Hmm, interesting. A nice twist on the idea of the Forerunners being human. I've always thought it was somewhat naive to think that the Forerunners let themselves live on in the ark, while the rest of all the universes and galaxies got wiped clean.

Were the Forerunners selfish enough that they let themselves live on, while every other species died out? Very interesting.

Maybe that wasn't their intent when/if they visited Earth. Maybe the flood outbreak bagen shortly afterwards?

re: mr_clark & Chaos Theory

I live in THE UK(!!), and preorder my games from play.com (UK company, similar to Amazon (but faster, with free delivery on everything ;)), and they posted my copy yesterday. So I guess that April 1st thing is up in the air.

Looking forward to Chapter 14, god I love this 'fic.

Are you going to talk more about Jan in the any of the
upcoming chapters Mr_ Clark? Don't hurry to get this next
chapter out, we can wait so that you can make it extra good, lol!
Anyways, just don't sacrifice the quality of the story to get it out
sooner.

I looked at all the gamestops near me and they all say march 29 for splinter cell. I am so tired from having to watch the midnight and 1:00 stargate finales so i hope chapter 14 doesnt come out to late today.

Terrible News

Oooookay, something rather horrible has occurred. As I mentioned in my previous post, there are is some major construction going on in my house this week. There also doing some foundation work, and I awoke today to discover that they must not be very good at their job.

They left a note on the door saying they had accidentally misread the layout, and dug too deep into the yard and they have cut the cable lines for my house. I'm at my buddies place right now, and unfortunately Chapter 14 is sitting on the desktop pc in my house, all finished and ready for distribution.

What happens now is I weep over the lack of cable/internet/live, and then you all weep over my not being able to post Chapter 14.

I've called the cable company, and they'll come by Monday and look over the situation.

This means no Chapter 14 until Tuesday at the earliest. I'm sorry guys, but aside from trying to fix the cable lines myself (the construction workers said that the electrical charge that went through the equipment was enough to melt the rubber on the handles of whatever tool thing they were using) and I don't think that would yield much results aside from my potential death.

I thought about rewriting the chapter, its stil somewhat fresh in my mind, but considering the size and scope of the entire thing, I just can't fathom myself writing it without somehow turning it into a weak shell of what it used to be.

So, once again sorry guys, this is a little out of my hands here.

Meanwhile, I'm hijacking my Xbox and living over at my buddies place for now. Hopefully random Timesplitters online matches will help ease the pain.

Its true that he does have a life, but really, Mr Clark, you could dissconnect your stack and take it over, with a car preferably, and plug it into your friends house, hooking it up with his monitor, and posting up the chapter. Of course this is totally at the Clarkmiester's discretion, but it would be a nice treat.

I would love for him to do that but it is pretty hard to do and with all this stuff occuring in his house i don't think him and his family has the issue of whether or not Chapter 14 comes out. no offence.

Ouch, that bites Mr. C, but I can live with it. I'd have to say we all stop feeling sorry for ourselves and just wait patiently for whenever Mr. C gets his cable stuff fixed. Like he said, its not his fault.

whoa! I feel your pain Mr_clark. I tried going a day without the internet or cable, it's not fun. Amazing how we have all become use to having it, when 7 years ago we didn't even care about it.

Take your time and take care of the more important stuff. We can wait. ... yeah, we can wait.... still waiting. LOL

On a side note, I'm eager to see your spin on the Grunts... hehe. And chapter 13 was good, it had a differnent feel to it then your other chapters. There was a lot of Cloak-and-Dagger type of stuff going on, and it was very cool. And is it me, or do the Prophets and ONI have a lot in common?

Man that sucks,

I havent been posting for a while but I can assure you ive been reading along for quite some time, its really great but I think a few too many stories going at once.

Thanks for the pm's, also if it did that much damage to the tool, are you sure your computer hasnt been damaged?

  • 03.26.2005 9:23 PM PDT

Everyone who continues complaining and suggesting Mr.Clark disconnect his computer just to post his story need to leave him alone. We are fortunate enough that Mr.Clark is taking time from his life to provide us with a fantastic story. Mr.Clark you have no reasont to apologize to the impatient people. I appreciate the fantastic story you are writing and hope you turn into a published novel.

...one can only hope not....

Well, let me clear a few things up.

I have literally been thrown out of my house. Were talking major construction going on, the fact that their working on a Saturday is proof enough of that ;)

At the moment I'm staying at a friends house downtown, who just has wi-fi in his house. Luckily he also has the wi-fi adapter for his xbox so I can still use mine, though the connection is slower than anything I've seen in a long time.

I was forced to move most of the precious commodities in my house into the garage while these guys are working, and I was a tad too harried to think that I might as well grab my tower and monitor and drag it to my buddies place. My folks are out of town and this is a tad large amount of responsibility placed on me, a kid who hasn't really down more than babysit my siblings a few times.

Soooo, don't crusify me too much over this. I'm rather bummed over the whole thing myself. Getting criticism and hearing what people think about my writing is what makes it all the more meaningful for a guy who puts so much of his free time into this kind of stuff. Chapter 14 is a risky venture on my part, and I'm practically slapping myself waiting to hear what people think, and now being forced to wait even longer I'm a tad worried I'll be rosy-cheeked for life.

For those that just can't wait, I dunno what to say. Head over to fanfiction.net and read some of the other Halo fanfiction on the site. Some of its pretty good, though you have do a bit of digging to find it.

JESUS dude its not that hard to carry a steel full sized tower and put it in a car and then hook it up when you get there. So easy i could do it in my sleep.(well. i might faall over if i tried that :) )


What the hell is the matter with you?

I can't even fathom how anyone would actually think to blame Mr. C over this, and yet here you are insulting him. I repeat, what the hell is wrong with you? The guy apologized twice now, yet you still feel the need to try and make him feel bad?

Have you ever made a mistake? The fact that Mr. C was willing to go online, and actually admit the mistake was amazing enough. Would you do that?

Geez, its people like you that make me wonder just how a guy like Mr. Clark is willing to put his hard work online. Thankless people that only care about when the new chapter is coming out.

i feel your pain Mr C, i had construction going on at my house last summer, i had to almost live in my garage watching DVD's the whole time, i even had to watch the Euro 2004 final with an aerial and crappy reception, it wasn't fun.

Don't worry about what people say, it's not your sole purpose in life to make fan fiction, so don't sweat it, release it when you want to, and (most) of the people on this forum will be cool about it.
