Has anyone ever attempted to dramatize the events of the Battlezone games into a coherent novel?

Also, off topic, hello once more, and sorry for vanishing, people who probably do not recall me at all.

[off topic] congrats, your first post out that does not contain brackets :P. yeah I remember you [/off topic]

Well, that would actually sound like I great idea. With all the storylines people post - sure something could be compiled

[Oh, I knew there was something I forgot.]  =P

I kid, I kid.  Finally learned that carrying that habit around was offputting, sorry for any annoyance it may have cause int he past.  ^_^;

Anyway, on topic, I was refering to something a bit more official.  Maybe something published and all that awesome stuff.

I'm a writer, I have several projects on the go at once (though only one is getting anywhere atm). I did consider writing a BZ novel, a story or series of stories spanning from BZ1 all the way through to FS, as it happens, but I decided to be careful and contacted Activision, Pandy and Atari before I started. None of them ever replied to me.

There's some fanfiction out there, but none of it will ever become a full work because of copyright problems... its not your story, after all.

Sorry to put a damper on things.

Did you even click that link?

He got his lawyers on them and has full permission. It is on the final editing stages and will be published as soon as he gets a company to dig it. 140,000 words of loosely-moderately battlezone-based goodness.

yeah, I did click the link, but i didnt have time to read much. Got about three posts down before I had to stop.

And I'm gonna have to look out for that now :D

Le Jay

Awesome.  I'm suprised though, I was thinking of writing it myself.  Instead, I simply can't wait to read it.

I wonder if people from Activision know that we're here doing stuff like this.
