ok, It's time to break the bad news...

The Bad News

School has finally discovered my last remnant of free time and slaughtered it mercilessly. Between Regional Playoffs for football, work, and crazy teachers, my collabrator and I have decided it time for a hiatus. I will be re-writing the story during this time.

The Re-write

I have something to tell you, which is actually very good news, recently I allowed someone who was simply listening to the storyline develop and helping me out has become a full time collaborator. Not a co-author, but he is helping with storyline and the re-write. After reading over some of the story, I realized it is an injustice to you guys to leave the beginning of the story in a writing style much lower than the one I posses now (It's been a whole year). I will be throwing out some sections, heck maybe even whole chapters, but I will be adding a lot more. I would like to keep this particular thread open, so I will post updates on the rewrite as well as hints as to what is getting the axe and so on and so forth.

Sorry for the bad news, I had been trying not have to do this, but it is for the best.

Two questions: How much of the begining are you going to rewrite?
And will you continue the story in this thread or not?

On a side note it is not your fault your writing level has developed that happends to all authoers who write books over time. They get better personall I do not see the need for you to rewrite the first section until maybe you finish the story but it is your fanfic and I will continue to read it and enjoy it immensely as you write.

Two answers:

I will continue the story in this thread

I feel much of the beginning requires at least additions, most of the original material will still be there, it is just going to be fleshed out with new material, and the writing itself will be redone. expect few plotlines to be axed.

Yeah, I know what you mean skip, I did notice some things that were goofy, especially in the beginning parts. In the syory that I'm writing now, I actually had to erase about half of it because it was so stupid.

AWESOME FANFIC. this is the best fanfic i have ever read. i've been reading all the posts, when you make a book out of this, i will definetly be on the buyers list. your story is soo incredibly awesome, i think i might write my own, it would fill up all the free time i seem to have when i procrastinate on my homework.

Well Skip, I know what you mean about not having time for anything else...I am in the same predicament. If you need to revamp your story that is fine by me. It it good so far, but if need the time to make it better go ahead...just next time don't take so long to tell us something. Keep us informed when you get the chance and I can't believe it's already been a year.

Just want to let you know, the rewrite has begun, I am making some headway tonight, but first I need some pizza...

Well if I know the Skip then for him and the rewrite...it is CHEESE PIZZA.

So can we expect anything soon or will it all come in one giant, uninterupted piece?!?

That is a good guess, but it was actually pepperoni due to a lack of cheese pizza in my fridge.

Still making progress, though it's mainly just fixing grammar right now.

Rainman, your story is truly a fantastic tale. It's finally something ORIGINAL, it's on something that nobody ever really refers to, the Spartan 1's. It kinda fills us with somethign to ponder about, Bungie really never refers to the Spartan 1's.........Keep up the good work!

Sorry Chief...no chapter. The Skip is in the process of rewriting the first part, over the past year his skills have changed so he feels it's time to edit for now and then continue with the story when he's done with that.
