I love the mystery behind the Elites, and how much they Mirror "Predators" (the exception being that Predators are hunters while Elites are Warriors (fighters with a cause) ). Perhaps there are Female warrior sects within the Elites and stuff like that. So mysterious.


Yeah, it would be really cool know how their social lives are built up.

I'm sorry to ask this Mr_C, I know you're probably too busy, but have you read my little prologue yet? I'm not sure if you know it but I've sent it in a PM.
I wanted to ask you this before in a PM but PM'ing you did not seem a very good idea since you're receiving so many already.


I was planning on getting around to a lot of reading lately. I've got quite a bit to catch up on. Reapers new chapter, yours, and a fair bit on fanfiction.net. I will get around to it though, but for now I've got a few things to take care of.

In regards to Chapter 13, I'm getting a general outline for it. I think it'll be pretty good, maybe not as effective as Chapter 12 was, but an overall good chapter nonetheless.

For those hating this look into the past, it'll be over soon. Chapter 14 will mark the end of this ark.

But really, I rather liked Chapter 12. Aki Forlumee was a compelling character. Then again my opinion is somewhat tainted, seeing as how I wrote him from scratch.

Well M.C. I am extremely impressed, your talent does exceed Nylund, and in a few years, you may be on your way to Stephen King.

I personaly love the Arbiter and the Shangeilie, so anything you say about them I would love to hear, but the taming of the Lekgolo would be nice to, seeing how they respect the Shangeilie for them being honorable warriors much like themselves. Thats probably why they chose to fight along side them instead of the low unworthy brutes. Well M.C. you keep writing , and we will keep reading. I hope your having as much fun writing this as we are reading this. Adeu

you have so gotta do the grunt rebellion - can you imagine the slaughter? i realy dont see why an arbiter was needed then, doesnt truth say they only come forward at times of great peril or something - grunts? peril? we've all seen the cut-scene at the beginning of gravemind - those grunts get diced by those honour guards. anyway i digress, the point is, if you did do the grunt rebellion, although thats not an age in itself, it would be freakin hilarious

as usual, awesome work, hangin on your words throughout, even though it did suck that 'Fulsamee died - he was cool (suck as in a shame, not suck as in the writing sucked)

incidentally are all the prophets called the prophet or ... whatever (truth, mercy, supposition etc) coz if so then thats a whole loada noble characteristics theyll have had to come up with - do you reckn they were diggin deep in the thesaurus by the end of the 3rd age of reclamation?

I agree that Mr. C's probably on par with the other Halo novels.

But I can't help but wonder if he's working on some other original stuff. I know Bungie's probably aware of this thread by now, but I can't really see them coming to him asking to write the next line of Halo books.

So how 'bout it Mr_Clark? What other stories are working around in that big unfathomable mind of yours?

Hmm, other novels you say?

In truth, I am writing an original novel right now, though its still kind of early on. I can't divulge any details, as I really need the premise and ideas in it to stay secretive, since this will hopefully be my flagship into the world of published writing.

Hopefully I can finish it before the end of this year, and get a publisher to accept it. Perhaps it'll save me the trouble of having to go to university, cause I really want to avoid that for as long as possible. If I'm lucky I'll be able to avoid it forever, cause in reality, the only school thing I've ever been good at is English. Well, that and Japanese.

Anyways, yes, I am writing an original work, that will hopefully be finished by the end of this year and then accepted by a very generous publisher.

Ahh so when this is written, I can say I know a famous author. Your going to be famous M.C. I cant wait to go to the book store and see a whole wall of great novels, written by you. Good Luck on being famous M.C. If you ever need a hand with all of this, not that you would, but if you did, than remember all of us here.

I read somewhere that the hunters were not beaten fairly. They had to surrender because of orbital bombardment. They were winning all encounters on the ground, but they couldn't stopthose capital ships firing down on them with their shields, you know. And as to grunts not being dangerous: I wish I had a quarter for everytime a grunt nailed me with a plasma grenade. They are extremmelly deadly with those grenades. And in mass numbers, they are tough to beat.

and there just so cute.

But im aware there cuteness is just a trick to lure you into a trap. But da*nit there just so cute.
Anyways, it would probably be hard to do something like the grunts history because not much is known about them. The species spoken about the most is the elites (sangheili, i think is how you spell it) and the prophets.. But it would be funny.

And there just so cute.
But keep up the good work MC, i hope u do get ur novels published some day.

Agh, I hate to double-post here, but I got a favor to ask you guys.

I got a couple reviews on fanfiction.net from people that had no idea what Chapter 12 was about, and wanted me to explain. Unfortunately, my ability to respond is extremely limited, seeing as how the person did an anonymous review. I hate reviewing my own story just to respond to people.

So, here's where you guys come in.

If one of you guys could maybe follow the link in my sig, and review it, and tell the person that they should look at my Author's Notes (if you could do it nicely that'd be great).

A big inconvenience?

Certainly, but I'll sweeten the deal for whichever one of you is nice enough to do this. If you can do this for me, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you Chapter 13 before anyone else gets to read it.

Am I being really pathetic here?

......probably

Hmm, next chapter eh?

I don't want to put down an actual date just yet, but I can ballpark it and say most likely by the end of this week. I've run into a few things that are making it longer to write.

One is I finally took the plunge and bought Donkey Konga and two sets of bongo's. Yes, my friends and I look ridiculous playing it, but it is crazy fun.

So, for those that just stop by to check for updates, then come back Saturday or Sunday, where Chapter 13 will most likely be up.

Yay! New chapter coming up!

I'm guessing this one will be about the integration of the other species (can't remember what age that is though).
