You forgot to PM me man.............Friggin awesome chapter tho.


Ah hell, sorry. I had about 36 PM's set up, and I closed one of the windows too soon. I thought I sent all the ones in there but I guess not. Sorry buddy.

Sorry to everyone else that didn't get one, it wasn't intentional, I'll have a much better system in place for Chapter 8, trust me. Well okay don't trust me, I'm not very dependable when it comes to that stuff, but still, I will definitely give it a conscious attempt to do it.

Edit: The hell? My avators switched? Does anyone know if this is some kinda side effect to the upgrades going on?

Sorry to double-post here but, before I head off, I'd just like to ask anybody that requested a PM and didn't get one to tell me, so I can see just how many I missed and therefore, how much faster I should get chapter 8 out as an act of attrition.

i got my pm, but how many did you say you sent out? 36? i think its a litte understandable if you missed a couple, but hey, if you want to punish yourself by putting chapter 8 out faster than by all means do so.

Sorry, I nearly had a heart attack when I read this.

Master Chief will never fall in love in this story, trust me. Nobody's getting any action in this novel.

Quite alright, I won't be dying just yet.

As for Chapter 8's status, its in limbo right now, because I have to gauge just how badly I screwed up on the PM notifications for Chapter 7, which judging from the amount of people that have replied and the PM's I received, is a lot.

I'll put the tentative release for Thursday, but expect it to jump ahead to Wednesday seeing as how once people start getting around to informing me on the total number of missed PM's, I'll feel absolutely horrible and to redeem myself I'll release it earlier.

Dont rush it.
You might end up sacrificing the quality to please the masses.Take as long as you need to craft an excellent story.

No need to worry about me rushing a chapter. I usually put a lot of thought into them before I write them, though after looking over chapter 7 a couple times I'm starting to think it sucks somewhat. The Johnson scene is choppy, and the stuff with Chief and Jan is, well, kinda dull.

Anyways, redemption is my goal for chapter 8, so look forward to it with hopeful anticipation.

Also, I'm at about 25,000 words, and 50 pages, that's pretty remarkable in only a short 3 months. I guess I am getting better at this writing thing.

Yeah great job, your stories are way better then brilliants, more action and insight. Like i said before though its "amber cloud", not "amber clad"

Thanks once again everyone.

Just a side-note to RedWolf:

It actually is In Amber Clad

There are many references to it in the game and there's even a song title on the soundtrack by the same name.

clark, your story here is far and above the best piece of halo fanfiction, not just on this site, anywhere.

another awesome thing about this thread is, there isn't so much of the stupid petty fighting that goes on in the other threads. guess that's cause there's hardly anything you can fault with this story.

I hate fan fiction. i read this whole thing just to critizes you, but you know what. I love your story. I would not be suprised if bungie hired you to write the next novel. Man sorry i ever doubted you. i was Expecting some "keyes falls in love with the master cheif and become the king and queen of the covenate type thing." but good work and keep them coming
