In Response To: Re: Comming soon: REAL Marathon fanfiction (darky) Ray Bradbury? Nope.. what has he wrote? As far as a ongoing Marathon fanfiction story... ehhh..... I don't mean to sound iffy, but a ongoing story could risk falling into the traditional Scifi-FPS fan fic durge. What durge is this you ask? The one where (ive seen it with Doom fan fic <LOL>) where the battles become the focus of everything; causing indepth descriptions or references only a [insert fan type here] would understand. I know that Doom fan fic is a bad example, but its the only true case of a story being based solely upon a FPS game I know, regardless of how indepth the story of the game itsself is. A good example I would say is the Halo: FoR novel. Not being fan fiction, it's understandable that M$ and Bungie took threatened (I assume) violence if the story became too "im-reloading-my gun-as-the-blood-splashs-upon-my-face" ish; therefore not a good read for your average joe. Your other point mentioning how a story written for people who don't know Marathon does require some tedious background information to be worked in somewhere is true.
I do wish you the best of luck with your "Marathon Chronicles". -Ernie : But The Wasp Factory rules. : Incidently, I was thinking about undertaking a Marathon fanfiction project of
: I was going to call it "The Marathon Chronicles." Think about it.
