TEXT PLAY: Legend of Mana (PlayStation; 2000): Issue #16: Easy Peasy

Well, I promised a mission last time, and I've put this one off for long enough anyway, I suppose.

Things I Miss: Fanfiction

Didn't I do this topic at least once already?

Have a Derpy Day...

Here's one more thing from my DeviantART page.

TEXT PLAY: Legend of Mana (PlayStation; 2000): Issue #15: Yar Har Fiddle De Fee...

Being a pirate is alright with me...

A Little More Art...

Here's a couple new pics I posted to DeviantArt over the weekend.

Choices

A lot of my regrets come from these.

Regrets

I'd rather live with them than without them.

Making Time For Video

I still mean what I said around the first of the year about doing more video stuff.

Freeform Writing

That's what I started this blog for, and why I was curious about the video game stuff before.

The Character I'd Rather Be

I was actually pretty close once, and I didn't even know it at the time.

TEXT PLAY SIDE GAME: Final Fantasy (NES 1990/PS 2003 [Origins]): Issue #5: Stuff And Things

This might not advance the plot much, but some interesting things will get done.

From The Old Floppies: Issue #16: "Schriver's Selves"

Back when I was in college, working on my bachelors degree, one thing I was hoping I could possibly do was get published in a science fiction magazine of some sort.  So, I wrote what I thought was a story that would  pass an editorial board and submitted it to a few places.  On the list were Asimov's Magazine, the Sci-Fi Channel's website/e-zine at the time, and a few others that I've since forgotten over the years.  When the first attempt, which you're about to see, failed, I wrote something I thought would be better and tried again.  That attempt didn't work out any better for me, but at least I can say I tried, if nothing else.  I really wish I'd held onto the rejection letters a bit longer, just as mementos, but such was not the case.  More on that, and the other story, as well, may be forthcoming.

For now, though, here's my first attempt at getting something published: the ultra-short story "Schriver's Selves".

TEXT PLAY: Legend of Mana (PlayStation; 2000): Issue #14: Back To The Desert

And maybe Back To The Future, too?

Not For The Web

Not so long ago, I wrote about how some things never get past the first or second draft.

A Dilemma

I guess I should have seen this coming when I started.

TEXT PLAY SIDE GAME: Final Fantasy (NES 1990/PS 2003 [Origins]): Issue #4: A Pain In The Astos

This one was a while in coming, but it's worth the wait.

Plants...

Well, the bugs that eat them, really...

Video Games Are Still Popular, Huh?

So, video games are still popular things to talk about, huh?

TEXT PLAY: Legend of Mana (PlayStation; 2000): Issue #13: Ghostbusters, Fa'Diel Division

Seriously, though, who ya gonna call?

Doctor Sonic...?

Well, the Doctor does have a Sonic screwdriver, after all...

TEXT PLAY SIDE GAME: Final Fantasy (NES 1990/PS 2003 [Origins]): Issue #3: Pirates Of Pravoka

I know I should probably get on with Legend of Mana, but I want to do a Text Play post, and at this point in the night, I would do better to do something I'm familiar with instead.

The Good Thing About Drafts

There's a reason why I write them instead of doing direct-posting material.

More Bad Art For You

Because we all knew it had to come eventually.

Trying Something

This could get interesting, folks.

Slow Going

Still working, of course, but all the same...

TEXT PLAY SIDE GAME: Final Fantasy (NES 1990/PS 2003 [Origins]): Issue #2: Beating Garland

So, not anything like a similarly-titled Dire Straits song, but the title still works.

Bad Rotation...?

It's kind of understandable, though.

Stockpiling

I'm working on something of a slush pile of stuff to push out as need be.

TEXT PLAY: Legend of Mana (PlayStation; 2000): Issue #12: Fireworks Fireworks Fireworks

It would almost be cool if this dungeon were a Beetlejuice reference, but alas, it's not.

Random Word Number Eight

And nothing more.

TEXT PLAY SIDE GAME: Final Fantasy (NES 1990/PS 2003 [Origins]): Issue #1: Getting Started

Here's one I've been meaning to get to for awhile now, and since tonight's not a good night for Legend of Mana, now's as good a time as any, I suppose.
