MasterRabbink Thank you for the info! I really hope other authors are aware of this.
I'd like to announce that my original work Gaia Online was entered into the writing prompts contest number 3, two days ago. Please read on, or click on the cover to go to the book's dedicated page.

Synopsis
In the future, mixed reality and advanced AI is everywhere. A new invention FuSe, promises to take virtual worlds to a new level: Total immersion. The device, however, has a fatal flow. It tends to kill its users.
Blake Wilson is one of many illegal test subjects. He and others must spend a year attached to FuSe, mainly in Gaia Online, a virtual reality MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy world.
Among the test subjects, some seek fame, some seek wealth, some seek adventure, some seek escape, and some even seek visceral violence. Blake seeks none of that. Blake is a broken man who seeks salvation, either in life, or in death.
It turns out, not everything is what it seems. Gaia Online has two faces, and there are fates much worse than a broken man.
