IF YOU WRITE FAN FIC - READ THIS
ATTENTION - ALL FAN FIC WRITERS: Effective immediately, and for the period of two weeks, the Fan Fiction section is closed for submissions. (There are 16 stories in the queue right now - those will be posted in the near future.) Any stories that arrive between now and 00:00 UTC, February 26, 2003, will be ignored. They will not be posted after that point - I do NOT have the resources to keep track of submissions during this timeframe. Some MAJOR changes need to be instituted; there is simply too much material coming in, and most of it, frankly, is crap. I'm getting demoralized formatting it. Suggestions are welcome, and I'll do some thinking as well. That is all. (Louis Wu 22:59:01 UTC) (permalink)
Butterfly Ball?
Lorraine Reyes-McLees illustrates the recent Pentathlon article as only she can... poor Jason. (Louis Wu 19:03:02 UTC) (permalink)
What to know when you're writing
A long time ago, vector40 wrote a guide for Fan Fiction authors on filetypes, and what you should think about when submitting fiction here. It was hosted at Zenith, a site devoted to Fan Fiction authors that has since gone under - but vec has dredged up the piece for the edification of current writers. Worth a read, if you're submitting stories to us. (Louis Wu 13:39:53 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Action Figure Info
HomeLAN has a Q&A with Chris Huisman, product manager for Joyride Studios (the guys that are making the Halo collectibles) posted. They're shooting for a July release for these products, and from the interview it sounds like there'll be plenty of detail to the figurines... but I wanna know... who's this guy? (The linked image at the top of the article is HUGE - 2.2 mb, and almost 3000x2000 pixels. Nice view of three models!) (Louis Wu 09:38:46 UTC) (permalink)
Wasted Water, and Wallets With Legs
Two new pieces at Bungie.net - A rundown of the Bungie Pentathlon 2003 (the Bungie Pentathlon is an annual beat-the-hell-out-of-your-coworkers event at Bungie), and a new Soapbox article from Matt Soell—the first in over a year—on what, exactly, the Bungie Way is all about. Both worth reading - nice to see Matt's writing for the public again. (Louis Wu 09:27:18 UTC) (permalink)
Big Money in Michigan
Steve Messinger writes to let us know of another Halo Team Championship tournament. (We mentioned their last event a few months ago.) This one is taking place on March 22nd, in East Lansing, MI. Entry fee is $10/person, and the field is limited to 50 teams. Microsoft is helping to sponsor the event, and there are over $4,000 in cash and prizes. Take a look if you're in the upper midwest!
