For the Fan Fiction readers, we have two new stories:

• The Long Ride Home, part 10, by Joshua Barreto
• A Comedy of Peace, part 3, by Jason Pridgen

For the Fan Fiction authors, I'd like to take an opportunity to point out a couple of sites you guys should know about:

• Zenith - a site devoted to helping Fan Fiction writers be better at their craft. Check it out.
• The Halo Fan Fiction Project - A collection of writers attempting to recreate Halo as a novel. The project officially starts tomorrow!

And now back to your regularly schedules Sunday activities...

A new site for ya - Halo Installation 004. Lots of game info, gameplay tips, speculation. Not your average 'put up a bunch of screenshots and call it a site' site. (Now if only they didn't refer to us as 'official' in the links section... :) )

Gone for a long time, Bonk returns in style! Go visit iBonk.com, and check out the newest Teleporter Fun vid - pretty cool shooting, there...

Quick Fan Fiction functional update: there's a new link attached to each entry in the Fan Fiction section; if the story is part of a series, you can now read the series in its entirety. (The old 'more by this author' link is still there... but in some cases, this will bring up much more material than you'd like to read.) Hope this helps some of you!

Saturday's Fan Fiction:

• Rise To Honor, part 4, by Shadow
• The Hells of War, part 2 (formerly Tides of War) and Part 3, by Reiyou
• Halo: The Battles Beyond, part 1, by DVDMarine

All yours...

After the gnomes clean this up, they're gonna come looking for whoever made the mess... we wuz framed.

Today's Fan Fiction:

• Halo: The True Warrior, part 1, by Mike 'Halo Lord' Galazka
• The Brethren of Saturn, part 3, by Lynnada

Check 'em out!

Oddworld18 stopped by our forum to point out a warthog rendering he did. We've added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. The version available here is a QuickTime 5 movie - but the original is linked in the description (or in Oddworld18's forum post).

Vector40 ran across a couple of heretofore-unknown Halo links this evening... we've added them to our Links page. The first one contains one monster of a movie... but unless you're hell-bent on collecting every Halo movie out there, you can probably pass on it. (It's 440 mb, and it spends 28 minutes tooling around on Silent Cartographer. It's actually a pretty good display of what most tricksters have to go through at one point... I don't know how many times I said "hey, I did that!" when he died. :) ) The second one has general info (lots collected from here) and speculation. While we were updating the Links page, we added Ross Mill's Halo Ideas page, as well.

Heh - thanks to Psyrixx, who pointed out (in an oh-so-polite way) that the Bungie Store has restocked its supply of Halo Soundtracks - if you couldn't get your hands on one before now, go grab it! (Heck, if you already bought one, go buy another!)
