This is not a chapter, it is more like a prelude explaining what you're about to read.
On several Smosh videos, we have been told that Ian used to write Halo fanfiction as a kid, and post them online. It's hard to find them, but they actually do exist. The website he has posted them on is rather bad in my opinion. So I decided to post them all here.
It won't let me post the URL, but I'm sure I can give it to you in a PM.
Side note: Ian has horrible grammar. I am going to fix it all in the chapters too.
