Greg Farshtey's Status


Recommended Posts

Hi E., The major question is how much I am going to be allowed to do here. I am going for "social media driver's license" training next week, so maybe I will get more insight into what they will and won't let me do here. As for the story updates, it's mainly been a case of just being busy with the baby. My usual writing time has always been in the morning on the weekends, and now I am taking care of the baby from usually about 5 am to mid-afternoon. So I just have to find time somewhere to get back to this. Greg

Good to hear some news on the matter, hopefully the close connection of the past years won't be entirely lost.

Good to hear that LEGO is making accommodations for employee-customer interactions. As for the stories, I don't think there's a better excuse than "I'm taking care of my child."

Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.  However, you can always contact me through PM (I have email notifications set up) and I will reply as soon as I can.

Interesting. I'd certainly like to find out more about this "social media driver's licence" thing. Is it like an online version of the Working with Children pass we have in Australia?

Doesn't his contract with LEGO expire at the end of this year? Has there been any word on that?

 

If the Kanohi masks are a type of technology and most of the MU citizens are Biomechanical beings then how would a Kanohi mask recognize the difference between a Matoran and a Toa?

Where did you hear his contract with LEGO would expire at the end of this year? They intend to keep him around, he writes all their books and comics and such. Unless you mean the BIONICLE contract, in which case he has stated he'd be willing to continue the story here if that happened.

It would be great if he continues here. I am sure BZPower and its staff are open to the idea.

If he did that, he wouldn't be able to introduce any new characters would he?

Do you mean get new names or introduce new characters with the new names that he already has? Either way, I don't think it will be a big problem.

I meant getting new names. As far as I'm aware he'll still have to get approved names from Lego.

Chances are that the list he got in 2010 is the final list of names. :(

Which is fine with me - I want him to stop introducing new characters and start using more old ones more often.

Agreed. We need more character development in lesser known Matoran and Dark Hunters like Shasa, Aiyrtoro, Shadow Stealer and Vanisher.

I agree with this as well. I would love to learn more about the lesser known Dark Hunters, Toa, and etc. of Bionicle. Or maybe even have older characters go through new adventures. (Like Pohatu and Kopaka right now.)

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

wait... Greg has a kid? Wow, I didn't know that. Well its good to hear Greg is doing well and I hope he can find some spare time to write soon.

What are we searching for? Are we searching for anything or just randomly surfing the internet? I did that once. I found this bionicle fan site called bzpower. Whoever made it had no decorating sense what so ever.

It's nice to hear Greg hasn't forgotten about us. Like I hypothesized earlier in some other topic, with BZP down Greg just hasn't really had any reason to update the serials much. Take all the time you need, Greg, it'll just make the final product that much better! :) :mirunu: Lewa0111 Nuva :mirunu:

It's always good to hear from Mr. Farshtey! I knew that he having a baby + the Magazine was taking the little time he had to write the story.I also hope he can still get in touch with us -- he's allowed us to do too many things with this fantastic story that BIONICLE is, responded our PMs with questions very gladly, and it'd be a shame that he had to leave the place or something :/

We understand, Greg.

This is great, it's good to know Greg plans on finishing the serials. Hope he gets the license.

Come to think of it, doing this Working With Children training would be taking up some of his time too. Once that gets done, he'll have more time to chat with us and finish the serials!
