Wolverfrog, I'm not criticizing you. But, you really shouldn't waste your time writing fanfic when you can be writing a substantial novel that many people beyond the depths of b.net will enjoy. I'm not saying that your fanfics are bad. Far from it. They're great. But, you really should be spending your time writing something original. Being hooked on fanfic for too long will make it harder for you to write something original, anyway.[/quote]
Thanks, but I'm doing fine. I regularly turn my hand to short stories, of which I've written a fair few. I barely consider [i]True Sangheili[/i] fan fiction, in all honesty. Halo's just the foundation for the story; the plot, characters and virtually everything would work just as well in an original novel with the smallest bit of tweaking. I'm still in education and still learning; I've got years and years ahead of me, and right now my priorities are largely those of a sixteen year old finding direction in life amid all the distractions that come with this age, and not of a grounded man seeking fame, fortune and artistic praise in writing. When I'm ready, have the time and the motivation, I'll probably write something original; I have a trove of ideas sitting on my hard-drive, and they'll keep awhile longer.
I appreciate your sentiment, but don't presume to know me or tell me what to do. I am not 'hooked' on fan-fic, and were it not for the people who enjoy this story or the fact that I strive to see through to the end what I started, I would have moved on long ago. This is just a medium for improvement and quick expression. I haven't expressed actual interest in [i]Halo[/i]'s universe for a long time, no matter how hard I've tried to rekindle said interest.
I see this novel as a novel, and nothing else. It's fan fiction, but there's little fanaticism involved.

Next chapter's coming along despite all the revision and other goings on right now. I don't think the wait will be quite two months, but you never know with me.
