Uberdawg, there are 3 more planned stages and then (after/if Halo 3 is released) I will complete the trilogy with one final adventure. But the third books is many days away.
Worstpirateeva, were you addressing me or someone else? No matter really.
Stage 24 Update Picking up where the last stage dropped off things will push on with our heroes in dier straits, there is also a very quick flashback to something... grand, as we try to wonder if history will repeat itself. No worries, no more questions, just straight answers... answers, and action... answers, actions, and a$$ kicking.
Changes: With any first draft there are usually changes within the story. Sometimes these changes don't happen until the very last chapter... and usually before anyone sees the story. Since this is a fanfic and I was working from my notes and a very rough outline, I'm starting to see where I went wrong. The question is, should I share that error, or save it for the final draft? And yeah, I'm going to save it for the final draft.
What that means is that a lot of things that have been 'said' will be corrected after the final stage. Then I will release a downloadable version of the book with all the edits, corrections, and extras. So yes, you will have some questions not answered in the next 3 stages, but mostly everything will.
But soulguard, why did you post the story with errors? Good question. This fanfic had a definite storyline that I wanted to stick to, however, I was writing and posting each chapter as the story progressed. This means that any "plot" errors might slip through. When writing, it is usually a good idea to have a rough draft of the completed work, this is made much simpilar now in the digital age, unlike when writers only had typewriters. It is much more simple to go back after the completed story and say, "oh wait, Jack was not really jumping a candle stick, it was a metaphor." You are all the lucky ones for this particular endavor, because you are seeing a story being created from scratch, but you are also going to have to deal with all the typos, missed plot points, and errors in the characters. (Such as Kim suddenly becoming Melanies Younger sister, and then back to older sister).
Okay Soulguard, what if I don't want to read your story "AGAIN" to get the better version? Another good question. I can't make you all read this 400+ pages over again, especially since you know how it ends. But, there will be some new additions to the story and not to mention that I can clearlify some of the more confusing plot points. As I said, this is simply the first draft. If you read it again, you will get a lot more out of it... and plus you'll be able to read it without interruptions.
So for now, stay tuned. Stage 24 will be here friday to releave the stress that was left after stage 23. lol.
More soon
