fishers64 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 *applause* FINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLY. *more applause* Congratulations to the winners! If they are still around to accept their awards, they deserve it - first for writing their stories, and then for waiting almost THREE. WHOLE. YEARS. *continues clapping* *stands up* *walks out, still applauding* Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 In all seriousness though, congrats to all the winners! I will read all these stories once I get some time to do so. 5 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 i only read the one featuring Makuta Icarax, and I am glad to see that it was one of the winners! Congrats Baron! Glad to see some canon development on an intriguing character. Although he controlled darkness, his death was caused by being left in it; like the other Makuta (I hate that selfish Teridax... ). I will get around to reading the others at a later time. Again, congratulations everyone, and i hope the lot of you all had patience to spare! I was actually going to start writing on a story for this contest back in January, but after writing a paragraph I noticed that the submission deadline had already passed.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I... I don't believe it... I LOST!! Nah, I didn't expect to win. I'm surprised my entry got as far as it did. The winners' entries deserve to be the ones canonized. Awesome! More G1 material! Can't wait to read 'em. Congratulations! I agree, what an ordeal. Geez...

unknown456 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So, first off, congrats to all the winners . You deserve it. They were all great stories. Secondly, I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it just to be sure: Will these stories be posted to BS01, or would Greg need to approve of each of them before that could happen? Either way, I think I know what I'm going to be reading over the next couple days Quote Forever remember the Podu R.I.P. Hahli, Lesovikk, and Ehlek. Died of Green Plastic Syndrome.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 About time. Well worth the wait. I'm definitely going to give these a read when I have the free time. A fun send-off to the G1 story! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuplexBeGreat Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Wow... it's amazing that this is finally wrapped up after so long. Congratulations to everyone, these were really fun to read! 1 Quote idk man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mersery Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Oh wow. Didn't notice this announcement post! Well done to everyone who entered and congratulations to everyone those who won! Big hand to to bonesii in particular, for his consistent dedication to seeing this contest through over the years (years!!!). It now feels really odd to accept that this contest is over.

N.S.M.8 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 First, as someone who followed Bionicle from the beginning but never got involved in the community until recently, this contest (and the ones that came before it) was awesome. Congratulations to everyone: contestants, judges, and even just the voters.Now that that sentimental nonsense is out of the way, let's get to MORE sentimental nonsense! Does anyone else find this contest ironic? The contest who's theme is honoring dead characters is itself is the conclusion to Bionicle. It almost as though the contest itself is a memoir for Bionicle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkeletonMan939 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It was the last canon contest we'll ever have. It marks the end of an era. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iku Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I'm just curious, how many of you guys read the Reysa story? I felt that was probably the strongest one out of the stories (thematically and in terms of writing), yet so few people voted for it. :/I have a feeling a lot of people neglected it since Reysa isn't exactly a front-and-centre character, and so got shafted. Whoever is reading this post right now, I urge you to go read the story if you haven't. It's a very well written and meaningful story that I absolutely wished was in the top few. Congrats to all the winners, though! There were some really awesome stories out there which are a fitting send off to the old generation of canon. Hopefully in the future, we can also have some input into the Gen2 storyline in a similar manner. I can't wait to see what's in store for us.

Mersery Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Secondly, I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it just to be sure: Will these stories be posted to BS01, or would Greg need to approve of each of them before that could happen? Yeah, I was curious about this too. Since the announcement was made a few days ago, I'm just assuming there's some kind of approval process going on or they haven't got round to it.

Tikiturbo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I can't believe the contest is finally over. Echoing what everyone has said, congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to the judges who have been working on this for so long. 1 Quote Not Tikicrazy. Not Tikiloco.

ZippyWharrgarbl Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Congratulations to all the winners! Even if I didn't win, I still feel so happy to have been part of the last canon story contest for G1. It was one crazy 2-year ride! Quote Memoirs of the Dead entry: The Unknown Turaga, a tale from the late Chronicler Kodan's journal.

Boidoh Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Finally this is over, I thought it was never gonna happen. Are these canon - canon? Or are they in the same situation as the last bunch of stories that never got read by Greg?

onionfarb Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Hey, so, are these winning entries now official canon? Should they be put on BS01? EDIT: I see this question has already been asked. I gather that Greg hasn't yet read them, and all things considered, who knows when that'll happen. But, like everyone said, it's great that these stories won, though I'm pretty late to saying that. I remember, I was a freshman in high school during the submission period, and I was working on a story, but due to my struggles with OCD I was never able to finish, or really get anywhere with it. Even with the extension, I would just find myself wasting all the time I had, even though it was really important to me. I really wish I could have done it back then. Maybe I'll finish it someday.
