I cannot believe it, but I just saw a book on the shelf at Safeway for sale. "Halo" First Strike.
I guess the day of free fan fiction has come of age now. I often wonder whatever happened to all those long stories written by fans of Tribes on the old Tribes Players forum. Man that site was an active one, it had over a million Posts, and some of the fan writing was just increadable.
Well looks like authors are now cashin in on Halo, an inferior game to Tribes by a long shot, but still fun enough to keep ya coming back for more.
I was seriously considering buying the book, it seemed like it would be a good read, but the cost of it weighed against the need for medicine and my lack of funds told me no.
I wonder what other fan fiction has been converted from free to print? I wonder if there is a Tribes book or two out there. I should do a search for them. IF any one reads the Halo book let me know if it was worth it.
I mean I agree that the authors should get compensated for their work, and I support the leap from free to print, and I wish them all the sales in the world.
