A word of advice: You seem a bit rough on the edges. Use emotes to tell us you're glad that you have fans instead of making it look like you just do this because you HAVE to.
About that last one: Remember, he can just quit if he wants to.

Wow just wow I never thought that a day like this would come. I mean when I saw this topic on announcements in the bio forum I was thinking Greg was going to tell us Bionicle is dead forever or some other bad news. Few things to say first. I've loved all your bionicle comics with the LEGO magazines. I liked the funny lines the charecters had. 1. Is toa Ignika alive? 2. If Ignika was alive when mata nui was in the mask were they like roomies? 3. Would Ahkmou ever become evil if he had the chance? 4. Do you ever read bionicle fan fiction? 5. Would you ever conisder createing a account on the lmbs your name should Velika!1) Ignika as a Toa does not exist anymore, it is back to being just a mask. 2) It is more like coats of paint -- Mata Nui's mind is on top of Ignika's. 3) Seems to me, based on his history, he already is pretty rotten. 4) No, I don't.
Oh I didn't know you would create a account here thought the mods would be speaking for you, 1) Can Ignika use the body mata nui was useing? 2) Does Hydraxon have any memories of being Dekar and does he feel any greif. 3) Can a vahki become self aware? 4) What was your favorite bionicle comic series?

I really loved your bionicle comics. THEY ARE COOL!(

One question,
Do you like working on your comics?
I do, but writing novels is easier.
LQ1998 wrote:
Do you ever get writer's block? If so how do you get over it?
I haven't ever had that too badly, but when I do, I find the best thing to do is to go do something that isn't writing for a while. I build a model or I read or I go driving or something. The writing part of your brain is a muscle like any other and it can be overworked. You need to rest it sometimes.

1. What's your favorite book genre (to read)?
2. Who is your favorite character from Chima and why?
3. What do you think is the best scene you've ever written?
And... umm..
4. Can you read the beginnings of my story (The Rizzo Files: a Legend of Chima) in the Chima forum? (I won't feel bad if you can't, just wanted to know...)
Well, that's it.
JammersThanks for making Bionicle spectacular.
1) History and mysteries
2) Worriz
3) I did a scene in a pre-LEGO book in which a guy gets killed and ends up in Death's waiting room. I liked that a lot.
4) I actually have a policy of not reading fan fiction

(1) Was it fun making your comics?
(2) How long have you been on the MB's?
(3) Are you a kid or adult?
(4) Last but not least, what is your favorite LEGO set?
Thank you again for what your doing here! I'll check in again later. -Godlover1123
1) Yes
2) Since late last week
3) I'm 47

scottster9 wrote:Hi Greg! You probably don't remember me, but I'm Aanchir from BZPower. So glad you are still finding ways to engage with the fans! I have loved your Ninjago and Hero Factory chapter books and your Ninjago graphic novels. I still haven't read your Legends of Chima books, but I've glanced at some of the stories in bookstores and many of them seem HILARIOUS!
So, questions:
1) Are you going to write any more Ninjago chapter books? I loved the ones you wrote in 2011, but was disappointed with the 2012 chapter book "Snake Attack!" because it was by another author and was just a novelization of some TV episodes rather than having original stories.
2) There are lots of Ninjago short stories that were published in Europe but never in America. Is there any way these will ever be published for American readers?
3) Who are your favorite LEGO Hero Factory characters to write?
4) In Hero Factory Secret Mission #3, are the jetpacks Rocka invented supposed to be the same kind as in the new Jet Rocka set?
5) What do you miss most about BIONICLE?
Hi - I have to answer this in two parts, because there were so many questions there were no characters left for my reply
1) I haven't been asked to do more at this time.
2) Depends on if someone decides to reprint them. Not my end of the biz.
3) Rocka and the villains, usually
4) No, because I didn't know about that set when I wrote the book
5) A lot of things. I spent so much time on that every year that it really left a void.
6) Which type of story do you prefer writing: silly stories like in the Chima books and some of the Ninjago books, or serious ones like in the BIONICLE and Hero Factory books?
7) How different is it writing comics than writing prose?
8) Will there be any more Hero Factory comics in the LEGO Club Magazine?
9) Some of your Ninjago stories like "Ice Ambush" and "The Real Hero" depict scenes also shown in the Ninjago TV premiere, but in greater detail. Are the added details things you came up with yourself, or are those scenes that got cut from the original TV special?
10) Did you write any of the Ninjago web content, like the weapon descriptions, character bios, or the "Explore Ninjago" section of the website?
11) Have you collaborated much with your old colleagues from the BIONICLE story team since BIONICLE ended? Are any of them working on Hero Factory, Ninjago, or Legends of Chima?
Sorry if these are a lot of questions!
6) Serious ones are easier.
7) When you write a story,you get immersed in it as you write. When you write a comic, you don't, because half of what you are doing is writing descriptions for the artist. So comics are harder.
8) Nothing planned that I am aware of
9) I really don't recall those stories, so it is hard for me to answer this.
10) No
11) Not much, no.

I love the show and have seen every episode and think you have done a wonderful job at letting CN make the show as well. Thank you very much for that. I actually love Ninja's so it was like a big huge YES and WHOOP to me when it came out. Thank you again -from Benjaminsports
I appreciate it, but I think you are giving me too much credit. I didn't create Ninjago and have nothing to do with the show. I just write the graphic novels.
