<div class="IPBDescription">My first fan fic</div> Firstly, this is still work in progress and will have many changes as time goes on. I will be creating a website soon to host this and other fan fics, but please read this and comment as you see fit. All help, comments and changes will be gratefully received, including typo's.
Thankyou

There are many people I would like to mention at the start of this piece, as I feel that the ideas and inspiration I got from them deserves a mention before the story, rather than at the end.
The first person has to be Charlie Cleveland for giving us the wonderful game that is Natural Selection, and for providing us with many, many hours of online fun.
I would also like to extend many thanks to KB|Spawn and the rest of Team-KB for getting me into the game in the first place, and teaching me how to die, very often!
There are many pieces of fan fiction that I read over at the Natural Selection Forums, which really got me interested, but there is one piece of work that made me want to write my own story. It had me gripped from the start, and I can’t wait for it to be finished!!! What is that piece? I hear you cry! That piece is Natural Selection - Monster. Quite possibly one of the finest pieces of fiction I’ve ever read, fan based or not.
It was all very well and good wanting to write a story, but what did I know about the history of Natural Selection? Well, actually, nothing. That’s where Gates, Moon and Stars came in. It provides the reader with the background required to fully understand this story. Gates, Moon and Stars is the definitive history guide to the world of Natural Selection, and as such was where I took the basis for the technical and historical aspects of my story. Please read this marvellous historical study of the Natural Selection universe from 2000 to c.2200. In fact, read as many of these great fan fiction stories and histories as possible, for the greatest background on the greatest game of all time.
Please note that this story is written with the idea that readers already have background knowledge of Natural Selection, in that they know what the aliens look like and how they operate.
Thankyou

Whatever, story beginning to get a bit out of hand now, ideas coming by the bucketload, it's just trying to keep them within the frame of the story thats the problem. Have loads of inspiration for where i want this story to go, just need to be a bit more confident and descriptive in my story, not go the tension, the drama and the suspense that i want, oh well nevermind. This is my first attempt at writing a story since i left school, all those years ago!!
I was always one that liked writing storys, shame they was always crap rofl.
Any comments? Any Corrections? I sure as hell know that this isn't pefect, so if you spot any errors, or have any comments for improvement, please let me know.
Thanks
Back to the drawing board I go!
On initial impression, I must say this is looking very good <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Keep it up.
That's fine <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I was just waiting for some confirmation, so I'll go through it and get back to you when I've finished <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
