Seriously?
No, seriously, this is the introduction and it is serious. Yes, seriously.
This will be a series of short, humorous drabbles dealing with the…quirks…of the HALO canon. Don't take it seriously.
I never thought I'd do one of these. I'm more of a serious writer, or at least I always have been until now. Each of these laugh fics will be very short, but hopefully very funny chapters within a framework of the size I haven't yet determined. I will be making this up as I go along, replaying the games, visiting old cutscenes, nitpicking, criticizing, and just plain poking fun at certain parts of the storyline I find rather amusing. No game or novel or whatever will be immune. It's all fair game to me.
Don't get me wrong: I love HALO.
But the simple fact is that just like anything else, HALO has its cheesy and/or unintelligible moments and they are ripe for the picking. You'd think with the amount of hard science aspects employed in this sci-fi themed storyline, it would be pretty believable. For the most part, it is. Oh, and very enjoyable and entertaining, let's not forget. Its foundations and storyline is very well defended by sci-fi norms and industry standards, but it is not completely defensible. Heehee.
This is where these ficlets come in: to exploit it all and make it laughable in the meantime.
As of now, I envision these brief pieces to be a mix of different points of view. I cannot be sure of how often and when updates will come, but when they do I promise I will have done my best to make you laugh. Or at the very least put a smile on your face.
So, sit back, read, laugh, point and snicker, and enjoy.
