Hello Greg! I am not to much of a fan of your books or Bionicle (The first time I opened a bioncle package I got into a super bad car crash. I mean, exactly as I opened it. Bad expiennce!), and I dont watch TV so I want able to see your series Ninjago, but I was able to catch some of the seasons on YouTube. I have to say, they were pretty good.

 

How did you come up with such good character traits? Any reason why you picked the name "Ninjago"? Did you have any idea what your plot would grow into?

 

Somee other questions: I am a big fan of Star Wars. Are you?    I am writing a new book on a Verpine Jedi called Beyghor Sahdett. (The Verpine are a specis of insects that are interligent from SW). Any idea what I shoudl call the book?

Here is another question: Have you always been a writer, or were you something else before that?Thinking


I have been a sports writer, a game writer/editor, a copywriter, and then a writer/editor at LEGO. So I have pretty much always been a writer.


What sport did you write about?


Mainly high school sports -- football, basketball, baseball and soccer.


Awesome! I would love to be a sports writer(I love sports)! I watch them a lot and would play them if my school had sports(my school doesn't have ANY sports)Sad.

1) I met you shortly after that contest, because of that contest. My brother was one of the winners.

2) Ha ha! Okay.

3) Interesting...

Thanks! Happy

 

And one more question... Who picked Matoro to be the one to save Mata Nui? You?

And why Matoro?


I did, yes. And I picked Matoro because he felt that he wasn't doing enough to be a hero ... he didn't really feel worthy of his power. So I thought it would be cool if he did the most heroic thing of all.


Hello Greg! 

 

Have you played LEGO Universe?

Mr. Greg........................... I can't believe your really here, I loved the Bionicle comics, and I nearly cried when they ended, so my question for you is this, will it ever come back? (I know other people asked it) Oh, and I wanted to say another thing, YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!Heart

Since you made ninjago, does that also mean you made chima?

Today started out as any normal day... I had a wierd dream and slept in late. I then checked out the BIO forum as usual, only to make a shocking discovery: IT'S GREG FARSHTEY IN PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!

I slapped myself multiple times to see if I was dreaming, but alas, THIS IS A MIRACLE!

I just wanted to tell you I am a dedicated fan of BIONICLE, and do love your works. The plot twists and character depths really inspire me as an author myself.

Anyways, question time!

1. When I write BIONICLE stories, it is hard to put Chuteseak/Treespeak in it. I know you never liked it, but any tips on what fits and what doesn't?

2. Were you dissapointed that BIONICLE was sceduled to end earlier?

3. You were said to be able to finish The Powers That Be, but now there's no more BIONICLEstory.com for you to post it on. If you were able to get it up, where would you put it?

That's all my baffled head can think of now...


I think I might've been answered, but never adressed...

Hi Greg! Happy

 

It's great to meet you!  I have all of the Ninjago graphic novels (always buy them the day they come out. Wink), and was wondering how many more you're writing for 2014. 

 

Also, is Zane going to be the main villain, or is it another group of Nindroids?

 

Thanks! Happy
