THIS IS NOT A HALO BOARD

* Halo Xbox topics go in The Library

* Halo PC/Mac topics go in The Maw


* Halo 2 topics (General/Campaign/Multiplayer) go in New Mombasa

* Halo 2 Matchmaking Playlist topics go in Optimatch


* Halo 3 topics go in Halo 3 Forum (who'd have thought?)


* Bungie topics that don't fit in other forums go in The Underground

^^^^^^ Sort of contradicting. The books are Halo related, yet the topics that don't fit in with the other forums go here, but this isn't a Halo board...

* Topics that have nothing to do with Bungie at all go in The Flood

Combine the Gallery and Voting booth and put the Novel one in the place of one of them.


That's a good idea. Those two places have been dead for years.

KOTOR | The WarriorsI'll chain you to the truth for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came

The Voting Booth and The Gallery will most likely come alive again when Halo 3 is released. As for the Literature Forum, I'm all for it. Remember, there will be a few more Halo novels after Ghosts of Onyx, therefore, the range of topics will expand. I don't see it happening now, but maybe after some more novels come out.

There isn't enough demand for a new forum devoted to this topic.

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

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.

You know, there are more fan fictions than just Halo-fics. You might want to check the "Flood Library" once in awhile.

That brings me to my main point. We don't need a new forum for fan-fics. All we need is one thread with links to all the fan fics of that forum. That way people can go through and pick and choose which fan fic they want without having to search through endless pages of either meaningless drivel, or meaningless fan fics.

And this doesn't have to be Mod instituted. ChiChi made that thread, I assume, on a whim. If you want a place to put all your fan fics, or to have others put theirs, then make a thread...just try not to copy ChiChi word for word.

I agree that what is needed is a thread with links to all the fan fics in each forum.

Yes, I do know there are more than just Halo fanfictions. But here, how many?

Who is ChiChi? I wasn't asking this to be mod instituted. I was just throwing this idea out there; there needs to be SOME kind of solution. And would a new forum not be suited? I would imagine it to be one of the better forums. I also planned to create a guide to fanfiction writing, presentation, submission, etc. with the help of others to cut down the 'endless drivel'.

A lot. Like I said, check the "Flood Library."

The fact is, we don't need a new Forum. It's a nice idea, but it just seems like overkill. It would be much easier if we just had a thread in each Forum for fan fics of that particular kind, be it Halo, Old school, or none of the above (Flood). That way if you want to read a certain type of fan fic, you just go to that Forum and look in the thread.

It's much simpler and more efficient than having Achronos, or whoever, waste their time creating a whole new Forum.

As I stated before, new forum or not, there needs to be some place fanfictions and books can be discussed undisturbed.

I agree. So make a group, or make a thread.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I don't know about it being "General". It should only be related to Halo, and should be geared mainly toward the Novels, the Graphic Novel, any Illustrations, and Hints in the games (Like MP maps) that allude to things from the novels.

Call it "Backbone" as it would deal with the backbone which keeps true fans coming back to Halo: Story.

I thought this was gone. Or, rather, I forgot about it. I had decided not to speak on it anymore, but now that it is back up, I suppose it is back up for debate.

I still support this thread 777%. I really do think it's a good idea.

The literature could all be put in the Underground and its description can be changed, or a sticky for literature can be placed in each forum. I don't think there is a need for a new forum.

Osmosis!

Just use the current Forums, they'll fit in one of them, most would fit in the Spetagon, or if you're real desperate, the Flood. Or, like Stosh said, make a public group.

Groups are too exclusive, and I think that using the current boards would cause unwanted flaming and general "I was too lazy to read it"ing.

I can't tell you how many time I have seen someone say that. It could be two paragraphs long (sixteen sentences), and it is 'too long to read'.
