I still think that he the leader sould have had platinum/gold armor, but that's just me. No, i see that you didn't change it much from the preview you gave me, but i think you could've made it into a novel.

Oh, wow, you're right! Oops! It's been so long that I forgot that the planet in yours was named the same thing. I meant it to be symbolic as to the dramatic upturning of the main character's life that happen in that planet's system (much like the Covenant Cruiser Invisible Truth's name is symbolic). Oh well, since I read your series a while back, the name was probably sitting in the back of my head and that's why it came to me so easily. Oh well, ignore it if you must. Have you read the new parts yet?

Wow. Not very many fanfics catch my attention like this one. I'm looking forward to the rest of your series.

I am experimenting with many new techniques in this series. I will discuss them further on the comments page of the last part once it is released. I am experimenting with things like direct characterization instead of indirect and so on. Also, I made the parts shorter than you might be used to from me because I wanted to see if more people would read them if they were shorter (quicker, if you have as little time as me for this). Also, there are not that many parts in this series. There are only eight (I only had a limited window of opportunity to write this series because of the God-sent snow holliday, my next opportunity will be during spring break in my school system :( )

Actually, every part has more and more action until the final two, which are some of the more exciting combat scenes that I have ever written (I'd better stop before I give the whole series away:) ).

You may be right that I did a better job on characters' emotions in my other stories, but just stick with this series. I'm not going to go back and change the other parts since I've already written them and am satisfied, but I'm sure that this series has plenty to deliver. Trust me.
As for Specters, I will finish it, I promise. There was a problem though, because the story was going to end on Reach, but I recently read First Strike and it just ruined my whole ending idea, so I will have to rework it when I find the time.

I hate to disagree, however I have to, the story isn't horrible, but man where is the emotion, the flare that sets these stories apart, don't just go along monotone and talk constantly in a past tense.

Alright, I read it, and I love your writing style and description, it is very proffesional. Keep it up, Mad!

You should really try writing from a Human's point of view. I'd be happy to do a joint series with you! :D

P.S - Whatever happened to the series you started before?

Thanks for the comments. I have in fact already written the entire series, but I am simply waiting to post each part periodically (The Iron Hands of the Prophets(Part 2): Secrets should come out as soon as my internet gets back up, as I am typing this from another computer). Oh, and I forgot to post this part's title *kicks himself.* It is The Iron Hands of the Prophets (Part 1): Fate. I left off Fate. Anyways, I'll sit and pray that my computer will fix itself so that I can post Part 2.
