Ok Mr Farshtey, I have one question for you.  Who were the great beings?  And did they have anything to do with that one scene in Bionicle: The Legend Reborn when Mata Nui was in the cave?

Hi Fivepack -
1) Once I started writing books for Hero Factory, I got a lot more into it.
2) Kopaka
3) I answered an ad
5) I am not aware of a mutated Brutaka set that wasn't released. That sounds like a fan rumor.

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 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.

Hi greg.

 

Well I found on the Bionicle Power web site an interview with a set designer about the Mutated Brutaka set and they weirn't going to release it  because it didn't fit with the story is true?

I'm I allowed to ask another question? If so here are some:

 

  1. What was your favorite alternate universe of Bionicle? Personally I like the Kingdom.
  2. Looking back on Bionicle, is there anything you would have changed or done differently in the story?

I have a question: WHY DID BIONICLE HAVE TO END!?!?! Ok, maybe a different question is called for. Joking What other stories for LEGO are you currently working on? Is it for a new theme or one that exists? Happy

Right now, I am mainly busy working on magazine/web stuff. I am not involved on the story end of things right now.

He is the one that made BIONICLE and Hero Factory.

 

@ Greg Farshtey: What are the plots of the Ninjago books called "Warriors of Stone", "Kingdom of the Snakes" and "Destiny of Doom"?


Well, two of them you could read and find out, or else check out the plot descriptions on Amazon.
