Thirteen new stories this week in the Fan Fiction section – busy week!(Louis Wu 14:18:28 UTC)

So a few hours ago, Frankie stopped by to post a request for questions for tomorrow’s (today’s) Bungie Weekly Update; I’d planned to go to bed and post all the Halo news in the queue in the morning… but once I saw his note, I wanted to clear the que…
