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.
Then they need to change they rules for that forum. It states that it is not a Halo board.

Me either, though the more reasonable and more likely to get accepted would be a literature forum, for books and fanfictions and such.

I would really like to have a Halo Novel Forum, but I don't think people would frequent it enough to keep it alive and going.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Personally, I think there are enough Halo forums as it is. If you wanted to do this, I think some consolidation would be in order. But that's just my opinion.

But this does seem like an interesting idea. Would the forum include Halo storyline discussion, as it relates to the books? Also, assuming it includes fanfiction, would they be discussed, or just posted there? Would the forum also include the HGN, and Halo comics?

Of course no one actually knows the answers, since it doesn't exist. I'm just looking for some opinions.

When I originally made this post I was only interested in having a strictly Halo Novel forum.

Now, I am more interested in having a 'General Literature Forum', where people would submit fan-fictions (I see fan-fictions submitted to New Mombasa all the time, and New Mombasa is a Halo 2 forum, so they seem out of place). It would also be a place to discuss literature of all kinds, poems, perhaps music, basically a forum for hand written (or typed, rather) media.

I will edit my original post according to my current desires.

I'm not sure that they would want just any literature to be discussed. Maybe allow comparisons between Halo novels and other books, but I don't think that a Flood for literature would be a good idea.

But what about this: instead of only allowing Halo related materials, like the original idea seemed to be, the forum could be for all types of Bungie related literature. That would include oldskool fanfics, and general Bungie writings (such as Gnome's stories).

I'm actually starting to like this idea. In my opinon, it should remain related to Bungie, though. Thoughts?

  • 08.31.2006 3:57 PM PDT

Excellent Idea.

Tartan 118 has a great fanfic, HOLA: Parodies Evolved. He only released the Prologue and Chapter 1 to the public. He has the rest in his group.

Although that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

*ahem*. Onto the rest of the post.

I think there are enough fanfics and authors out there to warrant a literature forum.

Maybe for another forum, yes; a literature forum is rarely a bad thing. However, this is Bungie's website. There are only 12 forums; not a lot comparted to other message boards. That is because each one is very generic, and pertains to a specific game/aspect of Bungie.

There is a forum for all things that aren't Bungie, and it is called the Flood. That is the only forum there is for everything non-Bungie related, and that's all that there will ever be.

Good idea, though.

I very much like the idea. Spammers would be repelled, as most don't bother to read long posts, so, thus, that solves that problem.

Methinks one should exist. Of course, I think a lot of things that I never see happen, so uh, I guess it's all up to the Achronos.

No way would I ever attempt to post something intelligent in there. No offense to Flood goers.

I think there's enough posts that fall in the outlined categories to justify this kind of forum.

It was a good idea until a wave of negative feedback came in. But no way am I letting this one go.

REG, anything you'd like to add to my first post?

I think a General Literature Forum would be great. I write and read a lot.(Although none of it is fan fictions) A place where people could release stories, discuss poems and their writing technique...It would be fantastic! Great idea Lone Heretic.

Well then, stop asking for a forum. Because there is one for this kind of thing, and you simply don't want to post in it.

General Literature is a focused subject. I have never seen a fanfiction submitted there. And when someone posts something Halo related they get chastised. My opinion remains, it would be a great addition.

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.

~ Change is coming, and some of it is already here. ~


This is a great idea and im sure that i would be a big hit although i think maybe you should expand the subject's slightly

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

"The [Halo] Bible" That just came to me. It would have to encompass Everything literature to warrent enough activity.

Ah Halo CE, still can't get past The Library on Legenary...

God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

The idea is a big N and a little o because why waste internet space over something that can be talked about in the Underground forum?

The underground was not made for Halo Fanfiction, though the novels can be discussed. I'm all up for a Fanfic/Novel forum. Combine the Gallery and Voting booth and put the Novel one in the place of one of them.
