There is (was?) an artist named Frederick S. Fudala, somewhere in upstate New York, who (a long time ago) was on deviantart and created this drawing which I “embedded” into “‘Tami Smithers Was Here’” on the writingsofleviticus site. It’s called “Druuna’s Ascent”, a tribute to the graphic novel character created by Paolo Serpieri. As I recall Mr. Fudala’s original comment was: “I picture Druuna, having been stripped by a gang of thugs, escaping by scaling this cliff, only to find herself thrust into yet another peril which she will have to deal with while naked.” It fits in with Tami’s plight in general, and in particular her scaling the cliff to get away from teenage toughs at the end of Part 29 of “‘Tami Smithers Was Here’”. Fred, I’ve been trying to find you for years, please contact me!

This one emerged in toto over the course of the weekend. I started it yesterday morning. It turned out to be longer than I expected. Go to “Stories” above, then click on “Maik-lings”.

This was in response to the encouraging comments I got as to wanting to know more about these girls. If you’re new to this universe I suggest you read the two earlier Maik-lings stories, and also Chapter 5 of “Five Mailgirls”. Let me know what you think!

Lovely story! I especially enjoyed the (almost) vegan representation during Jing's breakfast and full one for Fenfeng.

Not exactly the type of comment I was expecting! Ha.

I'm glad you notice these little touches though. Am interested in your reactions to the other parts of the story. It's actually seven vignettes with a concluding chapter.
