Bungie Isn't God... Blame Stosh

I don't think and it should not be impossible to do something like this.
And yet all reports of anyone trying to do something like this was always shot down but the game developers. It would actually be better to release it under a different name and pray Bungie never finds out about it, because if you go out and tell them about it, not only will they shoot it down, but they will also be on the lookout for it to sue immediately after a related release.
Its corporate Greed, but it also has to do with the entire foundation for the timeline. If a book is released, then people will assume first that it is a cannon(an actual part of the story) book, when it is in fact non-cannon(not an actual part of the story) . This will cause confusion, and the next thing you know, the Halo wiki will be thrown into chaos and people will be confused for months about it, and Bungie will have to take time out of their busy schedules to fix the mess.
I have seen it before with a Star Wars book. I believe it has been 6 attempts now to fix the wiki, and 2 announcements by lucasarts that it was noncannon...
Normally with something as expansive as Star Wars, it would have been fine if they just wrote about their fictional character and ended it at that, but the writer put in some key things in the book that baffled people and caused a small uproar. lol Corusaunt was destroyed or something like that. I can't remember. All I remember was reading it and laughing uncontrollably about how stupid the writer was for putting it.
It causes trouble. Don't do it. Make up something original. How abut that?
If you absolutely HAVE TO write it, make one million percent sure you have every single fact down and ready to be mentioned, and not changed in any way shape or form, because if you change even one thing, then it will cause an uproar.
