Writing a Destiny 2 book...

So I've been dabbling a little, here and there, on writing a book based on Destiny 2. So far, I'm up to 20-ish pages, but I'm just barely getting started. I want to be able to share it to the forums, so that fans of the game might have something (hopefully) interesting to read (and maybe even enjoy). I don't know any sites where I might be able to upload it onto, to share the link to the forums. So for now, it's still just sitting in Microsoft Word on my laptop. Can anybody help me out? Edit: also if anybody is interested, I can put a small part into either the comments section or another post (and link it) in case anybody wants to check out my work and/or critique it.

    “SERA,” her Ghost cried out, chirping wildly, “THE CLOUDS!” The Hunter jerked her head away from the shouting Ghost, wincing in surprise. “Agh, geeze relax. What about them?” “There’s something coming out of them!” Sera skipped to the side, looking around the side of the small building. She watched, as several, bulbous objects floated out of the thick, black clouds. The Hunter's blood turned to ice: Cabal ships –a lot of them. How the hell did they get here? Why didn’t the sensors pick them up? The instant she spotted them, sirens rang out all along the Tower. Guardians snapped to attention, readying weapons, and scanning the skies for the threat. [i]The civilians, we gotta get them out of here![/i] Sera turned back towards Tess, “You need to get out of here, now!” “MISSILES, INCOMING!” The Ghost warned. Sera glanced back up at the ships, and watched as a salvo of missiles lanced through the air, towards the back end of the Tower. The ground beneath her boots trembled, as the rockets impacted along the wall. [i]Shit, the Vanguard![/i] A trio of missiles fired from the leadmost ship, arcing up into the air, and descending down towards the courtyard. In an instant, Sera scanned the courtyard, and found exactly what she had been hoping for: Titans, several of them, scattered all throughout the Tower. “TITANS,” she barked, as loud as she could, “SHIELDS UP, NOW! PROTECT THE CIVILIANS!” The Defenders obeyed, and eight purple domes flashed to life, around the courtyard. Both Guardians and civilians alike rushed towards the domes nearest to them, huddling together against their Titan protectors, as they held their shields up. Sera watched a slight bluish blur, as Tess Everess mantled over her desktop, and rushed toward the nearest Titan at breakneck speed. Sera’s eyes darted back up, towards the missiles, as they sped towards the courtyard. There were still too many civilians, running for cover. [i]We have to buy them time.[/i] She raised her hand to the sky, summoning a pistol of flame and sunfire. She levelled the Golden Gun, and fired three rounds into the sky. The streams of sunlight struck the three missiles, destroying them in midair. A chorus of cheers rang throughout the courtyard. More missiles shot forth, this time from several ships, rather than just the large one at the front of the fleet. [i]Shit…[/i] Slowly, but surely, Sera watched as more Hunters stepped out of their bubbles, and raised their hands to the sky. Seven Hunters now stood throughout the courtyard, flaming pistols in hand. They fired into the sky, destroying more of the missiles. Most of the shots were dead-on, but many still missed their marks. Sera pushed her Light forth once again, firing more rounds into the air. One missile, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. With every shot she fired, another missile blossomed into a flaming flower, in the sky. It strained her, to use so much of her Light, in such a way; still, she couldn’t afford to stop –not until everybody was safe. There were so many missiles. These Cabal didn’t take kindly to the Hunters shooting down their volleys. One by one, the other Hunters collapsed to the ground, their Light exhausted. Nearby Guardians pulled them inside of the Wards, scattered throughout. They could no longer keep taking down the seemingly unending missile salvo. Even Sera felt that her efforts wouldn’t matter enough. She couldn’t fire fast enough. Not right now, at least. She stared down at her left hand, for a moment. “Sera, no,” her Ghost cried out a warning. “You’ll strain your Light too much.” She shook her head, in response, “It’s worth it.” “You’ll kill yourself!” “Stand by for resurrection, Ghost.” She raised for other hand to the sky, summoning forth a second Golden Gun. She scanned the sky, learning the trajectory of every single missile she saw. Her Gunslinger’s Trance was at full power, now. [i]This is my city, you fat ugly elephants. This is my HOME! You think you’re gonna come barging into my home, and shoot us up? I’ll burn every last one of you![/i] Dozens of missiles raced towards the Tower. Sera stood her ground, firing shot after shot of golden fire into the air, annihilating the missiles. With every shot, she felt her life force draining from her body; still, she kept firing. Her vision blurred, and her legs began to shake and buckle. Twenty-six shots later, she could no longer keep the second Golden Gun active, and it fell from her grasp, disappearing in an orange puff, as it hit the ground. She forced her right arm to steady, as she fired off two more rounds. Two more missiles exploded, so close that the concussive force of the explosions hit her in the chest, rocking her back. She was spent. She couldn’t keep going, any longer. The Hunter scanned the courtyard, once more. Dozens of Guardians and civilians were huddled within the cluster of Wards of Dawn, watching her with awe and worry. Despite her best efforts, a handful of missiles had made it through. [i]At least they’re all safe, now.[/i] The first missile landed directly at her feet. In a blinding flash of fire and pain, Sera’s world went black.
