SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

Okay, I've got  5 questions

 

1. Which theme was/is easier to write for, HF or Bio?

 

2. Have you ever thought of writing a story or book in first person?

 

3. What's your favorite book, (any book, my favorite is "Catching Fire" by Susane Collins).

 

4. Do you enjoy hero Factory even though the story isn't at quite the same level as Bionicle?

 

5. Have you ever made up a really advanced story in your mind, and then not known how to write it out?  I have, So aggravating!

Greg, at the moment which theme do you prefer writing about, ninjago or hero factory. And before bionicle was canceled and they made stars, do you have any idea what the set outline was.


Hi Zach - Both have their appeal, but since the HF novel series has ended, I am only writing Ninjago and Chima right now. And we got the word on BIONICLE in September of '08, so no work had really begun on 2010 sets yet. We were actually meeting to discuss possible ideas for the 2010 movie when the news broke.

A job well done would be me finishing the serials, and no time -- and no place to post them -- equals no time and no place to post them. The company wants me focusing on Ninjago and Chima and things that are active now.

1) I won't, most likely

2) No, he wasn't. To be regenerated in the red star, you have to have a body to be teleported there. His body turned to energy.

1) Good question. In some ways, BIONICLE was easier, because it was a game with rules -- you knew what you could and couldn't do, you knew where the overall plot was heading, etc. HF basically had no rules, because it had so little backstory -- which was scary, but also fun, because you had enormous freedom to go where you wanted to with it.

2) Tried a few times, because I like books in first person, haven't been able to pull it off yet.

 

3) Not sure I have an absolute favorite. One of my favorites is a book called The Pyrates by George Macdonald Fraser, which is one of the funniest books I have read.

 

4) The story is not at the same level, no, but if you read the HF novels you see it had the potential to be. But a complex, epic story is not right for every line.

 

5) I have had stories I started and then they went nowhere. But I generally do not plot out stories in my head first, because that makes the actual writing boring for me.

 

Good questions, Seastar, I enjoyed answering them!

Mr. Farshtey?

 

I don't blame you at all if you missed this (you're obviously very busy!) but could you answer my questions, please? They seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle...

 

Thank you!

 



1) He would have to go back to being a Matoran. Hydraxon is not connected to an element.

2) No

3) Possibly, yes

4) They are still a viable organization

5) Good question. I believe the capability had to have come from the GBs, which means they were intended to play some worthwhile role in the universe.

6) I have heard the same things you have. That whole Kapura thing comes from the original story bible and I never heard an explanation of what the payoff was supposed to be for it.


Thank you for answering! I wonder what role the Rahkshi were intended for... security, maybe?

 

I have a few more questions:

 

1. When did Velika enter the MU? Did he help the other GB's to construct the Great Spririt Robot, then enter it as it was taking off?

 

2. The Order of Mata Nui planted one fake "Toa Disk", with Nuhrii's mask on it, to help decieve Teridax. I've often wondered - why did they only do this with Nuhrii? Did they think that it was sufficient to only make one fake Toa Disk?

 

3. Seeing as you worked on The Legend Reborn - do you know why Gelu was left out of the movie?

 

4. This is just for fun - do you have a favorite color?

 

Thanks!
