I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Could Bungie eventually invite people to send in their Bungie Scout Books to be passed around and viewed back at the studio? I think it would be a fun way to scout out talented Community members. I don't mean for employment of course, but possibly for the chance to be featured in a Bnet article. On the other hand, I could be just over-analyzing the word "Scout".

Either way though, I am still going to completely fill in the book from front to back with my ideas and stories.

I doubt it op. I like your idea of filling it up with your ideas and stories. It's for you to put your stories, concepts, thoughts in . . . Not necessarily to be shared with Bumgie.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

Like a Flat Stanley. Sounds fun, but I doubt Bungie would have time to invest in something like that. I'm sure they're more focussed on the Destiny project than anything else at the moment.

Oh great. Now I have to buy the thing for the sole purpose of writing a ridiculous Great Illustrated Classic (Where one of every 2 pages is just a big picture) and use for my pictures only what I can find in however many sticker books I can get with a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card.

And when my novel is complete, I will send it to the Bungie office. Its arrival will be much anticipated due to all its hype in book clubs across the country. And then, after Bungie gives me a crown for the magnificent piece of work, I will publish it and use the profits to swim in a pool of money, Ducktales style.

Don't stop there! Make your pool on the moon!

Personally, I'm going to fill mine up with an IP that will change the world, and when I get to Bungie (I'm going to say in about five years) I will quietly sit and do my work like a good little minion. THAN, once work for the Marathon reboot begins I will strike! I'll go up to Jason Jones, shove my little book of perfection into his corneas and watch him weep in joy...and optical discomfort. Than Bungie will form a side division after the critical success of Destiny, working on one of the most original concepts in the quarter-century!

Seriously though, I've been mentally working on this concept since I was in 7th grade, six years. I've built, scraped, brutally crushed, than incinerated, and than watched the phoenix rise to its glory and I believe its ready to stretch its wings, yet not leave the nest in flight, ready to become tangible, in other words.

I will tell that:
1. It is not a shooter
2. It is Sci-fi
3. It is original
4. It is visually not what you'd expect

By the time I get to Bungie it will be 11-12 years in the making.

Don't worry, this is Bungie.net, we over-analyze everything; did you know that there's seven characters in my username?

Ah... I see yours is much more fleshed out than mine... I was just planning on finding a bunch of Justice League and space stickers and writing some vague story about some Bungie employees being the Justice League and fighting say, some reptiles (Or other animals in sticker form) on the moon. Maybe I'll print out some stickers of say Marty's head and put them on Green Lantern's body.

If Marty is any member of the Justice League, it is The Flash.
