1) I have missed answering fan questions, so yes. 2) Well, BIONICLE was created before I came to work at LEGO, so not something I an expert on. 3) The overall plot of Ninjago is not written by me, it's done by LEGO folks in Denmark and the TV writers. I just do the graphic novels.
Well, you do a good job on the graphic novels. How long does it take you to make one of those? 
GREG FARSHTEY!
Seriously, growing up, you were one of the most mentioned people in my entire household. You're pretty famous throughout my family.

Hi - To be honest, I didn't pay that much attention to the BIONICLE Stars series, since it was just re-releases of old characters and there wasn't much I could do with it, story-wise.
Good. If it was you that made the so-called "storyline" of the Stars, you would officially un-become the awesomest writer in thw rodl.
Uh... he wrote Journey's End...
, but I am amazed to be talking to a professional worker! I was wondering, how long have you been a fan of LEGO?

If you can friend Mods, then I'm pretty sure you can friend Officials.
Thanks to your post, he'll be getting several hundred friend requests in the next hour.
I don't know if we can friend mods.
Dunno, If you want to know who the Mods like best, just check the "Likes Given" on their Profile.
That's not true. I have lots of likes from mods, but that is because they like my posts that I welcome users with on the welcome forum. That doesn't mean they like me, I am probably one of their least favorites since I get in fights a lot.
1 question,
( greg only )
Being able to come up with designs like that? And the story lines? Like I said, why are you so awesome?
HOW MANY ISSUES OF THE NINJAGO SERIES IS THERE GOING TO BE?

This is my first day hearing of Greg. So please excuse my ignorance. But I have some questions for you Greg.
1. Can you give us some tips on how to write good stories?
2. Will there be anymore Ninjago sets? Episodes maybe?
3. This is the last one, when will Chima ONLINE open beta come out?
1) One of the important things is to treat your characters as real people, in a way. If you try to force them to do things in your story that they wouldn't normally do, then it becomes hard to write, because they stop being predictable. And predicting what they do next is part of your job as a writer.
2) Yes and yes.
3) Don't know

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.
2-4) I just got on the message boards for the first time today, so I am still learning about what is here.
5) They asked me.

1. Will you continue The Yesterday's Quest and Powers That Be?
2. Where could they be continued?
1) I don't have plans to right now.
2) As far as I know, there is no place where they could be continued.

1) Yes, very well. 2) That was so long ago I don't remember. 3) It was basically overlaid, sort of like if you put one coat of paint over another coat of paint. The first coat is still there, you just can't see it.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!
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.
