What do you think it should be? A remake or a completely new story?

My idea is that you should be an earth marine being sent of to mars for even harder duty. On arrival, you are surronded by dead bodies. You grab a pistol, some space marine armor, and have to fight your way to the hangar, because your ship is out of fuel. Of course, you encounter a lot of badies along the way. When you get to the hangar, you return to earth to discover that they're there too! A combo of Doom 1 and 2. Then, when everything is safe, a few remaining aliens have taken over a space station, and you are the only person willing to kill them all. Of course, there is a hard boss waiting at the end.

As far as the story thing goes you can always zap over to the Mythos Outpost and read mine........at least the first two parts.

I will even help ya over........ http://www.newdoom.com/mythos/

Maybe you should write up your story and submit it........sounds cool.

Yeah, you better do that, considering id Software would never accept fan fiction for their own. It'd be cool if they hired me as a writer...muahaha!

I'm working on it, I'm working on it! I can safely say it's more than half done. I am actually enjoying this work...I hope you guys will too, but you gotta be good fans of id, and gotta know who the people in there are. If you don't, just head over to that lovely New Doom FAQ! (http://www.newdoom.com/newdoomfaq.shtml)

BTW since Graeme Devine is the game designer, I guess he's the one who gets to plot out a storyline, so they don't need to hire a writer...*damn*

Good, good, good............cool. I'm looking forward to reading your stuff. I'm learning more everyday about the id dudes...but don't even think about quizzin me on it all.

So Zack will this have funny stuff and inside jokes like my Chain Reaction story over at the Mythos Outpost?

Nope. This is a REAL story! No NEWDOOM.com-related Easter eggs http://www.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif

Actually, I almost put you in the story, Doom_Dude, having hiked all the way from Canada to Texas to reply to John Carmack's email, but I took it out, because it didn't fit well with the atmosphere.

I think it's a funny story without any inside jokes anyway http://www.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif

Almost finished! More than 75% done, I'd say.

Oops. I put off working on the fanfic today to work on this code. It spells out all the numbers from zero to one million, and then puts them in alphabetical order.

Agh...but I stopped! The code works fine and it should be about four years before it's finished...that's why I halted it. I'm working on CacoPet, the fanfic, and my Doomathon now. I'm on Final Doom level 9. I always take a while on that level!

How is the Cacopet thing coming? Will there be a Vilepet too or will that be the mission pack?

Destr0yer is developing a Vilepet...or is it a Demon pet i dunno?

There's been no Cacopet progress since April http://www.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif But we'll see what happens after I get some graphics from DN
