Subject: A New Forum - A General Literature Forum

I propose a new forum. A "General Literature," forum. This forum would have more use than my aforementioned request, a "Halo Novel Forum."

A General Literature Forum would have it's uses:

1.) First, it would be a place to discuss Halo Novel related theories, and the books themselves.

2.) Second, it would be a place to discuss any book, any literature in general, like poems and book series'.

3.) Thirdly, it would be a place to submit fan-fictions. I have seen it, people love to read fan-fictions. I as a reader and a writer know this. I have also wittenessed how people love to gawk a excellent writers, like soulguard, Mr Clark, sir_brilliant, possibly myself (I haven't released any of my work for public digestion), and a few others. It would be a great place to get first-hand reviews.

I know not how Ideal Science works, but I do know how to post. I would happily create a guide in collaboration with Achronos and the aforementioned fan-fiction writers. Together, we could create the perfect guide to making a fan-fiction.

I really want this to become a reality.

You sure? I believe enough posts are made about them to justify having it's own forum. Anyone else?

I think it would be a good idea myself
The game isn't true to the novels, so this would stop people arguing in the Halo 3 forum.
All seems good to me

Check us out for Halo movies!

True, because the Halo 1, 2, and 3 forums aren't the right places for Novel discussion. Unless it's "The Flood"...which might go in Halo 1.

Hmm. Seems people want it..... Need more opinions to justify such a change though. Keep em' coming, negative, positive, doesn't matter to me. I just want some feedback.

Not really a big enough topic to warrant its own forum. People's theories usually tie in with one of the three games, so it'd be better just to post them in the forum of the certain game.

I think a Halo general forum (for like, movie, books, fan fic, general storyline discussion) should be made, though.

That would work. Though I am still searching for the ultimate opinion: Achronos. I wonder if he'll drop by... I could always message him, but people say he reads the forums a ton.

Then everybody who didn't know -blam!- about the forums would post every Halo-related topic they had there (Halo2, etc.)

I used to think of New Mombasa as that type of forum, now it's full of a bunch of useless morons who think they're doing Bungie good by spamming their forums with pointless bullstuff about cheating and modding.

A Halo General Forum would be a good idea. It would be a great place for topics about the movie, the novels, The Graphic Novel, the monthly Halo comics, fan fics, and general Halo discussion. I have some theories/speculation that doesn't really relate to any of the games. It would work best in a Halo General forum

This forums name could be SPAM, as that is exactly what would go in it. A single forum to cover such a wide range of topics isn't a good idea.

I still like the Literature forum, encompasing the Halo Novel, plus all Halo Fanfics, poems, and the like.

It'd be for the authors and whatnot. You'd have to read a great deal, and spammers don't like to read. I figure you might get a few "Wow, that was long. I can't read that" and things of the like, but a few bannings would fix that. Eventually, the spammers wouldn't even go there (most don't come here, do they?) for the all reading and discussion that they don't want to read. It might just work. Trial basis, anyone?

I ask of this because changes are coming, and I don't think that creating a new forum takes near as much work as format changes. I don't know.

Howbout we call it The Storytime forum? Then underneath the title, we could have Halo Plot Discussion and Fanfic Depository for the desctiption.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

The only reason people are talking about the Halo novels now is because of the announcement of Ghosts of Onyx. It will dye down soon and be just another lost topic to the forums.

Although I don't particularly like the proposed name, I like the idea. You could discuss all literature there, or maybe JUST the Halo Novels, and it would be a place to posts fanfictions. There are a ton of fanfiction writers here, myself included. I myself would love a literature forum.

Not quite. Although I wish we could use an already existing forum, there really is no other choice in my eyes (Achronos told me he didn't see it as necessary at the moment, by the way; but we can still work out ideas that he might accept). The Underground isn't a Halo board.

When everyone reads the books I can see use for book forums. One look at the Halo 3 of New mombasa forums will tell you that were no where near that point yet.

Hopefully that will change with this book, the Ghosts of Onyx. Maybe it will be like Halo 2, not as many people played Halo: CE, but tons played Halo 2.

I like this idea. I was thinking this to myself earlier today, actually...I don't think talking over the novels will ever die down...more and more people keep reading them.

I see countless posts about the Halo Novels everywhere. I think there needs to be a Novel forum.


I don't think the novels need a separate forum I believe the purpose of the Underground is for topics such as the novels.
