Gamers come out on top

The one sector of the economy not really touched by the recession (yet) has been video games and consoles. After all, gamers have always had to fit in their solitary interests.

Games have always had to come after food, lodging and work. Gamers simply worked them in, and they always will.

My NintendoDS came from Santa, and I purchased two used games to begin. My kids got me a new crossword for DS, too.

Good to go, you know.

I just had the ultimate nerd dream...

and I am so ashamed of it I can only blog it here for posterity.

It included Star Trek elements, only through virtual reality.

It include virtual reality, of all things.

It included gamers and geeks of all stripes.

And the piece de resistance: it included zombies.

I gotta get rid of my job and find something new.

Or maybe I should stop playing video games.

Is this what happens when we get old?

Beyond the Fields

Fifteen years have passed and Josey is bored. It was okay raising little Aerith, but living with Vincent was no slice of Heaven.

Time to move on? You bet.

So let's move on in Time! This is one of a few concept chapters I am producing to start the new book: Beyond the Fields.

Warning: It is not Final Fantasy.

I am so very let down by finishing the book. I can't decide if it's because I miss my little world or if I miss creating it.

Fishing around right now for people to populate the next book. Thinking about setting it in Kalm or maybe the Junon area. Remember that the Junon area touches on Fort Condor. I already have a few characters in mind and some interactions, so it's a given I will go ahead.

But when? The next book will be much freer and will end with Advent Children.

The End

Or rather, the denouement.

Who is the Dragon Lady? Read the ending to Josephine's Destination.

Is the Planet still angry? If you've seen Advent Children, you know the answer.

More to come? Who knows?

Finished so soon?

NOT. One more chapter, a sort of afterword. A few people have asked me to continue the story, but I haven't a hook for the next book.

Gotta have a hook, especially with fanfiction. Otherwise we are all the same.

I like the part about not being much of a hero(ine), but how far can that go before it gets tiring?

So, anyway, the point is that the last chapter is up soon; it's really the denouement and wrapup; and that will be it for a while.

Theoretically the next book will coincide with Advent Children. Anyone interested in being an extra?

After the battle, comes peace, but at what price?

So they say.

Josephine returns to Nibelheim.

The last book of the trilogy is nearly finished.
