The Dynasty

Altacosmos Chronicle #2: The Dynasty Haven't yet linked to the second Altacosmos Chronicle. And won't have time for a fancier blog entry this week. So yarr. And took so long to link to the artwork topic that it is now dead lol. Just have a peek in both stories at the end (and banner at top) for the art. Here's the Bio Code link again. Note that there are ten freeware .ppt avs available for the Dynasty, including a coolified Ignika (as seen in banner above). As always, no sig cred ne

Contest Stuff

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 1) Forgot to say thumbnail size for the S&T Time Capsule contest (for those with imagery entries who opt to make their own thumbs) -- 128 by 128 pixels. 2) March 30 -- a Monday -- is probably going to be the Time Capsule entry period closing date. Will this be too soon for anyone? I'll reconsider if so, but probably by the end of the week the date will be set. 3) Swert and I have come up with something really cool for the future of the Expanded Universe. Look f

Adventure Mystery

Today the Bones Blog brings you an explanation of my term for the style of writing I love best -- the 'genre' I write. I consider LOST and Bionicle itself to be the best examples of this "genre". Scifi? Fantasy? Mystery? Thriller? Drama? No -- it's the best of all of those wrapped up into one awesome style -- Adventure Mystery! There's a newer breed of story that began with LOST (and, I would argue, with Bionicle). Take a look at the "genre" section on Wikipedia's LOST page and you'll see tha

Altacosmos Chronicles

I've started a new short stories series based on the idea of Bionicle "What Ifs", called the Altacosmos Chronicles. Check out the first Chronicle, up now, titled, "Altacosmos Chronicle #1: Bio Code."   Cred to Takuta Nui for partly inspiring this, as I say there. First episode is based on some recent revelations and things Greg has said on his blog. Adventure Mystery as always. Not directly related to the Paracosmos, but these chronicles do exist in the Unknown Library in the Paracosmos. Somet

Blue Mocs 2nd Chances Contest ( Bionicle Paracosmos Contest #3)

Alright, here's the theme I decided on for the next blog contest. This is another 2nd Chances contest and a New MOCs contest. It's the third Paracosmos contest -- winning MOCs will be in my fanfics. Yadda. So what's the dealio wit' da themeo? Make a blue MOC. Any blue MOC. It can be a hero, a villain, a morally-questionable, a beast, a titan, a small MOC, anything, as long as it is blue. The top four winning MOCs will be featured in my next Paracosmos story, Endless Blue (during Bohro

Twisted Island Banners

Made a new banner for Twisted Island. Made two support banners for sigs from it. Made with colored pencil. I decided it would be faster to make via paper than Powerpoint. And so it was. Am also working on various other Twisted Island art in Powerpoint. Probably will be an artwork topic around when the epic's fully posted. Support Banners: [url="http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=307662"][img=http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bonesiii/SigStuff/ParacosmosBanners/

Next Blog Contest?

[Pretend there's a banner here! It says, "Bones Blog"! ] Should I do a MOC contest again this time? I know I said I've do the Makuta Jeopardy thing soon a long time ago, but there has been some trouble as Teridax has been killing Makuta left and right. Makuta DoomAH, who had offered to host it, has been taken to a refuge of Evil Lord Survurlode outside the Matoran Universe. As such I have been unable to contact him for an interview or to arrange this contest. In fact, we don't know for su

We're All Smart -- Brain Allocation Theory

The Brain Inequality Theory (The BIT ) "I'm not very smart. Smart people. He was a genius. 'I'm pretty sure my IQ is higher than yours!' He has a low IQ. You're stupid." Our culture is permeated with such statements. We have a basic theory that many people are much smarter than others. Some are smart, some are dumb, and this can be measured. And that's it. It's thaaaat simple. To quote Threepio -- "We're doomed." That's the theory, if you're part of "the less-than-smart". Worse, man

My 2009 Sets Thoughts, Part 1

Today the Bones Blog brings you the first part my reactions, analysis, predictions etc. about the 2009 sets we've seen pics of thus far. All set images are taken from the Official 2009 Story Topic and approved by Black Six for use on BZPower. This part deals with the best of the 2009 lineup (in my opinion/tastes at least) -- the Glatorian. Please note that I only skimmed the comments and glanced at the images of the actual sets that some members have posted in the Sets Forum -- I believe i

Captain Of Treason

All 21 chapters of the Bionicle Paracosmos epic Captain of Treason have been posted! Enjoy! Any reviews would be appreciated and enjoyed. And thanks to all who have reviewed so far, and to all the readers! Got not much more to say right now, as I have only 'bout half an hour till ye olde weekend paper job starts, after Christmas stuff and all. Twisted Island has reached the "point of no return" winding up to the climax in the writing; the setups for the epic after it have pretty been put in

The Arena Method Of Writing

The Arena Method of Writing Today the Bones Blog brings you the writing method that not only avoids writer's block, but creates a realistic, believable, and enjoyable plotline and story that is fun both for the reader to read and the writer to write. The Arena Method is my term for what I consider the perfect way to write a story. GregF has commented that this basic idea is how he writes Bionicle story -- this is my take on it. I'll introduce the concept, list the rules of the method

Another Extension?

Should I have yet another extension for the Monster Mystery .ppt art contest that ends in about half an houred at noon today?   I've realized one month was too short a time to be fair in the first place -- should have gone with sommat more like two months. If I do this, editing entries you've already entered is fair game, for the record.   This would be another week only, though, with no chance for another extension. I'll compensate by making sure all future art contests here have two month
