And it didnt have to do anything with the original story, it is all fanbased and made up(Stand alone) Would you be able to bring it out under the name halo?
And who needs to give you permission for bringing it out as a book?

What trial does the book follows before in ends up in the shop?

If i made my story fit with the original timeline of the halo universe, but with thing i made up myself, like planets and names of humans and enemys.
Would i be able to get permission by the owner of halo to bring out the book?
(Its about a squad, a mission, a planet that hasnt been seen before in halo(games and books)

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Simply put, no - you would not.

send them(Bungie) the text and explain what it is you want to do. Wait for clarification that you can publish it before sending it to the publishers. Why not post a chapter of your works here on this forum as well? Give those of us who are interested in writing something to read. Thats good advertising as well. Good luck.

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.
