The ongoing fan fiction from the forum of the same name has been sorted through, tidied up and put into one massive word document by the dedicated guy known as The Veteran.

At the moment, it's available for download (zipped naturally, half a meg downloaded hundreds and hundreds of times soon adds up on the bandwidth meter) from the following location: Click Here!

It's a gigantic story (by most fanfic standards) and now it's yours to own on paper for the very first time! smile.gif

A link will be appearing on the fan fic main page soon, but at the moment my machine is being silly at me, so make do with the above link. Thanks to The Veteran, oh, and the other many contributors (thought I'd forgotten eh?). Enjoy!

Cheers Pete. It took a while but it's finally up!

Enjoy people, it's a much easier way to read the fic than to do it online and although 167 pages is a lot to print off your school or office won't mind... :rolleyes:

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Fan-fiction! (it's short for fantastic!)

To decrease page numbers try the following:

1. Reduce font size from 14 to 12. This reduces the number of pages from 167 to 129
2. Change font to Franklin Gothic Book (increases by one page, but is easier to read at the reduced font size)
3. Alter the margins on the word document to about one and a half centimetres all round the edges and you're down to 117 pages wink.gif
4. Print on both sides and you're down to 59 pages.
5. Or you could just go through the post on the forums and read that, or the word document without priting it wink.gif

And for anyone who hadn't copped on, this is the X-COM Apocalypse collaborative fiction, not Enemy Unknown.
