Wil McCarthy

Wil McCarthy is a writer that worked on the Halo 2 promotional game, I Love Bees. He wrote a lot of the structure of the scenes, for example, he mapped out the whole first draft of Beat 11, Heroes. Maureen McHugh said that, "Wil's contribution is pretty invisible, but really important."

Alex Irvine, Wil McCarthy and Maureen McHugh wrote the first drafts of all the Axon Wavs, Sean Stewart wrote almost all the website text (although Maureen McHugh wrote most of the SP's communications when she was using pieces of your emails.)

Then Maureen McHugh would edit Wil and Alex's for continuity and stuff, and pass it on to Sean, then he would re-write it and then he and Elan would go over it line by line at 2:00 in the morning.
