    Your point is invalid, according to you.

    If you had bothered to read the entire thread, instead of just coming to back up your little post-whore buddies, you probably would've been able to decipher the fact that this entire time my stance on grammar has been nonchalant.

    I have read the entire thread, you *** whore, now if you actually had a brain, then you would be able to notice sarcasm. Also, it seems you can't even quote properly. What a *** fine gentleman.

    You lot are further proving what a negative community you all are.

    and how's that?

    I FJ I:

    Someone comes here to post something they obviously spent time on, and you flame him. You quite obviously where not trying to improve his work. You wanted him out of this section.

    If that made any sense at all, I would so an actual response to that...

    I FJ I:

    Regardless of what you may do, you all give off the impression of a cave out here in the FF section. All you do is care far to much about teh cannon of fintional, fan made stories when it really doesnt matter.

    canon is important in stories, but we don't just care for canon.  The story was just...blah.

    I FJ I:

    I am trying to defend someone, by saying that your give this impression, your being negative and your missing the point of FF and i get a response calling me extremely rude words. That was un called for and proved my points right.

    The fanfic is just bad. 

    I FJ I:

    This is a grammor contest, or historical essay. Its a section for people to write fiction, but you are infant the ones who turned it into something it shouldnt be. Many people would love to post fiction in this sectin, but you act like its your own place, and set the standerds so high that people arnt allowed in.

    would you read a book that had bad grammer?  Would you read a book at all?

    I FJ I:

    Perhaps you would get more writers, if you were more patient and actually helped people, rather than flame them and call it constructive critisism.

    We are patient.  The whole(mainly) first two pages were ways to improve his work


    MY POST COUNT IS OVER 9,000!!!
    Bow before me mortals!
    banned, for no good reason. I will be back though, and I intend to kick some serious ass...

    It seems we're going round in circles then.

    I've tried my best to discuss this with you, but I seems nothing I say will change your pre-concieved view of us. It saddens me.

    FJ, if you don't listen to anything else I say, listen to this. Please stop posting in this thread, you just making the situation worse, and it's only going to end badly. If you want argue about this some more, I'm willing to listen via PM, but this vicious back and forth acomplishes nothing.

    If I had any clue where my copy of Halo Wars was, then I would most likely play you, though you would probably beat me, as it seems you have spent many hours practising spamming units, and I have only played the game a few times, as it was not a very enjoyable game to me. Also, maybe you should actually pay attention to what is going on in a thread before posting. 

    What Command and Conquer site were you mad the strategy specialist on?

    Also, it seems that you do not understand sarcasm, or the point I was trying to make, which is that Halo Wars is a very simple strategy game, and it uses very simple strategies, with very little economy in it. (building a structure in a slot on a base is not the same as managing 40+ villagers getting resources).

    Re: Anders and the Arbiter

    TrUe SkiilL TM:Hey guys. I have decided to write some FF of my own because I love everything about Halo. I've read all the books and have played all the mission all the way through. Let me know what you think, a lot of research went into this!

    I'd be glad to read it.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:Feburary 4th. 2931.

    Well, we've off to a bad start, already. I won't pass judgment yet, as this might be purposely set in the future, but...

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Arbiter's presence signified the Covenant's conquest of Harvest. While Shirley did not care much for this planet, something in the sparkle of its moons gave it a heavenly glow. The Arbiter called for his servant and the Brute Chieftain came submissively to his side. 'Brute Chieftain, bring me the woman.'

    Alright, so, where to begin? Well, first of all, the Covenant conquered Harvest in 2525. The UNSC retook sometime around 2529, as I recall. Now then, Ripa 'Moramee, also known as Shirley, the Arbiter from Halo Wars, died in 2531, exactly four hundred years prior to this story taking place, unless the nine was a typo. Next, I really don't think Harvest would have a heavinly glow...it was glassed, after all. As you can see in the background of this very website, it was a smoldering ball in some areas and experiencing nuclear winter in others. It should also be noted that Harvest doesn't have a moon. I would then like to note that the Brutes are not present on Harvest in 2531, and also that the Brutes are not servants of the Elites. This is especially true for Brute Chieftains. Further, if this is truly set in 2931, then most of the Brutes are probably dead, considering that the Elites and Humans defeated the Covenant in 2553. Of course, I should also point out that in 2931, unless you introduced a new conflict, the Elites and Humans are at peace. Now then, let's move on.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Chieftain bowed his head and left. The Arbiter continued to stare at the landscape from the castle that had once belonged to Captain Cutter. Where once stood the Mega Turret that had for five hundred and five years prevented Covenant forces from Pelicaning in reinforcements, lay the remains of the defeated human soliders. With his telescope, the Arbiter viewed the carnage clearly. The Master Chief, helmet shattered by a Plasma Grenade, stared blindly at the skies with flesh dissolved and bleach-white bones shining in the light of Harvest's seven moons.

    Now, you said you have read the books, right? Did you purposely ignore them and the games completely? Well, let's do this piece by piece. As I already stated, Brute Chieftains are not the servants of Elites. Next, Captain James Cutter didn't live in a castle, and I'm pretty sure he didn't live on Harvest, either, so even if he did live in a castle, it wasn't on Harvest. Next, I suppose I should point out that the Covenant don't use Pelicans, nor would they in the future, as the Phantom and the Spirit are both technologically superior to the Pelican. I'd also like to point out that telescopes aren't very useful for viewing a battlefield, and that the Elites use monoculars, which I suppose are similar in some senses, though much smaller. Next...well, Master Chief Petty Officer John SPARTAN-117, commonly referred to simply as the Master Chief, was not present at Harvest, and went MIA in 2553. Also, again, Harvest does not have any moons. Moving on.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:Anders moaned in protest as Brute Chieftain brought her in. She was knelt and her hands and legs were shackled with the shackles that the Covenant had designed to imprison the Prophet of Sadness in 2021. The Brute Chieftain left them alone with an awkward cough as he saw the lusting expression that the Arbiter gave Anders.

    That last line gives me a bad feeling. The grammar in the second sentence isn't very well constructed, as "was knelt" doesn't really make much sense. Also, the reference to the Prophet of Sadness is really lost on the audience, since it isn't an actual reference to canon, more like a passing reference to something you made up to make it sound more like canon. Moving on.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:'So, Professor,' the Arbiter began. 'Brute Chieftain tells me you refuse to eat. May I ask why?'

    Brute Chieftain is a rank, not a name. Moving on.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Arbiter clicked his fingers and thus ended the spell that had kept Anders' mouth from opening.

    Wait...a spell? The Elites aren't magical, you realize. Furthermore, if there was a spell keeping her mouth closed, how could she have eaten?

    TrUe SkiilL TM:'Call me crazy, but I don't enjoy the taste of Grunts.' Anders looked the Arbiter from head to hoof and her hard expression softened. Where once she had only noticed his shining scales, she saw muscular definition that betrayed the physical hardships of his life.

    The Elites don't actually eat Grunts. I'm pretty sure they have their own wildlife that they eat. I'm frankly still trying to figure out how Anders is still alive after four centuries.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Arbiter saw this change in attitude and raised his chin in pride. Slowly, so not to arouse suspicion, he tensed his chest and inhaled. Anders' eyes widened and before she could stop it, she grinned.

    Sigh.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Arbiter placed her hand in his and raised her to her feet. She looked into his eyes for a moment before she stepped back. 'Keep away from me, you monster! You killed Sergeant Forge, my father.' And although her scowl showed hatred, something in her tone contradicted her. The Arbiter stepped forward and grabbed her waist.

    Father?! My God, if the Arbiter says "I am your father," I think I will die. Besides, he didn't kill Forge. It was actually the other way around. Forge then sacrificed himself in order to save the others. But really, I don't like where this was going.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:Atop the shoulders of the Brute Chieftain, a Grunt named Gallomk peered eagerly through a small window into the room. Being picked by the Arbiter's manservant was indeed a huge honour, Gallomk thought. Perhaps the Brute Chieftain will reward him with a promotion!

    I'd just like to point out that your verb tenses here don't agree. It starts in past tense, then shifts suddenly into present/future tense.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Brute struggled to keep his balance as Gallomk wriggled for a better view. 'What do you see, you snivelling rodent?'

    'She's kissing him!' Gallomk squeaked. 'And - oh boy - oh, wow!'

    'What? What's he doing?'

    'He's -!'

    'What? Now what's happening.'

    'Oh no...'

    'Speak to me, you scrap of Vortex!'

    'I feel sick!' The Grunt swayed and screamed as he fell to the ground.

    That Grunt isn't alone. I was afraid this would turn into an extension of Rule 34, but I had dared to hope.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The Brute kicked him in the face and, panting with frustration, asked, 'You idiot!' Kick. 'Well, what did you see?' Kick. 'You said he was hitting her?' Kick. 'What did he do next?'

    Technically, the Grunt described what she was doing to him, not vice versa.

    TrUe SkiilL TM:The grunt whimpered and began to cry. The Brute eventually stopped thrashing Gollomk and waited for him to regain his composure.

     'What was the Arbiter doing?!'

    The question triggered the Grunt's memory and he vomitted violently on himself. 'He wasn't hitting the demon girl, he kissed her. Oh God.' The grunt swayed. 'And then-'

    The Brute recoiled. It was as he had expected! The thought of the Arbiter's scaly body even in the same room as that delicate butterfly made the Brute Chieftain feel sick. Without saying a word he picked up his Hammer, put his Vortexing glove on and charged into the room with a murderous roar.

    Vortexing glove? Really?

    0/10, overall. I'm afraid that you actually didn't do any research, and I doubt you've read any of the books. Heck, you must have skipped half of the cut scenes in Halo Wars just to come up with this! Your grammar needs a bit of work, but really, there was no real plot, not continuity, no substance at all. If you are going to write "Halo" fan fiction, I suggest you actually read the books and whatnot, and, for the love of God, avoid cross-species romance at all costs. That sex scene at the end of Contact Harvest was bad enough.


    I like pi.

    Lady Hope:

    Although this post has caused a huge flame war on this site, I think it has raised some very valid issues for me, and perhaps others on the site, who would like to look past the disrespectful flamers (of whom some are my good friends).

    The most important question that comes to mind is: "Should FF follow the original cannon?"

    As a person who loves to write, I constantly read the FF posted on this site. I think its very enjoyable regardless of how close it follows the original story line. A quick search of the definition shows that nowhere is FF strictly supposed to follow the original work.

    Fanfiction as defined by Dictionary.com:

     a fictional account written by a fan of a show, movie, book, or video game to explore themes and ideas that will not or cannot be explored via the originating medium; also written fan fiction, also called fanfic

    Fanfiction as defined by the Merriem-Webster Dictionary:

    stories involving popular fictional characters that are written by fans and often posted on the Internet

    Fanfiction as defined by the Longman dictionary of contemporary english:

    stories that use characters or events from famous books, television programmes, or films, but which are written by a fan of the original book etc (=someone who likes it very much), not the book's real writer.

    Obviously, and unfortunately, others on this site do not agree and cannot get past little details to see some of the stories for what they are. Well written, enjoyable fiction. It makes it hard for others to post here, myself included. I do not want to post my fiction to a forum where everyone flames because of an inaccuracy in the timeline of a fictional story. ( I have contributed to many writers' forums and know the difference between constructive criticism and flaming). I would like to post my stories in a welcoming community, as this should be seeing as it is the only community that can understand and appreciate Halo Wars FF. Again, I am sure there are others who feel the same.

    This being said, it's a shame that the library, a great section of the Halo Wars site, can cause this much anger. This should be a forum where people are happy to post for each others enjoyment and their own betterment.

    Writing is something that I am very passionate about. To the point where I felt my first post should be about this topic. I hope that my post can be seen as my personal opinion and not related to any of those posts or opinions that come from the rest of the others in this thread.

    Truely great words.

    Indeed. I would love to see some of your writing here Lady Hope, as writing should be enjoyed, not something to argue about.

     

    Vigil, you do know that he (or she) has been here for almost four months, and this is his (or her) first post. 

     

    I understand why you would think that my lack of posts is relevant. I did, however, mention that it was my first post.

    Also, as someone who has been lurking for awhile and has read all of the going-ons, I think that I bring in a completely objective view that would otherwise get squashed beneath the trolling and flaming.
