Finishing notes

Creative writing is welcome as long as it is heavily rooted inside established C&C lore. Example:

1. It is alright to write that Mammoth tank blueprints were secured and reused by GDI.
2. It is not alright to write about hot Chandra-on-McNeil action. Just, don't.

Thank you for taking time to read.
