Hey guys question.

If you made a story that invovled halo characters entered a contest and got the story published in the paper do you think Bungie would file a lawsuite?

if you do or don't work for bungie please email me at danielc-d@cox.net

$x='print chr(36),"x=",chr(39),$x,chr(39),";\n",$x; ';
print chr(36),"x=",chr(39),$x,chr(39),";\n",$x;

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

published? maybe

(it's copyright by the way)

You could always give your characters names like Joetana or Master Chef, just so Bungie's got nothing on you.

Or you could mention at the end that the characters were taken from Halo.

'Based on Characters and Story Elements from the Halo video game series and Supplementary Fictional Works, published, owned and/or commissioned by Bungie Studios.' should do the trick.

Do you get any profit if it's published?

Man, that would be awesome. I wonder what hotel Bungie would file there law suite in. Perhaps they would invite you and you could have a big LAN party. Or perhaps a pillow fight.

And yes, unless you got written permission from Bungie, I have a feeling they would be unhappy with you.
