great chapter thought it wasn't much of a surprise that Gravemind survived.


But just how he survived will be, heh heh heh. Of course I can't reveal those details just yet though.

I am pretty excited over the next few chapters I'll be writing. Just to prepare you guys I'll let you in on a secret. They're going to be big, real big. So big your eyes will explode from reading them,

I share pies.

The chapter leads to something and we all can see that.....but what is it?
Thanks for the PM Mr C....Great story.............

I shall cut into 343 Industries Headquarters, retrieve the Halo Bible and burn any 343 Industries employee that stands in my way.

Grand Hierarch of the Covenant Elite Community!

Nice long chapter.

oooooooo, that was seriously awesome - rock on you crazy fool! (in a complimentary way though) dammit! its long but not long enough - you shouldve written it all then released it in one huge orgy of fanfic - then we wouldnt be tearing our teeth out waiting! i think im seeing where youre taking this, but theres 2 possiblities i can see, one funky and good, adn the other harrowing and nasty. but i wont say what im thinking coz its prob wrong and stupid and ill look a fool - always remeber, its better to keep your mouth closed and be considered a fool than to open your mouth and prove it, but whatever, im happy with being a fool so MORE!





please

This was really great!
I tried to write a book as well but I gave up because I couldn't get the characters to evolve.
You did what I could not.
Seriously, this is great!
Looking forward to chapter 12!

Thanks for the PM by the way.

Mr_Clark,

Thanks for the PM. I've been out of town for a few days and just now read you latest chapter. Excellent work by the way. Got a hunch about where you might be heading with the next installement. Either way, I'm sure it will be great. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks - LE

Just a side-note. I've edited my first post. I ran out of characters so I had to take out the lazy-links and just put simple text.

Also, here's a site you guys can look at while I get stuff sorted out so I can start Chapter 12. This is where I scrounge up most of the technical stuff for the story. Its quite an interesting site.

Wow.....................I can't think of anything to say. That was brilliant, fantastic, superb, amazing, Incredible and so much more.

Good thinking of putting Colonel Ackerson In there. I also liked how you were showing what the Arbiter was thinking about. Especially when he thinks -
"I wonder if the Demon has ever been subjected to this."
Very nice.

Your keeping us guessing over what your doing with the next few chapters Mr. C, and I both love it, and despise it. Enjoy your break, but once its over get Chapter 12 out as soon as humanly possible!

[color=red] Important Information! [/color]

I'm just going to address a few PM's and questions that I've been getting a lot lately. Most of this I've said throughout a few various posts, but oh well, I'll reiterate for now.

Length of 'The End of a War'

Truthfully, I never expected this story to get as big as it has. I was aiming around 13-14 chapters, ending in an average climatic finish. Things have changed however, and as is the norm with me, this story has ballooned and is looking to be quite lengthy. Right now I'm anticipating this story to run anywhere from 21-23 chapters, and a little over 100,000 words. Typical novel length I'd say, but if you've checked some of my other stuff on fanfiction.net, you'll see some of my stories have hit the 35 chapter mark, and almost 200,000 words. I don't think even I could make this story last that long and still be believable, but hey, its an option we'll all have to look out for.

The Release Date of Chapter 12

.......yeah

Well, I've written a fair bit in these last few weeks, and I wanted to take a little break. Brothers in Arms comes out tomorrow and I'll be picking it up. The break won't be too long though, so don't start yelling at me just yet. I'll get back to writing later in the week, probably around Thursday. A normal chapter of mine would be completed for Sunday, but Chapter 12 is going to be different so it might take me an entire week to write. It'll be worth the wait however, I swear to all of you.

Just How Did you Learn to Write as Well as you Do?

Normal modesty of mine would make me say something along the lines of 'Oh no, I'm not a good writer, I'm somewhat average I think.', but since this is a question I get a lot, I figure I might as well get down to the barebones.

Practise, practise, practise, practise, practise, and more practise.

It sounds dull, but its true. Read some of my old stuff on fanfiction.net, that's the kind of stuff I used to write. Sure its not necessarily terrible, but its not anything I particularily would want to read for very long. I wrote that stuff when I was young, that's true, and over the years, with continuous writing, I've become a respectable writer. I still have a few problems however, sentence structure occasionally is a problem, and I really need to learn how to edit my writing.

I want to be an author, that's why I'm also writing original pieces of writing I'll send off to a publisher when I've finished it and fine-tuned it.

So for those of you that also enjoy writing, but feel your stuff is sub-par or just doesn't look good enough, just edit the hell out of it. If its original work throw it up on this site or if you've done fanfiction on just about anything, video games, books, comics, anime, manga, then go to this site and put it up on there.

Why Didn't you Respond to My PM? You Big Dumb Jerk!

Yeah I've gotten a few of these.

Honestly, if you ask a question in a PM, I'll answer it. Either in another PM sent to you, or if I think it pertains to the story itself, like this big post, I'll come post it in the thread itself.

I read all my PM's though, so even if your messaging me to just say thanks for the PM, I'll see it.




...There, I think that about covers everything. Thanks once again everybody, you guys are awesome.

Hmm, 100,000 words you say? We've just hit the 40,000 word mark, so that means this story isn't even half-over yet?

That bit of news just brightened my day.
