One of the greatest movies of all time was Ghostbusters. It was followed up with one of the greatest cartoons of all time, The Real Ghostbusters (one of the most successful Movie-to-TV translations EVER). The mix of comedy, horror, and weird science was white-hot in the Eighties, and still maintains a loyal fan following to this day!!!

Way back in the early days of 2004, Jeremy Hicks of the Ghostbusters West Coast came up with an idea: his last name, Hicks, derives from "Hyksos"--the ancient people who once conquered Egypt and, in the Ghostbusters Universe, are mentioned as worshippers of Gozer. So what would happen if Jeremy Hicks was posessessed by Vinz Clortho?

With the movie's twentieth anniversary looming, it snowballed into the inspiration for a massive event crossing over the original Ghostbusters, the Extreme Ghostbusters, the Ghostbusters West Coast, the Ghostbusters UK, Ghostbusters Nightsquad, and Ghostbusters: Arcane Divisio; a crisis large enough to justify that big a roster and celebrate the movie's twentieth anniversary.

Chronicles of Gozer

Despite a strong start, the development started to plod along; it took a year to release five chapters, and the sixth was missing in action for much longer.

Well, today, the wait is over.

It may not be worth the three years it took, but on the other hand, I think it's worth a read. It's a story we took our time to make sure it was right instead of crapping it out just to get it done.

Today, I announce the one hundredth story in the Ectozone fan fiction saga.

Ghostbusters: Chronicles of Gozer Book Five: Exaltation
By Various Authors; Edited by Vincent Belmont
June 2004--Timeline Year Twenty Two
The epic conclusion. Ghostbusters International, the Order of Hermes, and the Garou nation stand united against the impending return of Gozer. An alliance the likes of which the world has not seen in untold ages. Secrets are revealed, enemies become allies, and desperate plans are made as science, magic, primal might, and faith march against the ancient horror of the Shapeless Destructor. But is it enough?

One of those "secrets", by the way, is one mystery that has been lingering since the release of "Future Shocks" five years ago: the identity of Eric Stantz's mother, the woman that Ray Stantz married. Now you will know...

And that's not the only thing.

But you'll have to read it for yourself.
