Made of Stuff

Deveril

Have you ever made friends? I mean, really MADE them? One girl has the dedication and know-how to make recycling more fun than ever before...


So anyway, this story is about a girl who you may know. She has a special skill. Actually
she has a few special skills. The one I mean right now though is her being able to make friends.
"What's so odd about that? I can make friends too" you say.
Well, of course you can make friends, you'd be pretty lonely if you couldn't, but can you MAKE
friends?
You see, she collects things that most people consider to be just stuff and nonsense, and then she
makes them into friends...

I've rejiggled the order. Just to clarify: this is INCOMPLETE!!! It's a taster of the stories... The third part is the introduction, which can be read at any point.

Thank you! My secret is out. I come from a world of myth and my words are channelled from another dimension, although some of them got a bit distorted in the send-receive process, probably a corrupt attachment. ;-) Dx view book

I am enjoying it. I find it easy to read, and it paints great pictures of Hong Kong - but I'll have to trust you as I've never been there. The research seems well done (I hope it wasn't based TOO much on your experiences...), and I can't decide whether or not the large amount of dialogue is a good o... view book

Not much of a comment, and who am I to judge, and it's a term often bandied about willy-nilly, but based on what I've just read: GENIUS. That's all. Deveril xxx view book
