: So... I have a submission, but it bends the rules a bit... well, a lot, in a
: few ways :)
: 1) It was written years ago
: 2) It takes place in the 2800's
: 3) It's not my hometown
: 4) Focus is more on progression of AIs than the "city of the
: future"
: hehe

: So, maybe it doesn't qualify as a submission, and that's fine. However, I
: thought it nicely followed the theme at least of human life in the
: future; and who knows, it could be my future hometown...

: It's a short story written about a minor character from my ARG in 2009, and
: was published in HBO's fanfic section, but has undergone a few updates and
: revisions since then.

: So for what it's worth (please bare with the sub-par writing, haha) - here's
: a story about the "Flat-Faced Man": ( source )

Yeah... I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable including this given how much it strays from the subject and because it was already written. Ideally, I'd like to see VTHU encouraging people to write new stories. :)

That said, I really enjoyed reading that. Lots of great ideas tossed around, and it got me thinking a lot more about the state of AIs in Halo's fiction.
