Nope, no affiliation with HBO other than Fan fic... It may seem like I act 'superior' or whatever, but that is because I actually know what I am talking about, unlike a lot of people...

Overall, my initial judgement on someone is how they approach someone elses work...If they consturctively criticis(sp) someone elses work, I generally believe them to be a good writer themselves... If they seem to endlessly thrash someones hard work, I generally think they are an ass, to be frank.

Anthony, have you some kind of connection with HBO? 'Cause you make it seem like you are almost, well, the symbol of authority around here. Maybe you have something with HBO, but otherwise it's confusing me. Not everybody here is exactly a newbie (I know I kinda am, I've only been here for about two, maybe three months). And not everybody needs to be shown how to write (I know for sure that Wado doesn't).

Anyway....nevermind.

No prob. Anthony, can't wait for more - and you write substaitialy better than many others I have read so it is good to show others your skill, but don't get carried away and lose the essence of the story.

Ohhhhhhh... what can I say?

That REALLY hits the spot.

Reeks of a professional authenticy, and with promise of the most violent and titanic clash yet in the next parts of the series.

Wonderful!

Very and highly original. Even for a prologue, I found extremely deep in descriptions and am awaiting more...although, personally, I HATE prologues, since they tend to be boring with some people and just repeat everything we already know...it makes me feel like they think we're stupid. What a sad world...

Anyway, before I burst into tears, I might as well say that I enjoyed the prologue. Looking for more...although that title is incredibly familiar...

What is so familar about the title? I have never seen a fanfic, book, or movie titled End Game...anyways, no biggie...

Matt, in regards to your post, my TFoR is at my friends house so I was unable to get the direct qoute from the source...

Also, I decided to make a come back (I have been slaving away prepping for a tourney on the 12th) to show all these newbies here how to write...

Nice work matt... YOu managed to find a needle in a haystack, though this was pretty short and it was a small haystack.. But a small needle as well... I hate that quote (the needle one). Nice enough, but I hate the title... Very original (sarcastic in regards to the title)...

You probably haven't seen some of my comments for other fan fics but, usually I can find many things to complain and bitch about because alot of fan fics are very sloppy and the writers don't know very much about the "halo universe." blah blah blah,... anyway I would like to congratulate you on a great, no that would be an understatement, perhaps "fan tastic" fiction. You obviously have read The Fall of Reach and know what you are talking about,... thank god. there is one very small detail/problem that I would like to pin down. At the end when you are talking about quote "Hopefully, they were lives USED, not wasted." I assume that you are refering to "The Fall of Reach" when Chief Menedez was talking to John 117 when the Spartan II's were gratuating from their training. I belive he(Chief Menedez) used the word "spent" not the word 'used'. This detail has virtually no impact on the story but i thought i would tell you anyway.


I am eagerly awaiting more.

A very good script, I like the human prepwork, the orbital MACs will easily be able to eliminate the cov. fleet, I hope you know. You've probably planned for that though. Keep it up.

Hmmm, can't think of much to say for this one, it was so short. That's not necessarily bad, being a prologue and all. Ok job of creating a foreboding atmosphere. You seem to know your stuff, I'm looking forward to the next installment. Love the title.
