Lewa -- not dead, just being delayed by various things

Retelling progress: Takua has been banished.

New Year's Eve retelling update: I'd hoped to have the whole (first draft) written by tomorrow; that's clearly not happening, but I'm getting very close! Only 15 of 90 chapters left to write. Ignika is in Dekar's hands. Now almost certain I won't need to add any extra chapters.

Well, looks like I hit the bandwidth limit for a free photobucket account (which I used for the retelling art, after Brickshelf glitched). My options there are to pay $3 a month to remove limits, or wait until the 17th and when monthly bandwidth will reset to zero. I had planned to use brickshelf, but the folder for the images glitched. I'll look into what to do. For now, the images for the chapter on Wed. will be on brickshelf.

Update: Retelling is now looking like it will end up as 90 chapters rather than 80 if things go how they have been. I'm on track with the plan so far (Takua is going around rescuing Turaga prior to MNOG now; midway through chapter 60), but I strongly suspect the later plans were too squished-together. We'll see.

56/~80 chapters done in The Destiny of Bionicle. Matoran awoken and Toa Metru Turaga-ized, groups heading out to found the villages.

Hello. This is an update. See? It's weird and stuff.

Retelling progress: Finished a long chapter of almost totally non-canon events between Takua's summoning of the Toa and the canisters actually arriving. Also going back to earlier chapters' comments to add links to story source YouTube videos!

Retelling progress report: Takanuva is explaining to the Toa Nuva about the energy storms; they are about to head for the Codrex.

Progress on retelling of entire Bionicle history: Ahkmou has arrived on Mata Nui and he's already been bad. (How so is spoilers. )

Re-telling update: Atero has fallen. The chapter I just finished ended up with 24 pages, so yeah, the 20-page maximum rule is definitely history in Part Nine!

Why in the world is this ancient reply stuck in my main profile page, but new comments aren't? o_O *testing stuff...*

Retelling progress: Matoro has sacrificed his life to save Mata Nui. Since this came up in a topic, I didn't have space to include the reanimation of Alternate Tuyet's corpse. Not sure if that or several side threads like it will end up playing a role or not, but if so it'll have to be mentioned as a brief flashback later. Now 77 of 90 chapters written.

Bionicle retelling is LAUNCHED! Enjoy! http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=12172

Progress on Bionicle history retelling: mostly done with the 59th chapter; everything up until the sinking of Mahri Nui is done (about to write that). Well, need to add a few words about the founding of Koli, but not really sure where that properly goes chronologically; I'm putting it before Mahri Nui but who knows.

So, I have a big reply to your latest topic, but BZP apparently has a glitch now that prevents posts... and PMs (I tried that too). Profile comments seem to be working, so letting you know here. The simple answer (to that also-common question ) is the Turaga were afraid some Matoran would try to return, and get killed or infected by Makuta. And there could be any number of tunnel ways down. Hope this gets through... >_>

Oh, what the heck, I'll write a blog entry to answer your question, Gravitan. I had a big answer typed here but it was so long. So see here:

TtW -- *looks up "Iona Opie". Well, unless This Iona Opie also noticed that the word "Opinion" looks like it's referring to ions of a strange material known as "Opine", then no.

Retelling draft progress: Takua has summoned the Toa and crashed into the beach. If you ever wondered how the heck he could survive that, story has an explanation. (Dunno if it counts as a theory... I don't know that any actual evidenced theory could make that work lol.)

*acts all afraid and stuff*

You're very kind, Lemoru, thanks.

Short answer from there:

Sometimes good and evil are points of view, but there are absolute definitions of both words, based on selflessness and selfishness. To confuse the former definitions of these words with the latter is an equivocation fallacy, which is invalid and logically impossible.

Update: Sorry for neglecting updates... although not much of Part Nine has been written for a while, as I'm working on the Memoirs contest mainly. I did get most of chapter 83 written though since last update.

When I get around to it. :-P

Won't have as much time as I thought I'd have this week, Gakurahk and anybody else who has PMed me. So replies will be slow, sorry.
