Sunk, more or less in Navy terms. Sunk sounds less final, as Destroyed seems brutal, in warfare. Often soldiers try to avoid saying finite words like Killed, sniped, or even blown up... Sunk, is my way of saying a Naval craft is no longer afloat, even in space battles. No real reason, but I just like how it sounds.

sunk sounds less final??

a sunken ship in navy terms is a destroyed ship so how can it be less final if you want a temporary word say disabled or incapacitated but a less final word means its still intact, just

Okay, what I was getting at is that it is a ittle less brutal. More of an honorable death in battle, sort of thing, for a ship that is. It just sounds nice, and hopefully people understand its meaning. And I tend to overuse Destroyed.

BTW: New Mirratod should be up sometime today in the Mirratord Forum.

yeah but think, destroyed implies quick death sunk implies drowning most Navymen i know prefer destroyed or decimated if its not quite dead as do i

i cant stand the thought of dying slowly id rather die fast than suffer

Throw away everything you think about the Halo Side Trilogy because the Crap is going to hit the Fan.

Work is still pushing forward on the next book, and the conclusion of The Mirratord.

Help needed
Well, it is time for me to start my New Years resolution of getting published this year. And here is how you can help.

I am currently looking for critics to read my first REAL novel. If you find that you have some free time, PM me with the subject "NEW Book". I'd like to get some real comments on the story substance.and I'm limitiing the amount of copies to 5. If you aren't interested, but know someone who might be, let them know.

Reason why I am asking you guys, is because you are all my target audience for this story, and my writing style. I'm hoping to send out the story to the lucky patrons on our around february.

THis story will not affect "the Mirratord" or "Path of Reclamation". It is in Second - Rough Draft form, so spelling and some grammer problems will be encountred. It is roughly 360+ pages long. Please PM me before January 12th with your email address and real first and last name. The book will be in PDF form, and I ask that you not pass it around... actually I have to demand that you don't pass it around. When you are done reading it, I will expect a detailed review... Likes, dislikes, plot points, confusing points, missing points, if you hate it,... those sort of things. I'm not looking for a pro critic, but i would like for a detailed view of what you thought of the story in general.

More info will be made available once you PM me.
Subject: New Book
In the message include your Email, and First Last Name.

Again, PM me before January 12th. I will be selecting my 5 readers then.
Good luck and thanks for your time.

Doh! Beaten again.

Book 3 and the Mirratord final chapters are underway, as Lai stated, and I hope to get chapter 11 posted on friday. Looking ahead, I'm thinking that perhaps I will continue to post Book 3 in this thread. Seeing that it is no longer officially Halo 3 material, I can not see myself posting it in the Halo 3 forum.

"The Path of Reclamation" will be the final chapter in the Halo Side Trilogy. Once the Mirratord is complete I will begin posting Book 3 roughly a few weeks later. This book will not be as long as IIWYH, because IIWYH ventured into territories i hadn't planned to journey to. I know, I know, the same thing may happen to PoR, but I will try my darnedest to stay on point with this story. (Try and try I never seem to do it, but I will put my foot down this time!) So instead of reaching nearly 25+ chapters, I'm thinking that Book 3 will end around the 20(+-) mark.

More info as it becomes available.

Still alive, finishing up the final chapter of "The Mirratord" as we speak.

Look for "Path of Reclamation" within the next two weeks. Still not sure if I should add it here or make a new thread...

I have walked among men and angels for three thousand years. Time has no end... no beginning... no purpose.
I wander the earth, seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God and man.
I live to see death, destruction, over the light, but the light cannot be extinguished.
I live in a prison of my own demise.
I am lost in time. -Gravemind-

Maybe you should contact Eric Nylund for suggestions on how to get your book published. I think his name on this site is "I kill Grunts". Keep up the good work.

Ah -blam!-, I'll be away when you post your next chapter. Since I doubt it'll be posted in the next 36hrs.

Ah well if the camp goes bad, then I'll be happy when I get back...

Yup. But I'm thinking of starting a new thread for the b.net forums, and letting this one sink to the bottom.
