Coming Up On The End

By now, it's no surprise to a lot of core BIONICLE fans think they know what's happening in the story at the end of 2008. I ain't saying one way or t'other. But there are some fun things coming your way in the next couple of months that'll probably surprise y'all.*
One thing just came across my desk that tickled me. I had the rare opportunity to write canon storyline for the web site (with Greg's input, of course), and some of what's coming up has a lot of relevance to the entire 2001-2008 storyline. On top of that, a couple of pieces of text were recorded as a podcast, some of which I'll share in roughly 9 days, 18 hours, and 56 minutes. Not that I'm counting.
Although I've been eyeball-deep in the story and marketing and presentation of BIONICLE for the last 14 months, I don't think anything I've done will make as much of a difference as these little bits of text. Long after the web sites are dust, the story will go on, and I got to write just a little bit of it.
Yeah, so that's the fanboy coming out. It's important to keep that perspective, otherwise it's just another job with looming deadlines and deliverables that need to be churned out. It'd be a shame if it ever got to that point, and little things like the "voice of BIONICLE" reading my writing in a podcast helps set this job apart from any others. I'm extremely privileged to be in the position I am at this time. When the day-to-day pressures start to cook my brain, I take a couple of minutes to reflect on what I'm doing, and how I get nearly instant feedback on my performance from 40,000 of my closest friends. You sure can't get that kind of job satisfaction pumping gas at the local Kwik-E-Mart. Unless you fancy gas fumes.
As soon as I can release the podcasts, you bet I will. Heck, they're going in my resume!
* Don't ask me why I started in a drawl. I dunno.
