Title: Request - Hard Light Fiction
Post by: Rampage on July 31, 2002, 10:10:10 am: I've had this idea for some time now, ever since the Hard Light Art forum was conceived by our loyal fans. I know that a lot of fans here are MPC (Mathematics Physics Chemistry) people (or logic-based people.). But with the conception of Hard Light Art brings out a new kind at HLP: the artistic kind. I myself is a MPC by birth but at the old age of 37, I have found a new interest in the fine arts. And through the computer renders I have seen here, I can tell that many people are also into the arts. I remember starting a thread titled "The Iceni Anthology Poetry Series" and others have started "Freespace Haiku Series" after me.

What I request is simple: Create a forum dedicated to fan fiction here at HLP. It may be fan fiction related to the Freespace series, the Homeworld series, the Starlancer series, the I-WAR series, etc. Anything related akin to the purpose of HLP.

I personally have a chapter that I want to post from my fictional autobiography Nothing to Lose of a GTVA fighter ace who grew up in a world dominated by the socialist-like NTF regime.

HLP admin., please consider my request and if Shrike or someone can post this as news, I would be delighted.

amen. There aren't too many writers in here.

Besides, it's art, so it can go to the Art forum

Why can't it go here or art forum?

Post by: Shrike on July 31, 2002, 12:01:34 pm: It's been tried. I attempted to set up a HLP fanfic database, but there simply wasn't enough content being generated.

The only reason we made an art forum was because there was a lot of art-type stuff being posted. But there is nowhere near the amount of fanfic being posted to seriously consider another forum for it.

Post by: Stryke 9 on July 31, 2002, 03:57:22 pm: If "fanfic" extends to anything of a SF/cyberpunk genre, I might have some stuff. But I tend to write A LOT when i've gotten myself started writing, so it might be a bad idea. And some of my stuff is really, really bad. As in REALLY bad. Dead dudes who don't know they're dead and ****.

Yep, read the blurb on the art forum guys - it doesn't specifically mean images. If you want an art forum then you've got one right there :)

Someone remembered me and my little site. Not that I've updated it in *counts fingers* two years? Maybe 3.

In any case, if you want to write stories and poems, go dump them on Warpstorm. (http://www.warpstorm.com) We're always open, even if we have to reopen after a while.

Post by: Rampage on August 01, 2002, 07:20:37 pm: When I'm finished with my encyclopedial fiction, I'll post all of its chapters in PDF format onto Warpstorm.

Here's to the critics and literary censors here at HLP! :p

Post by: Stryke 9 on August 02, 2002, 01:03:48 am: Don't ask me. I never finished the story. Got published anyway. One of the most embarassing things ever to happen to me.:rolleyes:

Damn editors, stealin' my stuff... gonna kill them all...
