I wish somebody would write a fanfic that some machinema dude could turn into a fanfic movie. That'd be swank!

Gotta love that self-deprecating humor of clark's there. Bad enough.... yeh, mmm-kay. That’s why you got's like twenty bizillion pm's and post pleading for the next chapter in your "bad enough" story :P Bwah ha ha ha ha -hack ... cough--- ha....

So seriously, how bad would it suck if Clark like got a girlfriend or some other distraction and leaves off without ending... that would blow worse then the ending of Halo 2 for Buddha’s sake.
Chap. 20 ... for the love of buddy hacket, release it already!
Yeah yeah I know, when he's ready. But you know he's got to love a bunch of idjut's pleading for more more more

Not quite taking a break, but almost. I did read your PM, and since a lot of your questions were the same as the other PM's I had been getting, I just took the most common questions and put them in a big FAQ type thingy on page 106.

As for Chapter 20, I'm thinking I might be able to release it on Monday. I really really really want to have it all wrapped up by then. Mostly because I'm nearing the month-long mark that I promised myself, and you guys, that I wouldn't hit.

I should confide in you all though, a little fact that might scare you, but one that I feel needs to be shared.

When I write a story, the last few chapters always, always take me forever to write. My stuff on fanfiction.net? One of the stories, Until the End, the final chapter (not the epilogue) took me two and a half months to write. Balance of Power? Three months.

That should tell you something. All though I can almost guarantee that I won't take that long for this story, but just to let you know, the possibility is there however remote it may be.

There's a few reasons why I always take forever to write the final bits in my writings. First off, I want them to be near-perfect. There has to be no stone unturned, no plot piece left unfulfilled, and no scene not done to such a fine degree of detail that it shines.

Another reason I think is that I am almost always afraid to tackle the final chapters. I look at them like these big daunting tasks, hurdles if you will, and I am supposed to leap over them with ease. Instead I struggle to pull myself up and over each one, whimpering all the while like an infant.

The final reason I would have to say is that I'm always sad to see a story end. I think this stems from my own personal problem of always never being satisfied with how a story ends. I'm always left sitting there thinking, "Well, what happens next?" "Did (Character A) accomplish what he wanted to do?"

Its a personal quirk, but one that lets me so unabashedly work on fanfiction all the time. I just know later on when I'm writing my own stories from my very own created universe's that I'm going to have to fight hard with myself to limit the size of my novels cause I'll be so intent on keeping the story going it'll surpass the 1000 page mark in a flash.

Ugh, I had a question I wanted to address but I'm exhausted. Hopefully I can get back here before work and post the rest.

Should you be interested, the webaddres is in my sig.

cool, sounds good to me. And dont worry about the long wait for the last chapter. As long as the quality is good then it shouldnt matter how long the wait is.

i remember back before halo 2 came out i read a bunch of fan fics. but the best one i read had great description and plenty of violence. this one focuses more on the object ahead and stead of what just happened. not very often do you describe in gritty detail of the things that die. like when a jackals get torn in half by bullets, you never really say that blood flew everyware staining the walls and floor near it. its those little things that make me like your story.

but how the hell would those spartans survive the exploisions on the multa and the athens? especially when the spartan joshua got killed by a banshee. and those two stations were too close to earth for them not to get sucked in and killed by reentry.

Ok I read the questions, but you didn't directly answer my question of the Spartan's armor color. For example, are they all green like Spartan 117's is?

Yes, all Spartans have olive green armour.

Well, I suppose it's your choice, and it does sound like logic to me.

Oh, psh. So when HE says it you agree? I see how it is....

*scoffs

;)


Well... it would be kinda hard to start a discussion with Mr_C on how he should write his own fanfic, wouldn't it? ;-)

halo2stu, how do u know fred and kelly had red armour. i dont remember reading it anywhere. and its just a fan fic, it shouldnt matter how they survived as long as they did. hell they are spartans not just normal marines. dont u remember in one of the novels when the spartans were in the pelican and the pelican was gona crash or sumtin so they had to jump off the pelican while it was still high in the air. some of the spartans survived that, how cant they survive this.

Although I believe you thought up this idea with good intentions, I don't believe that this is a good idea. There have been countless requests by Mr. Clark to keep off topic discussions to a minimum. Your help in this endeavor is greatly appreciated. Thanks - LE
