  2. I vote for this to stay.

    Go ahead, we'll try to offer criticism and advice to the best of our ability (Which isn't very high, but hey).

    I think it can stay here. I'd be interested in reading it, since I already wrote a book set in the world of M2033 (also non-canon, considering it takes place in a fictional city) though I haven't uploaded it anywhere yet. And it's in Polish... so there's that.

    I've been a writing tutor for about a year now and this is the style of writing I enjoy most, so I'd be happy to take a look at it for critique or simply for pleasure, if you'd like. Keep it here.

    Well, unfortunately we don't have anything to wait for because 2035 is already out :p
    And I've always been thinking that this forum generally is for the game and the book, but what the hey, where else should he post it? :D

    I like to think I give good critique. And it's not like there's much else going on here, anyways.

    I think all Dark Ones are united, so if some wanted to fight back, they'd all fight back. Buuuut I'm just guessing.

    Metro 2035 is not out yet, even though we had official sources (including the game Metro: Last Light itself, as you probably remember) ages ago claiming that it was scheduled for December 2013. New sources suggest that the book will be out near the end of 2014. Whether that happens or it gets pushed back even further is another matter altogether, but it certainly hasn't been released yet. :)

    Well, you can do whatever you want really since it is not canon. However, if you'd like to make it as canon-friendly as possible, then the idea of the Dark Ones choosing to wipe out the human race seems a bit far-fetched. :p Nevertheless, even with all of the exposition from two games and two novels, the Dark Ones are still really enigmatic. I guess that's what makes them so interesting, but still there is plenty of narrative potential in exploring more of what that is all about - assuming you could replace the mystery surrounding the Dark Ones with a fascinating story. ;)

    Yeeeeeah, I realized that today when I was reading the thread about Metro 2034 being released in English over again. Must've mixed the two of them.
