Margaret Mitchell’s Manila Envelopes

Origins
Margaret Mitchell was an author and journalist best remembered today for her Civil War romance, Gone with the Wind. When writing it, she wrote the first chapter, then the last, then whatever she wanted to in random order. When guests would come over to her house, she would tuck the chapters into the envelopes and hide them someplace like her in her bed, the closet or under the floorboards.

Effects
When something is placed within the envelope, whether it’s a resume or a candy bar, the quality of it is increased. The object needs to be small enough to fit in the envelope, and any tears in it will dim the effects. Also, the person who originally put it in there will try to hide the object from everyone else, no matter how fantastic it has become.
