I've got a general outline of Chapter 22, I think I mentioned this before. As such I feel like now would be a good time to go over that list of terms that will be given fleshing out in this chapter.
Like I said before, this chapter is going to nearly completely expose my Forerunner theory, and I think some of the subsequent events are really going to be enjoyable to you guys. I really do think this chapter will be the end of all chapters, and will be matched by nothing except maybe the final chapter (not including the lone epilogue I have planned). That's in regards to this story though, so don't go thinking I've suddenly declared war on every other fanfic.
If you still want to submit one of your own theories about what the truth behind the Forerunners truly is, now is the time to do so, because once this chapter is released there will be no more speculation (well, maybe a tiny bit) and we can all sit back and either decide if I'm a genius or insane. Maybe a little of both.
Every single item on that list of terms I gave you guys quite awhile ago will be showcased in this coming chapter. You've already heard both Dr. Halsey and the Forerunner A.I mention the Sanctuary. That's just the tip of the iceburg....
I really think what I need to do is talk with someone about my theories outright, no dancing around the subject, and its because of that, that I've invited several friends over to watch Advent Children. Once they're here I'll blindside them with Halo theology. I actually have graphs, charts, and documentation made up of this stuff. I'm truly a freak.
Absolutely no time frame for when this chapter could be done. I'm thinking now that before I reach the conclusion I'll decide to split the chapter into two sections, ensuring that I don't take two months to write the whole thing. I'm trying not to do that though, I really want the chapter to be a complete thing, but even then I realize it's size is going to be more than likely double that of Chapter 18. Which was nearly 20,000 words. That's a big chapter, double that and you get a small novel right there, in just one chapter.
Not sure what I'll end up doing, but rest assured this story is never far from my mind, in fact I think it occupies a little too much of my mind. Yesterday I walked into a stop sign. Coincidence? Well no not really, I'm pretty much a stupid klutz.
