If you'd like to play again, send a letter telling why it didn't work out with this person to the Mailbox thread. If you haven't read the book this character is from, you'll need to read it before submitting your letter for a new game.
Oh darn! I haven't read the book and I'm not sure when I'll have time, but definitely not until September. This was fun, as always. :)
And you got a villain! :) Thanks for playing, Vicki!

PLEASE NOTE:
Letter:
1. Vicki, Questing for a Buddy
Location: Perhaps Italy or Australia, but anywhere my friend will be.
Playing for: Friendship, as in best buddies, male, female, gay, straight, transgender, any race. I just want a really good friend!
I have had a lot of good boyfriends: Daemon (my first true love, an alien!), Will, Rock, and so many others that I lost focus of how important it is to have a really, really good (hopefully best) friend. I hope that I am able to find that now because I need it in my life. We can fangirl together, talk boys or girls (whatever suits his/her fancy). I have never truly gotten over Daemon and I will forever keep the Obsidian matching necklace and earrings he gave me. I'll treasure them forever, but I am ready for a GOOD BUDDY!!
