I go away for a few days, and all of sudden we have some... interesting comments occuring. Anyway, let's move on.

Nothing new to post as of yet. The title for stage 21 is still in limbo because I've only scibbled out about three paragraphs so far. But as I said earlier, this week will be pretty active for me and stage 21 won't be posted until early next week... at the earliest.

So in the meantime, run over to master Scorptanks thread... read it. Read it now! Chapter 16 of Alliances is posted and you will not be dissapointed. Awesomeness indeed.

*drools*

damn good stuff, um...damn good. I can't really think of what else to say though, and soulgaurd, if you could please respond to the next pm i send to you it would be greatly appreciated.

I have always wanted to see a particular fanfic written and I chose you as the guy to do it, because you have the skill and creativity to do it.

I will pm you the info once you respond to this post.

didnt really look like a joke too me... looked like he was trying to give me a nOObs handguide... and if thats the joke... i must have missed the punch line... but either way i dont really give a -blam!-.

You don't give a -blam-? Sure looks like it to me when I read this:
and wtf dude? write that -blam!- yourself man... do you REALLY thin ANYONEe would write something FOR you? your sad.
Anyway, I'll respond to this in kind, over the PM system, as I don't want to clog up soulguard's thread with our little flame war. So let's keep our discussion away from this place....

Oh my. Again, lets move on.

Brief Update
WrorstPirate, I'm flattered by your offer, and while a new project would be exciting and new I don't have much time to work on it. Once "If I Were Hero" is complete I'll be working on getting my Novel published. It's a none Halo related saga that crosses Fantasy and Sci-fi. Think King Arthur meets MechAssault... and you get a somewhat loose view of what I've been working on. Trully it is a monster of an endavour and I've been writing, re-writing and editing it for about three years now. My current Edit is going to be put towards my friends and associates for their feedback and evoluation before I send it to a publisher for approval. This will be my second attempt at publication and hopefully I will be able to tell the world..."That's my book!" So stay tuned for more info on that, but not until If I were your Hero is complete.

Speaking of If I were your Hero (IWYH), the ending has finally been scripted on paper, meaning I see exactly were I'm going to stop the story. So what does that mean?? Well, it means that I will stop the story in about 5-6 more chapters. Roughly 26 Stages. But there is more to the story that I can't seem to go into at this time.

For those of you that read, Stand, Five Feet High, IWYH will have the same premise. I really want IWYH to be more of a filler/behind the scene story arc. In so doing, IWYH will end at a very familiar point within the Halo Universe. I can hear the screams now...
"SOULGUARD, DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE US WITH A CLIFFHANGER!!! OR WE WILL SCALP YOU AND SACRIFICE YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD TO THE HALO GODS!!"
I won't make any promises, but I will do my best to close the story at a... good point.

However, that leads me to my first bit of exciting news. Let me be the first to say that IWYH will not be the conclusion of my fanfic. I can't go into details at this point, but I believe it was scorptank that first suggested a "Trilogy", and I must admit that the fan outcries, PMs included, for a continuing adventure of Palab (the Grunt Messiah) has swayed me.

However, I can not say if the story will continue Palab's adventures. For all you know he may die in the next chapter, so I can not say who or what the story will be for the concluding story, but I can say this. The third saga will not begin until
A) Halo Book 4 is released and more information is revealed.. or
B) Halo 3 is released and more information is revealed.

Now here is where you ALL come into play. A title... Seeing that this is a fanfic and may never become published, I thought it would be great to include you all in my endeavor to create the first Halo Side Story Trilogy. The overall Halo side story needs a title... a head title.
Currently "Stand, Five Feet High" would be considered Book 1of 3, and "If I Were Your Hero" would be Book 2 of 3. A title for the last book would come eventually, but I'd like for you all to suggest an overall title to be used on all three books. think of it as how the "Lord of the Rings" is a title, but each book has a name. A head title has a specific name and if anyone can think of what this is called, chime in, It can't think of it right now.

Chances are we will not see a 4th halo book this year and that means I have plenty of time to work on my Novel. So, drop those titles here on the thread or in a PM if you'd like to remain silent. And please, keep it serious, as I am taking the title VERY serious.

Now the second piece of news. Halo in 5.1 ROCKS! If anyone out there has yet to experience Halo 2 in digital 5.1 surround sound then you are missing a great deal of the adventure. Recently my quest to find a Monster 100x fiber optic cable was successful and quickly I connected it to my Monster HD Component cable system. I quickly attached the Fiber Optic cable to my RCA 500watt reciever and started Campaign... **DROOOL** the sound is so crisp, clear, and the SURROUNDING!! If you are using ProLogic, you are missing out. The good news is that the X360 will support 5.1 HD and fiber optic right out of the box, the bad thing is that you'll have to wait. But if you're willing to spend $40 (USA) on on playing Halo 2 in the best possible way, then do it. Search online for Monster XBOX HD cables and the Monster Fiber Optic 100x cable.

Here is an example of what the experience was like for me last night:

Delta Halo. Legendary.
We crash on Halo and I charged toward the stationary Plasma turret (Shades) at the top of the hill. Behind me I could HEAR all 3 ODST openning up on the grunts and Jackals. I ran ahead, suicidal, and killed two grunts. I turned around to see if my ODST were still alive... then Behind Me came the ROAR of an elite. SERIOUSLY, It scared the HELL out of me.
"RAARRRRRHHHH I have slain the demon, the Prophets will reward me well!"
That was all I heard from my rear speakers, I jumped from my chair, terrified that an elite was actually standing there. Thankfully, he wasn't. lol.

Normally I play Halo 2 more cautiously, but I was only testing it.

I ran around my apartment for ten minutes, happy beyond all belief, at how well 5.1 puts you into the game!!! You have not played Halo 2 until you have played it in REAL Dolby Digital 5.1, and that can only be achieved through Fiber Optic or Coaxial connections.

Sorry for the length, but I had to share. More info soon.

Prowlaz, please. This thread is about Soulguard's remarkable work, not about your exploits with women.

Soulguard, your last chapter was excellent, I'm looking forward to the post next week. I really like this idea you've got going for a trilogy. I think it would fly pretty well with the solid work you've done so far. Heh, guess we'll have a fairly long wait since Halo 3 won't be out for another year. ;) I look forward to your future writing, though. In the meantime, I can't wait to see how you will wrap up (and possibly leave open) IIWYH.

Prowlaz, how come you take everything so seriously?
This is not meant for flame, but it really seems that If there is someone with diffenrent opinion or something that hasn't do anything with you, you seem to feel offended.

I'm not talking about only SG's topic but multiple topics here in B.net.


PM your answer.

Commander Watson: As of right now, possible Tuesday or Friday next week. I was a lot more active this week then I thought I would be... and everybody wanted my attention, not that I mind. So far I've typed up eight pages of work, but I have yet to deal with the major point of Stage 21, so I still have a lot of work to do. But for those of you looking for something NEW to read...

Check out, "The War Through A Soldiers Eyes". It's good, damn good. And it is a side story to IIWYH. Thanks go out to MC Spartan for expanding my fanfic!!!

Read it here-->> http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=3393299 and leave comments letting him know what you think.

CW I think he said sometime early next week, so very soon. Great news, soul, but we won't get to see the end of the saga for quite awhile, what with Halo 3 not even officially announced and all. Exciting news indeed, make it a great title, though, you have probably at least a year and a half to think about it. Something chatchy, like Halo: warthog confessions, or barely legal grunts, or something like that :) Good luck!
Oh no not another fanfic I just have to read ;)

Stop. you're making me blush. kidding aside. Thanks man, but my story isn't as good as yours though. I'm only 17 and a junior in high school. I stiil have a lot to learn to be able to write like you do.

P.S. Can't wait for you next chapter man. The fate of Eric and the others are in your hands.

No problem, MCSpartan.

As for the status of chapter 21... uhhh... yeah, as I thought would happen I didn't get any work done. Still stuck on 8 pages and may not have time to work on it tonight. In fact I'll just simply say that no work will get done tonight. This weekend was awesome and my personal life has expanded greatly. But I was too hungover to really work on the story.

What can say is that it will be up on Friday. Sorry for the delay but you'll be really happy with the wait.

Chapter 21 is going to be insane. I'm a little worried that I might be taking it overboard as to the amount of chaotic events that will happen. Some of it will be expected, some of it will not, and a familiar face will return in the openning scene. It was fun bringing back this character, but this character is no longer the same. Let's just say that 4 months can really change someone. Some of you cleaver readers may guess as to whom this character may be, here's a hint: We last saw this person on the Rogue Fantasy, but now that the Rogue Fantasy is on Jogrennilee, this character is know where to be found.

This character isn't a huge deal, but this character will mean a MASSIVE change in the story during chapter 23.

GOD I LOVE FORESHADOWING!!! Think of it this way. We have Dr. Halsey, mother of the Spartan II's, we have Dr. Roselyn "Rose" Santos, one of the chief engineers on the MJOLNIR Mark V and VI program. But still, someone is missing. I'm really excited about the future of this story... more excited now then you could possibly believe.

Stay tuned. And continue to send me Story title ideas, or post them here in the thread.

Next Chapter, Character from Rouge Fantacy.

Well, its not Ackerson, cause he was not on the ship.

I don't think it is the Captain, Ms. Monroe.

But there is one other "Lady" that is missing. Perhaps she will be making her entrance at a level that her own name suggests... an entrance that will be very LOUD!

- looking forward to it Soul!

"totally cortana " - uhm, I think you might have got your A.I. Mixed up, but you caught my drift.

I am guessing Soulgaurd's quietness something to do 1. working madly to complete the next chap + #2. We guessed well (and searched every chapter with CTRL-F for keywords).

We will see, we will see.
