[QUOTE=Mooman;19064303]Does that mean I should go back and edit his name or is it not that big of a deal?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately it means that if Sheppard is your mian character then your story won't be accepted.

Entries are closed (they have been for some time). We'll be counting and sorting entries soon and hopefully have the winner figured out by New Years.

Damn. This sounds awesome. I wish I'd seen it sooner... If you guys make another, can you pm me about it? I love writing stories, and am working on a novel length one during my freetime.

No problems.

[QUOTE=Maloof?;18845061] You may not use the principal cast of the [B]Halflife series[/B] in your lineup of main characters. You may, however, use them in minor roles. [/QUOTE] Opposing force is not part of the half life series. its in the halflife universe :O loophole excuse

[QUOTE=Mooman;19078849]Opposing force is not part of the half life series. its in the halflife universe :O loophole excuse[/QUOTE] It is. Half Life 1 series: Half Life, Blue Shift, Opposing Force Half Life 2 series: Half Life 2, Episode One, Portal, Episode Two

[QUOTE=Zuimzado;19079011]It is. Half Life 1 series: Half Life, Blue Shift, Opposing Force Half Life 2 series: Half Life 2, Episode One, Portal, Episode Two[/QUOTE] But you dont need to play OP BS or portal to understand the story

It might not be considered canon by Valve (unless they decide it it, it's a rather strange situation) due to the fact that it's created by Gearbox, but for the purpose of this competition we're considering it to be a story set within the Halflife universe, thus it is part of the series. Sorry dude, but rules are rules. Zui, I've got 2 entries. I think I should send you mine and you should send me yours.

I think I'll post my story I did for school homework that's based on half life 2, what do you guys think?

Wait, since entries are closed, did I make it?

We had 8 entries. Maloof, I'm sending you 2 entries I received, ok?

[QUOTE=Zuimzado;19081878]We had 8 entries. Maloof, I'm sending you 2 entries I received, ok?[/QUOTE] Send me them all. We'll each pick out three favourites and then share opinions and pick which one we think is worthy.

I hope I win.

Please extend the date. I got fucked out of working on it because I had to go to my Uncle's for a week(No Computer) I'll turn it in tomorrow. [b]Edit:[/b] DONE!

When's the winner going to be announced?

Before New Year. After XMas.

Damnit, I should have been here sooner, as soon as I found this thread, I had a great short story idea using... Damnit, what I was going to use was a none valve produced game... I feel like an idiot now...:smith:

Crap, I was going to enter with a story about the Bedouin people in Morocco during the storms but I missed it.

You should announce the winner tommorow. FP's Christmas treat.

Oh and when you do, add their story in.

I'll contact Maloof. I already choosed my choice and my personal favorite. Also, I gave one story a "close but no cigar" rating. Also, Maloof is giving 5 dollars and I am giving 5 dollars. Anyway we can get those together to buy the game and gift it?

Unfortunately with christmas approaching I haven't had time to read through the entries. New Years treat?

[QUOTE=Maloof?;19178843]Unfortunately with christmas approaching I haven't had time to read through the entries. New Years treat?[/QUOTE] If we can find a way to get my 5 dollars and your 5 dollars before New Year... Yeah.

Are you going to say just the winner or the places as well? (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc?)

[QUOTE=Samiam22;19207398]Are you going to say just the winner or the places as well? (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc?)[/QUOTE] Just the winner at this point.
