Sorry if this is an overloadSad, but I've got a few questions.

 

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.

Thanks for making Bionicle spectacular.HappyNerd

Hi! I am Godlover1123 and I'm so excited to be able to talk to you! Thank you for answering our questions! I really enjoy what your doing, giving fellow kids (I am a kid.) the oppoutunity to talk with you! I have seen some of your comics, and tehy are really good! I have a few question's for you:

 

(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

Hey Greg, will you continue your story serials?

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?

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!

_______________________________________________ I meant it's weird because Kai's element is fire and his name in Japenese means water.


My first thought was Kai the fisherwoman in MNOGII. Joking


I didn't write this in the hopes of getting five likes. Joking I just thought that it was super obvious that a Ga-Matoran's name would mean water. Joking

Hello Greg (If I may call you that). I would love to commemorate you for making Ninjago. 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

So you do Ninjago too? Joking I did not expect it. Joking What is your job exactly with Ninjago? Joking


I write the Papercutz Ninjago graphic novels.


Just that? Did you have more to do when working with BIONICLE? Joking

 

And why does your Official rank have a silver background and black lettering? Joking


1) I wrote the comics and the novels for BIONICLE and for much of the time I was part of the story team.

2) No idea


1) So basically, yeah. Joking

2) ...ok, that says they've created the account for you... Joking

Ok, I've came back to disrupt your busy life by reading this post. Joking

1. What is your favorite Alternate Dimension? For your convienance, I will put down the semi-official names. Joking A. The Kingdom. B. The Toa Empire. C. The Melding. D. Spherus Magna.

2. What's your second favorite theme (the first of course being BIONICLE)?

3. Why is Lariska your favoirite Dark Hunter to write about (other than she's plain awesome Joking)?

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.
