DIWS Strongly Worded Notes
Strongly Worded Notes celebrates the art of communication (or, as it were, miscommunication), in all the various mediums it uses. From handwritten letters on expensive parchment, to telegrams, to the digital E-mails; even pictograms and maps shrouded with secret codes! In this event we asked participants to embody the spirit of that Ineffable Duo and communicate in epistolary exchanges.

Summary
When bookshop owner Aziraphale finds a unique journal at an antiques shop, he doesn’t hesitate to purchase it. However, what he expects to be a perfectly ordinary (though lovely) antique writing journal turns out to be anything but, putting him on a path to changing his life in ways he never could have imagined. Between pressure from his family and the mystery of his new friend, Aziraphale has more than a few conflicts to tackle.
On the other side of the journal is a mysterious man named Crowley, who lives in a world of magic and enchantments. Crowley’s existence has been upended multiple times in rapid succession, leaving even his own identity under constant threat. With his new life comes a journal and a strange prophecy, but nobody, not even his new psychic friends, could foresee where his adventures would lead him.
Can these two people find a way to resolve their personal conflicts and be together, despite their impossible circumstances?

Summary
Separated by the horrors of World War II Crowley and Aziraphale have only letters to comfort them. With Aziraphale away at the front and Crowley back at home, and with every word being read by censors, they must communicate without revealing their relationship to a world that is not ready to accept it. Still, all that matters is that they both stay safe and that Aziraphale makes it safely through the war.
But when Aziraphale’s letters stop coming Crowley finds himself in a position where he knows exactly what has gone wrong, and he will stop at nothing to make sure he finds Aziraphale and brings him safely home.
