Heck, What A Night

I went to bed as POBZPC and woke up as Premier Forum Assistant... which means I am staff now... which means you may feel free to bash me now. But only here. In this blog. Elsewhere, I ask you to be nice and to ask me for advice if you need it.   C'mon, do some NtM-bashing - seize the opportunity while it presents itself.

Castrovalva

Watching some classic Doctor Who, starting with Castrovalva - with Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. And what an awesome Doctor he is!

Rip Sarah Jane Smith

Elisabeth Sladen, the actor who portrayed Sarah Jane Smith in the Doctor Who franchise, died of cancer at age 63 yesterday.   Rest in peace... you did a fantastic job

Powercasting

Just got interviewed by Black Six along with HAZMAT and Takuma Nuva for the next Powercast. It was a great time - both before and during the recording and I'm looking forward to hearing the final thing, even if I already know what's going to be said. xD Don't we all love to hear ourselves talk once in a while?

B S S - Rejected Suggestions

The BIONICLE Story Squad (BSS) may soon do a topic in S&T where we can announce all our rejected canon submissions, but since the BSS wants you to know about all our decisions, I took the liberty to create this blog entry. So far, you have only seen topics about what has made it past us - here is what has been declined by us or Greg, along with our reasons why. "Kanohi Amana" - Bioni-Cool Jack Bioni-Cool Jack suggested to name the Mask of Elemental Energy "Kanohi Amana", based on some

Canon Contests

Because of recent events, let me say a word or two about canon contests.   Definition The term "canon contest" is used to describe a competition during which a fan-created work gets selected among other entries to become part of what is considered to be the official storyline of a franchise. That "work" may be the design of a character, species, object or location by means of MOCing, drawing or describing it, or it may be a fan-written story that no longer is regarded "fan fiction" but an offi

Voting

Voting is fun. And everybody with the right to vote should do it. Not just on BZP.   Oh, and Supernatural is awesome, too.

Asking Greg: Confirming & Canonizing

Before I say anything: What made me write this is the Nocturn's island confusion in the OGD, and I felt it was my obligation as a Greg Team member, because my colleagues that do the Farshtey Feed will be among the ones suffering from the confusion created by people who don't know how to ask Greg a question properly. Don't feel offended by this blog entry, but regard it as a piece of good advice.   Okay, let's get started. These are things to consider when writing to our fellow member and BIONIC

Couple Of Updates

Just some things you might have missed--   1) The Chronicler won't do any contests anymore in 2011. Our last contest will be "Lesovikk's Hiatus", a joint venture with the KanohiJournal. 2) My interest in BIONICLE is fading. I am still eager for each new chapter on BIONICLEStory.com and I still read the OGD, but I feel less excited about BZP and the saga as a whole... I just feel it is dying. 3) Since we still have (stress on "still", as I expect it to be completely gone soon, since the time s

Shiny

What's shiny is Firefly, which I finally came around to watch in its glorious, short-lived entirety.   What's not shiny is only two BIONICLE serial updates since November 2010, with the last one occuring exactly 5 weeks ago... hopefully, there'll be one this week.

The Dalek Emperor Has Been Exterminated

Some crazy guy wearing a gas mask just wandered in today and destroyed, um, exterminated the Dalek Emperor to vent his anger on some doctor he obviously isn't quite pleased with... so Nuhrii the Metruan is back.   And apart from a terrible explanation for changing my name back, I must remind you of a very epic thing Chosen One of Bionicle did when I was Nuhrii the Dalek Emperor... NtDE exterminates the entire Chronicler staff... ^^

Abiiiiii!

I had my presentation exam for the Abitur (secondary level degree in Germany) today - and got the best mark possible (15) for explaining some theological stuff I don't really believe in (but I apparently managed to be convincing). So...   ABIIIIII!!! (exclamation of people who got Abitur)

Omw

Oh my wiki!   Just testing the latest nightly dump release for MediaWiki 1.18 - and the new installer rocks. Can't wait to see it in action in a few weeks when upgrading all those little wikis I'm responsible for to 1.17 - heck, if you need a wiki, call me, I'll do it just for the joy of using that installer.

New Toa Team Elements Results

The BIONICLE Story Squad recently asked members to name their six favourite elements for the new Toa team Greg will introduce in an upcoming serial on BIONICLEStory.com. These are the results - however, note that Greg Farshtey is in no way forced to stick slavishly to these results, but is willing to respect and consider them. Elements and VotesLightning - 468 Psionics - 453 Gravity - 444 Plasma - 444 Iron - 440 Plant Life/The Green - 425 Sonics - 342 Magnetism - 310 Thanks to all who voted.

Well Done, Dorek

I am just writing this to congratulate Dorek. Why? Because of "Decadence" - but not primarily because it won the Core War contest, but because it has been very easy to translate. The writing style was very good compared to some previous fan-created canon stories I translated for The Chronicler. I hope the winners of upcoming story contests will be as well-written as this one.   NtM
