    • Hello there,

Actually, forum postings were not used, but rather the information from the websites (that host the forums).

At least within the whole PlanetDoom community (and a few other websites) it is considered to be a "notable" fan fic. It was in the PD news when it first came out, and more than 600 people downloaded and read it.

The forums are mentioned as the "support group" that helped in the project's development.

The thing is absolutely free to distribute anytime & anywhere - GDFL.

If there is anything else to make the thing better compliant - tell me.

Edits[edit]

I just noticed the first edits on the page - yes, it is more accurate if the thing is noted as "fan fiction". I fully agree.

Nice job, guys :)
