It’s not a terribly serious one, but I have a column on my homepage. Mostly it’s people from another message board who get bored and decide to ask Dear Elfie for advice (which means a handful of the letters make so sense to anyone else) Unfortunately, a thread purge killed the last 15 or so letters and replies…Oh well, I’ll get more letters. I answer all questions, not matter how odd, as you can see here [http://www.geocities.com/theevilwriter/dearelfie.html](http://www.geocities.com/theevilwriter/dearelfie.html) (rated pg-13 for language)

So, does anyone else hand out sage advice to people on the internet? It’s fun! Probably better advice than you could get for $5.99 a minute, too 🙂

I’ve got Ask The Serial Romance Reader on my page. Definitely not sage advice.
