The Moss Stomperhide bio
 Author has written 23 stories for Final Fantasy VII. Stompy like moss. Stompy like moss a lot. Well, since some of you actually stop by here from time to time, I should probably add a few more lines to my introduction. Games are what brought me here. Computer games, console games, board games, card games... I've been playing and enjoying them since I was the tiniest of stompers. I'm fairly new to fanfiction, though, and even more of a beginner when it comes to writing my own. So, if you've got opinions to share about my stories, I'd be more than happy to hear them. Questions, ideas, suggestions, constructive criticism, praise (worth a try, haha) or just a wee chat with a fellow fan; it's all welcome, so don't be shy about sending a PM. Or you can tumble over to my tumblr page () and ask there. Whichever you please. This is also where I post the occasional drawing related to FF7 and/or my stories. Not all my stories are directly connected, but most of them can be thought of as moments along a single timeline. If you'd like to read them in chronological order, this is how they line up, more or less.
"The Cake Was Gone and Other Tales" is a collection of stories Reno tells at various points in time. Is "Stiff Surprise" a part of this timeline or not? I'll let you be the judge of that, hah. |

Pregame. You'd be amazed, the things you never knew about people. Elena likes horror, Rude has a sweet tooth, and Reno, well, Reno is a rather cunning linguist who speaks Northern Wutai like a native.

Psych Eval by Desha reviews
This is my take on what Reno would be like if the Turks had to undergo regular psych evaluations. He's always struck me as the type that has a lot on his mind but doesn't like to share. And I figure the evaluation itself wouldn't matter, since, after all, they're the Turks. Who's gonna fire them for being a little unbalanced? Language warning, because Reno curses to himself a lot.

Wildcard by LadyKF reviews
ShinRa Inc. doesn't have a place for good men in their inner workings and Veld isn't the gambling sort, but when a wildcard places itself in your hand you'd be a fool not to keep it just in case.
