Half Life Interquels and Midquels?

[Rukus.]

Anyone wanna get together and start a series of Half Life interquels or midquels? It would really only require stock HL2 resources, mappers, and voice actors. I thought it could be something to do while we wait for episode 3.

We would be working with new characters, no members of the current story arc would make a major appearance, unless of course they are vaguely mentioned in the story. I was thinking the first one would be a midquel/interquel that started off escaping from City 17 and topping off somewhere near White Forest. If not that a cinematic venture that takes place shortly before Freemans arrival on the train.

Heres the explanation of interquels and midquels to those who don't understand.

Interquel

When there are already two or more completed works, an interquel can portray events which happen between them, bridging one story to the other. The interquel is therefore a sequel to one work and a prequel to another. For example, the video game Metroid Prime and its sequels were released after Metroid and Metroid II, but take place between them. This is more common in ancillary works in other media rather than works in a popular series. For example, the novel The Godfather Returns takes place between the events of the films The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, and the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes place between Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.[

Midquel

A midquel is a sequel which can take place during a chronology gap within a single previously completed work. For example, the Narnia book The Horse and His Boy takes place during the reign of the Pevensie children, which happens towards the end of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Other midquels would be the films Bambi II, which starts out shortly after the death of the young deer's mother in Bambi but before the later scenes in which he is an adult; and Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, which takes place during Belle's initial captivity. The video game Resident Evil 2 takes place during a brief interlude in its sequel Resident Evil 3: Nemesis; the video game Daxter takes place during a two-year gap in Jak II, between the moments when the character of Jak is taken prisoner and when he is rescued. The film Saw IV takes place during the events of Saw III. The game Halo 3: ODST takes place during the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3 from an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper's perspective on Earth. In the Star Wars Expanded Universe, The Han Solo Adventures take place entirely within the events of the novel Rebel Dawn, which itself ends after the start of A New Hope.

Gotta bump because if you can't see it in the main section usually no one reads it.
