippings and other documents are sometimes used. Recently, electronic "documents" such as recordings and radio, blogs, and e-mailshave also come into use. The word epistolary is derived from Latin from the Greek word ἐπιστολή epistolē, meaning a letter (see epistle).
The epistolary form can add greater realism to a story, because it mimics the workings of real life. It is thus able to demonstrate differing points of view without recourse to the device of an omniscient narrator.
