GREG FARSHTEY!!! WOW WOW WOW!!! My Question is can you tell me how to make stories more exciting?
Thanks
Regarding the Avohkii inscription, given that it was likely not made by Hapka would you consider it to be a canon example of archaic Matoran? The book has been deemed "semi-canon" by BS01, so I could understand if it isn't as well.
Also, I was considering asking my next question before, but it slipped my mind when I wrote my last post. Sorry about that.
Anyway, back in October Erebus stated that the only thing we could get canonized would be prefixes and maybe, just maybe, new elements. (For those of you unaware who are reading this post, we now have all the elemental prefixes--Vo for Lightning, Su for Plasma, Fa for Magnetism, and Bo for the Green.) Erebus struck out that part of the message within two days of posting it. So I must ask: are there any additional natural Toa elements beyond the 15 we know of? I realize that new elements have been a topic of intense debate over the years, and if you prefer not to answer then by all means, please don't do so.
Thank you once again for this opportunity.

No. As I said, Book 8 is 2013 story, and there are no nindroids in 2013 story

Well, why do you feel they aren't exciting now, and do your readers agree?

Greg, here's a new mask (power) I've made up for my fan fiction: Mask of Variation/Appearance: Whenever a Matoran transforms into a Toa by using a Toa stone, it will have the appearance that it believes a Toa should have. The Mask of Variation/Appearance enables a Matoran that has started believing in other appearances a Toa could have, to change its current appearances as a Toa. However, the mask can’t change a Toa’s appearance as long as it believes its current appearance is the only appearance a Toa could have. A Toa Hordika, a Turaga and other changed Toa can be given a new appearance by changing the appearance the being had in its normal, pure Toa form. But it can't remove the mutations or make the being look like it isn't mutated at all. The mask can also change the appearance of masks (others and itself), as long as the wearer of the mask believes it still looks like an actual Kanohi mask. 1) Do you think it has enough weaknesses and limitations? 2) And do you think it would be logically for a mask like this to exist?
I am a little confused by it. We already know that Matoran turn into what they think a Toa looks like, so I am not sure you need a mask to accomplish this.

I believe the inscription was related to the movie script, not Hapka.
Back when I was on BZP, we had discussed this and the fact that there really was no need to add yet more Toa elements into the picture.
Hi Greg I have a few questions for you.
1. Was Ninjago originally going to be replaced by Chima?
2. If you brought BIONICLE back what would you like the theme to be?
3. Did you want to keep the BIONICLE story line going?
4. Who was your favorite character in BIONICLE?
5. Which do you prefer, Hero Factory or BIONICLE?
6. Is there a way to find any of your BIONICLE stories on the Internet?
Thank you for your time.

Yeah, but what when a Toa sees other Toa which look completely different, starts to believe their appearances are true and possible and wants to look like them? Then the Mask of Variation/Appearance can change the Toa's appearance!

That mask just sounds like a Mask of Illusion with tons of limitations.

Hello, Mr. Farshtey! Or should I call you Greg?

Sorry for so many questions, but I am pretty curious.
1) Well over 80 now
2) I don't read fan fiction, no
3-4) No, I haven't. I mainly read history and mysteries in my free time
5) No
6) 13 years
7) Probably Toa, they have more powers
8) A lawyer
9) Yes. Read a lot and write a lot. You only get better at writing by doing it, just like any other form of exercise.
I'm chuckling here over number 8.
Greg On the side papercutz there is already book 9 but there is very plot without the title and the cover. when will the title and the cover appear?

I rewrote the story, read it again, and you'll probably understant it:
Mask of Variation/Appearance: Whenever a Matoran transforms into a Toa by using a Toa stone, it will have the appearance that it believes a Toa should have. The Mask of Variation/Appearance enables a Toa that has started believing in other appearances a Toa could have, to change its current appearance as a Toa. However, the mask can’t change a Toa’s appearance as long as it believes its current appearance is the only appearance a Toa could have. A Toa Hordika, a Turaga and other changed Toa can be given a new appearance by changing the appearance the being had in its normal, pure Toa form. But it can't remove the mutations or make the being look like it isn't mutated at all. The mask can also change the appearance of masks (others and itself), as long as the wearer of the mask believes it still looks like an actual Kanohi mask. Please try again to answer my questions.
