Hey guys, I'm writing a book regarding halo, though what subject matter (note: It's not fan fiction!) I'm going to keep secret for now. But before I get started on a lonng project, what exactly would you guys like to see? And what would you buy?

It's essentially a halo guide, though not the strategy guide type. It's more applied towards the smaller things, or the things people just overlook in general. It's more of a fun read that can be applied, rather than meant to turn you into an elite. There is a twist, and that part is the secret.

So what would you guys like to see? As in, full color, paper stock, pictures... screenies...anything you can throw in?

I'm studying halo pc and eventually, halo 2 vista for now, and trying to hook up a wide variety of matches with skill levels from NOOBS to elites. Mainly to study the play styles and get into the head of why people do what they do in halo. Anyone interested is welcome to join, and of course get credit for it IF my book is published, and of course, I get the OK from bungie to begin with.

Well, I know its confusing, but to explain:

Pretty much just see what the experts do, and study them to a very minute detail... and what the NOOBS do as well to the same degree. I've got a bunch of harddrive space and capturing programs for this, but I do have xfire, I'll add ya soon.

Yeah I know I never intended to sell it as bungie made...as I said its not technically a strategy guide, it's not REALLY for profit, but I would like to atleast get it seen. I'm a huge halo fan, and it would be nice to share something with the rest of my fellow fans. I emailed frankie... but I doubt he'll even read the proposal.

Your idea seems to be a good one, well to me that is. I'll be the first in line on the website you host this "guide" at, hell, I'll even ask for your signatures (all 1337 of 'em) if this guide is as good as 100 awesome custom maps put together. xD

*Out of my way, Kim, Igg, Demi, Robo, Zen, Trekkie, Wartex, etc.!!! I'm getting that guide first!*

It looks to be like Im gonna have to just publish a website for it, or submit it to a fan site, cause seems like the book writing portion is tougher than I thought.
