Ugh. Okay, I'm REALLY frustrated right now. Yeah, sorry for the delay by the way. Unfortunately, it might take a bit longer. You see, I just finished reading Halo: Glasslands, which basically shows us what happened after MC blew up the Ark. Yeah, what happened after Halo 3 and most importantly to Dr. Halsey and the rest of Blue team. Yeah... I can finally see why a friend of mine quit writing for Halo. The canon is like water, constantly ripples, changes all the time. I'm trying to make the story as close to canon as possible, only with my own stuff, like characters and events, but I encountered the most popular problem of writing ahead of canon. When canon finally catches up, its not as quite as you imagined it would be. So yeah, what I wrote now doesnt work well with the canon. But fear not! I can fix it quite easily. I will not have to rewrite the whole story (thank god, one time was enough!) but I'm going to make certain key changes. Bear in mind that Glasslands is still in 2553 and there are some large events happening in that year and since the book was over before I found out what the hell's happening...I'll write my stuff until once again, the canon will fuck me up. So yeah, I'll make some key changes and post the new chapter along with it (50% complete but i need to change it TOO!). So be sure to check the older chapters for all the changes, since you just might be a bit confused! I'm trying to make my own story here, not ride the coattails of other characters like the Chief (as in, popping in Ray into the fights alongside Chief. No, thats NOT cool). I'm trying to make my own character, although he is a bit bland, I must admit, but then again, he's a Spartan...and I'm a lousy character creator, usually. So yeah, I really hope you enjoyed the story so far (the measly 10 - or was it 9? - chapters I wrote) and are still waiting for the new ones. Until I change the stuff, which is the next time ill update the story, see you later!
