I'm wondering if you could hold a contest somewhere for people to make a cover image for this novel, my photoshop is extremely slow :( [edit] ignore this post, I've finished the cover. [Edited on 10.02.2010 11:07 PM PDT]

Awesome story Wolwer. Two questions: 1. Is there going to be sequel? 2. What happened to Gray team and Maria? (Or do they even exist in your universe?)

Wolver, if you post the .doc online and a few ideas for the cover, I'll see if I can make another PDF like I did for True Sangheili book 1.
-
@JobeTheConqueror I see your point. Still, I like the idea of seeing something set in an existing universe/setting/whatever-you'd-call-it, and based around a group of original characters. The entire Covenant War is a large part of the Halo Universe, with many battles left unknown, Spartans left unseen, and places left unexplored. It seems like a story about original characters set in this Halo Universe could work quite well, especially with a good writer.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Stole my name Seems very well-written. The story seems acceptable on its own. However, the fact that this is a Fan Fiction actually seems to do more harm than anything else. It interferes with the writing, as you must either follow the canon, limiting your writing, or you must do something that essentially is a punch in the face of the universe your fiction is based upon. Use of existing characters also interferes with it. Your writing style holds up quite well, even following the Halo Universe (Although some things, such as the motive for war seem relatively weak and the Elites seem to follow the beliefs of the Covenant a bit to strongly). If you fixed a few problems and possibly focused more on original characters, you could write an impressive story. -Hoping you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism.[/quote] Well it is better than 99.9 Percent of stuff you see on Fanfiction.net (and other sites). Still great story overall, the start was decent, middle was better but the later parts were excellent. [Edited on 09.25.2010 3:58 PM PDT]

@StoleMyName I always appreciate constructive criticism; any feedback is good feedback. Unless it's bad feedback, of course. Regarding what you said, the reason I wrote this and write my other fan fictions is to improve my writing, and they have helped me do this immensely. The difference in quality between the first chapter and last chapter of this story is, and I'm sure many will agree when I say this, huge. That's one of the reasons why the motive for the war is a little weak too. I don't feel that I'm ready to properly start writing a full original novel yet; I only turned 15 a few months ago and have only been writing outside of school for less than two years. So I still have a long way to go. This is basically my "I'm going to put every awesome character and faction from Halo into one fan fiction over-the-top epic" story, and it's been very fun to write. I hope that I have captured each of the characters well to some degree, although I know fully well that some are better than others. I have various other fan fictions centred around original characters. Of course I will always cameo popular characters from the series, because as Jobe rightly said, they're part of what make fan fiction what it is. Anyway, thanks very much for reading it and leaving feedback, and to everyone else who has read Halo 3: Insurrection. I've read and enjoyed every single one of your comments. For those interested, the PDF file will be created as soon as I have the free time. It would be nice to have a cover for it, but unfortunately I'm no artist. If anyone else wishes to that would be fantastic, but I'm not expecting people to go out of their way to create one. Thanks!

Your advice tells a different story, that you might be confused as to exactly what you are reading.

Imagine the popular movie "Twilight". Now, take out all the characters. Now it's just some scenic looks at North western landscape and small semi-rural towns and high schools. Not too gripping, eh? Characters are half the reason we love this stuff. They aren't just an integral part of the story, they ARE the story. So of course fanfiction is going to based around them. If it were mostly original characters, well then it'd be closer to regular old science fiction with a Halo theme, eh? Think about it. As for you there Wolverfrog, just stumbled across this, not quite finished reading it yet. Good stuff though. Follows the style adequately, and the characters seem well captured.

This is amazing. Nice work.

I just remembered, I haven't left a comment here yet :/ One word. EPIC. This 'fic has been going for, what is it, one and a half years now? And it's kept me engaged at every chapter. I've gotten to know your extremely well developed characters in this time, and it's just like I've read a full length novel. The action, the suspense, the dialogue, it's all seemed real to me, and were it not for a few grammatical errors (which could be easily fixed), I'd say that most of this (you might have to revise the early chapters a bit) would be fit for publication. hell, it's better than some actual published novels I've read lately. I've loved every post of this long ride, and while it's sad to see my favourite fanfic you've written come to an end, I couldn't be more happy with how you've ended it. Enough closure to satisfy, but leaving some things to the imagination (damn that Eden and his refusal to die) is awesome. I found myself, after finishing, thinking about how the various races would live together on Earth. A great sign. Congratulations man, you've certainly earned them. 10/10 Oh, and one last thing: Did you say [b]337[/b] pages? [Edited on 09.25.2010 4:25 AM PDT]

Naught but a single word can describe the awesome: EPIC.
-
Followed this story for almost a year now and it is an epic finisher. Thanks for the read it's been fun.
-
Liked the Watchmen moment there. Very nice ending.
-
can you make a PDF form like you did with memoirs 1
-
i'm just thinking aloud but imagine if they made elite Spartans, like orphans of the flood, they'd be invincible
-
Thanks

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Arulaen I have 3 question. 1. What happened to Eden? 2. Why are more Spartans needed? 3. Will ONI let the Halo array be destroyed? That is all.[/quote] 1. Eden has sparked a new pro-human Insurrection. 2. Because it's a big bad universe and the Flood weren't the worst of it. The Precursor empire was huge, and no doubt made many enemies in its time. Their descendants must be prepared. 3. I'll leave that to your own imagination. And regarding Halsey, he couldn't be Doctor Thrace on the Nightingale because she was never at Sanghelios. I meant to put her in the Epilogue as the architect of the new Spartan program. When I have time I'll work it in. Until then, just know that that's what she is doing post-Insurrection. As for the Spartan IV thing, the name is really irrelevant. The fact is that they're not using the same augmentation or hurried training that the Spartan IIIs used, so to give them the same name would be misleading. That's like saying that the Spartan IIs should be called Spartan Is out of respect for the first class. [Edited on 09.19.2010 4:29 AM PDT]

It was an honour to have been with this story since its inception, up to the end. Insurrection saw many highs and lows, times where you just wanted to give it up, times where you wanted to finish it... and times where you posted that -blam!- hilarious ending I'd been trying to persuade you to for months. Well, I'm glad the whole thing is done for you now so you can concentrate on greater projects. This was a true testimony to your writing stamina, something a lot of us writers find difficult to manage with stories half as long as this. As I said in the PM though, I think that it should have been S-III Delta Company (for reasons we discussed). You could have made the doctor in the Epilogue Dr Halsey too, because you left her out for a great protion of this.

New book wolver?

I have 3 question. 1. What happened to Eden? 2. Why are more Spartans needed? 3. Will ONI let the Halo array be destroyed? That is all.
-
MOAR INS_ERECTION NOA! Oh, wait... it's over ),: AWESOME epilogue, though a bit short than I had expected when I heard you describing it. Also no Halsey ):
-
Mouth. On. Floor.
-
not one word can sum that up, oh wait yes it can AWSOME
-
This story is the most incredible work of fiction I've ever read! You should really look into the author job, I have a feeling you'd be the next J.K Rolling of the book world! [Edited on 09.14.2010 11:29 AM PDT]
