Rant: Urban fantasy that never ends!
Obviously, everybody loves a successful character, and successful series will generally continue until they cease being successful, but I've been noticing a distinct trend lately in the subgenre of books that can be called "urban fantasy"--by which I mean that just-sliding-out-of-romance s...

Re: Fanfiction -- Lunar: Crimson Hope (16 chapters as of 2/21)
This chapter introduces my favorite character in the story. I've always enjoyed the characters like Danilo Thann in Elaine Cunningham's Forgotten Realms books ( Elfshadow , etc.) and Sir Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel , who act like a dandified fop, a butterfly of high society, and conceal ...

Re: Change music
Nope. There are games where I do this (I can't play anything from Expose's self-titled album without immediately thinking of Phantasy Star III due to one epic eight-hour gaming session on the day I got the CD for that precise reason), but Lunar isn't one of them. Except I have been known to mute the...

Re: postponing my crazy cat-lady plans
So since you're getting married on Leap Day, will you be celebrating your anniversary next year on February 28th or March 1st? hey! why would anyone not have it the day before or the day after? why would someone want that complication? Incidentally, the law considers the anniversary of February 29 ...

Re: [Fanfic] Morhault's Fall
Two weeks down, and we're two-thirds of the way there. It strikes me, after reviewing the battle scene, that Vane is being stingy with its magicians. As it should be.

I'm in favor of new member threads. Makes it easier to lock targeting sights...er, give them cookies, yeah, that's it!

Re: Who's your favorite?
Oh, of course. But the funny thing about Square, at least, is that they design their English names first, it seems, complete with last names, so that does sort of make them the authoritative ones, whether one likes it in English or not. I wouldn't dare to change a character's name in a book I was t...

Re: Who's your favorite?
Jessica wasn't in EB. Pfft... you just don't know the correct code. It's the same one that you use to bring Aeris (My first instinct was to spell that with a -th. Must fight instinct!) back to life. Actually, Square finally woke up and remembered that it was supposed to be a -th in its more recent ...

Good music news for us old-schoolers!

Re: Favorite Character Of SSSC or EBC
You should totally read Darrell's (DezoPenguin's) short fics about Leo posted up at the Shrine. At least, I assume they're posted there. I should go find out; it's been some years now since I read them. At last check, they're hiding in under the general header of "Message Board Madness" i...

You misspelled "great" as its homonym, "grate." B_G posted a picture of a cheese grater.

Mind you, this was eight and a half years ago, but I threw the garter at my wedding (and had fun taking it off Lynne's leg, too. ).

[Fanfic] Morhault's Fall--now complete!
In the next few "off" weeks (since Crimson Hope updates every other week), I'll be presenting this side-story. Morhault told Edric, Elia, and Tabren the story of his fall from the Lion Knights of Ilan in Crimson Hope chapter 8, but here is the entire tale in depth. I hope the eight of you ...

Re: Final Fantasy or Lunar?
Lunar for me, though I have to agree that it isn't really a fair comparison given the fact that each FF game is essentially its own subfranchise for which everyone will have high and low points (for example, if FFVII and its assorted spinoffs were put up against Lunar, I'd have a much more difficult...

Re: Still more recent Lunar sightings
Luna put in an appearance by reference today in my life. I was reading Atelier Marie and Elie vol. 1 and in a flashback scene the child Elie mistakes Marie for the Goddess of Healing...Lady Althena. (Lemina says she'll represent the Goddess in court for the standard contingency fee plus retainer...)
