My story about Vivi from FFIX came out from Cartridge Lit last week, which has to be the coolest idea for a magazine ever. Literature influenced and about videogames. It’s perfect.
The story’s called The Song of the Black Mages and is the first of many stories I’ve written/am writing about Vivi that takes place between the last battle of FFIX and its ending cinematic. I hope you dig it.
Over at Entropy I have a few things going on as well.
Short Film of the Week: On Your Mark by Hayao Miyazaki
Short Film of the Week: Red by Jorge Jaramillo & Carlo Guillot
Sunday Entropy List: Favorite Animated Films
Editors’ List: Favorite Books Translated into English
And then I’ll also just remind people that Girl with Ears & Demon with Limp is only a dollar and Twilight of the Wolves is only three, so go out and get them! They take place in the same world and are amongst my best writing, I think.
Oh, also, go buy Green Lights by Kyle Muntz! Read a review at HTMLGiant.
And since we’re talking about books released, a whole load of them were just released by Lazy Fascist Press, which means all kinds of awesome. Pay special attention to Michael J Seidlinger and Brian Allen Carr.
