REEF MOB Announcements and Q&A

Hey Everyone! Big thanks to all who are following along with Reef Mob so far, and to any new readers, welcome! If you need to find any specific chapters you missed, you can find them all in the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/218618986/0/0]Master Post[/url]. And be sure to check out Kell of Scar’s current [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/216641797/0/0]House of Scar[/url] series that I’m doing a crossover with for the next two chapters! I've also got a logo up for this story, and I'll be making a separate post shortly to put that up. I’m posting this announcement for a few different reasons: 1) I want more readers! Haha I know everyone says that, but I’m restructuring how and when I post to try and get some fresh eyes on this story. To that end, I will be posting new chapters of Reef Mob every [b]TUESDAY[/b], [b]THURSDAY[/b] and [b]SATURDAY[/b] going forward. 2) I wanted to also introduce myself a little better to you guys so you can know a little bit about my background and some of the ideas going into Reef Mob – I’m a recent college-grad out in the work force, but I’ve been working to be a writer ever since I was a kid. I’ve written five screenplays and submitted them to contests, but nothing picked up yet. I specialize in writing about sci-fi, crime and action, and since the idea for Reef Mob consisted of all three, I couldn’t stop myself from writing it! For the past year, though, I’ve had some serious writer’s block, and writing Reef Mob over the past few weeks is helping me immensely to get past that. So to all who’ve been reading and those who are just coming in now, thanks so much for your help! Writing this story has helped me find my creative voice again a lot, and everyone who comments and up votes my chapters, I truly, truly appreciate it :) 3) I’m not a big social media person – I know, I know, in today’s world we need it and all that, but I’ve never been a big user – I’ve got a Facebook and I’ve messed around with Twitter and Tumblr and such, but nothing seemed to stick. But I love the Destiny community – all the creativity, ingenuity, hilarity and insanity we all enjoy is what brought me back to the Destiny forums even though I haven’t had as much time to play the game over the last year. And to that end, I am making a dedicated effort to answer any comment, any question and any critique you guys have. Speaking of critiques, I’m doubling this post as an informal Q&A so you can ask any question you want about the story and get the author’s insights. I’ve seen some of my stuff get down voted, so if you didn’t like any particular chapter or something about the story just didn’t sit right with you, please let me know! I’m researching as much as I can to keep this story firmly rooted in the existing lore, but it is an original story that takes the elements of the Destiny story and plays with them a little, such as introducing the idea that a kind of “mafia” arose from the chaos of the Reef Wars and still retains some power in that region. If there’s any plot points or timelines that don’t sync up with the current lore, I do make mistakes and try to go back to my earlier chapters and correct them when I see them, but sometimes I miss some stuff or get too wrapped up in the character development that it just slips past me. Please let me know if you see anything so I can get that corrected! And if you simply think the story sucks, I want to hear from you too! At the end of the day, this is a writing exercise for me to get back in the game, so even telling me my writing sucks helps in the end :) I don’t want to overload on my first announcement post, so let me just wrap this up by saying that I have some other works in the pipeline that I will likely be announcing soon — including a potential new story (the lore of the Reef is so complex and fascinating I kind of want to delve a little deeper, time pending). I will also be submitting this story as a novel to Bungie once it’s finished, so if you like it and want to see it published, too, let me know in the comments (that’s a long ways away though, so don’t wanna get ahead of myself — we’re not even to the halfway point yet). I look forward to meeting and speaking with any of the readers who are currently following along, as well as any new readers who find this work interesting. Make sure to follow my profile Azidamadjida, and check back in the Community Gallery every [b]TUESDAY[/b], [b]THURSDAY[/b] and [b]SATURDAY[/b] for new installments of Reef Mob! Sayonara for now Guardians, Azi
