bonesiii Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Welcome to voting for the seventh Storyline & Theories contest: Memoirs of the Dead! First, please vote in this poll before voting here. With that out of the way, make sure you read all entries in this category before voting. The voting will close on Thursday April 30, hopefully giving plenty of time to read the entries if you haven't already.

The new deadline is Thursday, March 5.] Note that not every category will have a winner; see the linked poll for details.Entry #1 -- Teacher by Tikiturbo Entry #2 -- Brothers by DeltaStriker Edited February 16, 2015 by bonesiii The Destiny of Bionicle (chronological retelling of Bionicle original series, 9 PDFs of 10 chapters each on Google Drive): Part 1 - Warring with Fate | Part 2 - Year of Change | Part 3 - The Exploration Trap | Part 4 - Rise of the Warlords | Part 5 - A Busy Matoran | Part 6 - The Dark Time | Part 7 - Proving Grounds | Part 8 - A Rude Awakening | Part 9 - The Battle of Giants My Bionicle Fanfiction (Google Drive folder, eventually planned to have PDFs of all of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidoh Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I prefered Entry #1. No offence to whoever wrote the second one, but I thought it felt rather bland.

ALVIS Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 The crucial flaw with Entry 2 is that it disobeys an unwritten rule of storytelling: "show, don't tell". Entry 2's account of events is dry and dwells on actions and facts, rather than the thoughts and feelings of the characters, as Entry 1 does. Although Jovan turned out not to be dead after all, I wouldn't object to canonizing Entry 1. It gives him both an actual in-person appearance and some interesting characterization. And who could say no to a bit more action on Voya Nui? 2 "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.
