Fallout: Days of Fire

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 1:37 am

I came up with this idea after my first playthrough of FO1. I was 10years old at the time (seriously) and I thought it would be cool to write a story in the FOU, but I hated reading and writing at the time. For ten years this idea has been sitting locked away in the furthest reaches of my mind. Bare in mind that I've just begun to write this story so if you think it is to short or too long let me.
One final note, I thought it would be interesting to present Fallout: Days of Fire as a series of Holotapes. Further more I am also entertaing the idea of telling two stories at once. Meaning writing out the adventures and what about the person who is listening to the Holotapes along with the one contained within the Holotapes. Tell me if you like this idea. Depending on the response, I just might do it.
So, with no further a due, here is Holotape #1...

Holotape #1: Introduction
What does it mean to be Hero? Fame and fortune, women and the best armor and weapons caps can buy? No, it means you have to live with the memories of all the killing and screams, love and loss, of betrayal and hope. To be a hero in the Wasteland, you gotta be a killer with a big gun. Being a hero isn't at all what it's cracked up to be. No, I'd have rather had to survive day to day then be the 'Hero' I am now. Hell, I still had to survive day to day, but I had the weight of the world on my shoulders.
I'll admit, though, that because of the killer I was, the world is safer now than it was back than. There is still marauding bands of Raiders and Slavers, Roving groups of Super-Mutants, as well as the occasionally Deathclaw nest, and the very rare sightings of Aliens and Fire Geckos. But it is safer.
My name is Eric Grayson, and I saved the world.

I dont really have the words to describe what I think, except make it longer.

Oh and to get a good Idea of a Fallout Fan Fiction story, read Life of a Wastelander, this guy named Dr. Strangelove wrote it, and I really like it and others like it to, so if your interested in something thats good and interesting, (Yours is good to just needs more work) then read that.

Very good idea, and it progresses nicely, but you could use a little work in the length department, I suggest adding a section about the actual characters in union with the holotape so it adds length and a second part to the story. Keep up the good work!

Exactly. Personally, it's hard for me to review something so small.
