Title: Battlezone Novel
Post by: Le Jay on August 13, 2009, 06:37:38 AM
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.

[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.

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.
