Let's ease off the conspiracy theories, please.

From the BBC Forum Rules: Please keep discussion to the MOC itself, not how many comments it's receiving.

Basically, it's more information to help make good matches. If you really like the Toa Mahri, and a potential reader would really like to read something about the Mahri, then that could be a match right there. You can name specific characters and/or groups of characters, and it'll tell me more about what you're looking to get out of the exchange.

The BZPower Fanfic Exchange 2017 What's better, giving or receiving gifts? Why not both? Not everything has to be an O. Henry story. And why not make those gifts the greatest gift of all, Bionicle fanfiction? We're bringing a time-honoured fandom tradition to BZPower this year with a fanfic exchange. It's pretty simple. You let me know what you want to write and read, I take that info and find someone wanting to write the sort of stuff you want to read, and everybody gets a-writin'. Then, in late December, you'll post your stories for your giftee and all of BZP to read. You won't know who's writing for you until then, so it's a fun little surprise. They'll most likely be a different person than who you're writing for, though. As part of the exchange, you'll submit the following info through this form. Once you receive your giftee's details, you'll have until December 26 to write your gift. There will be a couple of check-in points along the way to make sure everything's running smoothly. If you finish early, then great! The party doesn't have to stop there. You can ask me for more people's prompts, or lend your proven heroism to stepping in for someone who can't submit a gift. I may also put out an open call for people to do just that later in November. Please don't post any stories until December 26, though; part of the fun is seeing all these new stories pop up one after the other! Successfully fulfilling your end of the bargain will also qualify you for tangible prizes. Write a story, get a story, and also get a select constraction set of your choice. Not a bad deal, eh? Again, to participate, you'll need to fill out this form. If you've got anything to add between now and October 27, just PM me and let me know. After that, though, it's time to get writing! Rules 1) All stories must follow the BZPower Rules & Guidelines.. Inappropriate or offensive stories will be reprimanded. 2) Bionicle stories and prompts only, please - remember, they're the greatest gift of all! Though this topic is in Short Stories, they can be for any of the subforums (though if you're wild enough to write a full-blown epic, please see rule 5.) 3) If, for whatever reason, you think you might be late or unable to submit a gift, let me know! We can sort through just about anything as long as I know you need a little help. Just leaving your giftee hanging, however, is inadvisable and will carry consequences for you. 4) When posting your story, don't forget to say who it's for! Detective work is not a traditional element of the fanfic exchange. 5) Please don't overextend yourself; a nice short story is fine. At the same time, please make sure your gift is more than a couple of paragraphs. If a prompt really calls to you and you won't be satisfied until you write a whole epic from it, please have at least a first chapter ready to go for December 26. You'll be able to post the rest at your own pace after that. Schedule You will have from now to October 27 to sign up for the exchange. Matches will be sent out before November 5. You will have from November 5 to December 26 to write and finish your stories. -First official check-in is November 22; let me know what you're writing, or if you need help. -Second official check-in is December 10; you should have a draft you can show me. After December 26, post your stories! Please try to have them posted between December 26 and January 7, or let me know if you won't be able to get on BZP during that time. In that case, I'll send your story to your giftee so they'll be able to read their gift along with everybody else. (You'll have to send your story to me to make sure that happens, though.) Prizes Successfully fulfilling your part of the exchange means you get a select constraction set of your choice. More details will be available in December. Thanks to LEGO for the vast bounty of sets! Exchange Runner Tufi Piyufi Go on and have fun!

And that's it for the voting. See you later for the results!

I'll let Tufi weigh in, but I'm leaning towards the answer being, 'no,' unfortunately. Nope.

Official BBC Contest #74: The Dark Side of the Brick! Balance is such an important concept. It keeps you healthy, happy, and able to move forward. It's a core theme in the Star Wars universe, where the light side cannot exist without the dark side and vice versa. There's no shortage of stories about how the Force consists of both light and dark, and how removing one sends the galaxy into chaos. Absolute literal and metaphysical chaos. This contest? Is all Dark Side, all the time! Your assignment is to build a Dark Side character from Star Wars. Do you like Sith? Nightsisters? The Inquisitorius? Plain ol' Dark Jedi? How about something more regimented like a Stormtrooper or a Droideka? And let's not forget the seedy underbelly of the galaxy - bounty hunters, crime lords, or even a corrupt politician could all be fair game. This is your contest! Build your best Dark Sider out of constraction elements and bring a little more evil into the galaxy - or at least Virginia. What's that last part? That's right, this is contest is our annual BrickFair Virginia tie-in! The finalists will be asked to send their MOCs on the convention circuit so the final voting can be held at one of the largest LEGO fan conventions in America. In fact, everyone is welcome and encouraged to send their entries to show off at the show, where they will receive a suitably Dark Side escort. A part of that escort may even follow you home in additional to the other perks you get on the circuit. It's a good time to be bad! ------------------------- You have from now until Monday, July 10 at 11:59 PM ET to submit your entries. To submit your entries, just use this handy form. Only one entry per person, please. ------------------------- Voting: Preliminary Voting begins July 11 and ends July 15 at 11:59 P.M. ET. Final Voting begins August 5 and ends August 6 at 11:59 P.M. ET. The contest winner and final voting results will be posted in a separate thread on August 8. ------------------------- Rules: 1) Entries may not have been posted on BZPower prior to the start of the contest. It can be posted anywhere else before the contest, but it must never have been seen before on BZPower. Once entered, entries cannot be modified: you're committed to what you've entered. If you withdraw your entry, you cannot enter again that contest. If your entry is disqualified, you cannot enter again that contest. 2) Painted parts, non-LEGO parts, and parts edited in Photoshop are not permitted and will disqualify you. All other LEGO pieces are permitted, but the entry must be at least 75% Bionicle/Hero Factory/Technic. 3) Keep it clean, keep it civil. No flaming, no whining. Unsporting conduct will just get you disqualified. 4) Campaigning for votes (mass-PMing, etc), using multiple accounts to skew voting, and sundry other methods of cheating are only going to end in tears for you. Trust us: we'll know when you're doing it. --------------------------------------- Prizes: First place will receive all of this year's Star Wars buildable figures released so far: 75523 Scarif Shoretrooper, 75524 Chirrut Îmwe, 75525 Baze Malbus, 75531 Stormtrooper Commander, and 75532 Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike.

Third place will receive 75524 Chirrut Îmwe and 75525 Baze Malbus (what a goody two-shoes). Everyone who sends their entry to BrickFair Virginia will receive a random Star Wars buildable figure. Please note, these figures will likely already be assembled and may be missing some small parts as they will have been used to augment the display. Thanks to LEGO for providing the prizes! --------------------------------------- Contest Hosts: Tufi Piyufi Black Six Well, what are you waiting for? Get building!
