I've read all the novels(including Cryptum and Halo Evolutions), and I'm almost a second time through both The Flood and Contact Harvest. I need my fix of Halo lore! Is there any good fan fiction out there? I cannot wait for a new Halo novel.

Signatures are for squares.

Don't read fanfics.

If you need more CANON material, check out the comic series'.

Halo Graphic Novel - Various stories.
Halo Uprising - Tells the chief's Journey back to Earth while on the Forerunner Dreadnought.
Halo HellJumper - Gives some backstory on Dutch and Romeo.
Halo Bloodlines - More information on BLACK team from the short story Blunt Instruments
Halo Bootcamp - A retelling of the first section of The Fall of Reach

And what the hell is wrong with fanfics???

I support the suggestions from the rest of your post, even though I haven't really read any of the Halo comic books. But seriously? Why would you suggest not reading fanfics, that's just silly.

I find fanfics to be a waste of time, despite the fact that I wrote my own some time ago.

I dunno, I just feel like there's something more productive to be doing.

Ah, I see, so you don't really have any problem with them, you just think you can/have things better to read than fanfiction. That's fine I guess, I personally find fanfics a lot of fun as long as the story is good.

Edit: I don't know of any good Halo fanfics to suggest Augustus :/ Sorry. Though she has some good one shot stuff if you want to check that out.

"You dead yet? No? You will be!"

"How you like them pears? Guess what I mean by pears."

"I'm gonna rip off his partridge and kick him in the pear tree!"

There will be more in the Forerunner Saga.

I wish the Halo series was more similar to that of the Star Wars canon with thousands of stories to tell with dozens of books, games, films, and art.

How was Bootcamp?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

bootcamp is pretty good. it's just the first third of FoR in comic form. You get to see Spartan faces. It's not as detailed but it gets all the main points. It's a must read for anybody who doesn't want to read the book cause it doesn't have pictures.

Stupid ass washing machine...

This is an incredibly good Halo Wars story, starting at the Legendary ending to the game, where Serina wakes the Captain from cryo-sleep.

It's very well-written, interesting and developed. I had a lot of fun reading it.

Also, if you're into more theme-driven fan-fics, I suggest this guy's stories. They're largely horror/exploration based, and don't really have any relation to the games themselves, but are rather a more fanciful tale of what is happening to other humans.

I haven't read Bootcamp :P The only ones of the Halo Comic Books that I've really read are the Halo Graphic Novel, and I skimmed through Halo Uprising. Other than that I've never read any others.

Yes! I got damn-near up-to-date (I need Helljumper and Cryptum) on the Halo fiction this Christmas. Uprising is a brilliant series - get the hardback version with the complete set!

I have to agree; I'm still writing a fan fiction (mostly because I started it a while ago and don't like abandoning things, and partly because it's good for honing my writing skills) but I never read any other fan fiction.

A bit ironic maybe, but I don't find it too interesting.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Halo Evolutions.

You must read it.

The Gallary has some good reads, and the're made the comunity. But none of them offical books by Bungie/343. Not canon.

Oh, I forgot to mention in the OP that I've already read it. I've seen a 2nd edition of it though. Does it feature a lot of new stories?
