    By Bioran23,

    The KanohiJournal is now optimized for Internet Explorer 9 (BETA)! If you are using Windows 7 and IE9, be sure go and check out the new functionality of the browser on the KanohiJournal.
  2. Bioran23
    Please join us over the next few days as we unveil several more items a.k.a. The Future Begins Wave 2! One of the things we’re planning to reveal will undoubtedly be the most controversial item for the BIONICLE fanbase in 2010, but we hope you will welcome and enjoy it regardless.
  3. Bioran23
    We are delighted in welcoming the following two members to our staff team:
    Tilius Nathanael1711 We expect more new members to join our team over the next few weeks and months.
     
    Furthermore, we currently have a number of new positions available for grabs. Details can be found at the "Work For Us" section on the KanohiJournal website.

    Please also join the KanohiJournal as we unveil several other major projects on the 30th of June, along with several other items including give-aways.
     
    We would also like to take this opportunity to thank BZP, our affiliates and our staff for supporting our work. It has been truly amazing and exciting to be able to prepare what we are about to reveal with you all.
     
    Additionally, we would like to thank Ms. Julie Stern from LEGO, and the LEGO legal department for taking time to answer our enquiries regarding the upcoming projects.
     
    Finally, the KanohiJournal website will be offline on the 29th of June.

    Please help the future of BIONICLE graphic novels and purchase BIONICLE #8: Legends of Bara Magna, alongside BIONICLE #9: Fall of Atero.
     
    You may purchase the two books through KanohiJournal.com. Simply hover over either of the products currently being displayed at the top of the sidebar with your cursor, and it will give you the option to buy either products from Amazon.com.

    Autobots...sardine!

    By Bioran23,

    Completely random title just to lure you folks onto this entry.
     
    As you can see, this is now the official KJ blog. I will soon be adding content to those new nifty content blocks to the left (look at them all pretty and such :3) and once they are done this blog will become the center of the KJ developments.
     
    As you can see, we have a couple of very interesting projects lining up. The Complete Legend should have its topic soon, and Bara Magna RPG may have one also by next month. Not too sure on Mobile Apps yet, though.
     
    Not willing to shred too much light on any of them just yet, but you'll likely find out more about them within a few hours or by tomorrow, so check back soon and find out how to participate! (Oh, and no, Bara Magna RPG is not some RPG text game. Just to tease you all - it's something we're developing for Windows 7, and possibly XBOX 360 and Windows Phone 7 Series as well. Interested? You should be!)
     
    And if you still don't know what the KJ is, well, shame on you. xP Visit us and find out already.

    The Future, Today

    By Bioran23,

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Future, Today. This is the official blog for the KanohiJournal, leading BIONICLE fan eMagazine and its extension services, giving you a place to interact and participate in its development.

    About
    Since the KanohiJournal's redevelopment into an online magazine site, it is no longer efficient or appropriate to have topics within the Promotions forum. Instead, we intend for The Future, Today to be the replacement of individual topics, and also a development blog regularly updated to announce new articles on the KanohiJournal website and its project developments.

    Ever since our debut in 2008, the KanohiJournal has grown rapidly, providing BIONICLE fans with articles and a source of regular entertainment to enjoy. We have been the host of two official storyline contests, and have collaborated closely with BZP's S&T and The Chronicler German BIONICLE magazine to produce more contests for you to participate and enjoy. Our BIONICLE for E-Books development has seen the reproduction of several online serials into e-books for Amazon's Kindle device, with more formats to be supported in the near future.

    Today, we are happy to announce a number of new projects which we have worked on/researched into over the past few months, with more to come. We feel that this blog will allow you, our readers and fellow BIONICLE fans, to interact closer with our team and give you a chance to participate in new areas and projects currently being produced and researched by the KanohiJournal.

    Contests
    Contests have been quite an important part of what the KanohiJournal has performed so far. In 2008, we hosted the KanohiJournal Storyline Contest #1: Aqua Blaster Blade, in which fans were invited to build the Aqua Blaster Blade used by Toa Mahri Nuparu. In 2009, we hosted the KanohiJournal Storyline Contest #2: Surel Artwork, a very popular contest which allowed artists to draw the character of Surel.

    In 2010, the KanohiJournal has partnered with The Chronicler German BIONICLE magazine and BZP's Storyline & Theories to bring you even more inspirational and exciting contests to participate. This was shown in January, where the KanohiJournal collaborated with The Chronicler to host the IDBM Contest #3: Desert Birdwatching, which has received over 40 entries and the winner pending approval from Greg Farshtey.

    Starting tomorrow, the KanohiJournal will begin the KanohiJournal Storyline Contest #3: Iron Wolf MOC/Art. This will be a contest spanning a period of four months, and will be inviting MOCists to built the Iron Wolf and artists to illustrate the winning build. This contest will be a continuation to the successful KJSC2, and we are sure that many fans will be interested in this contest and support it.

    The KanohiJournal will also be hosting another contest with The Chronicler in June 2010, featuring Toa Nikila, a deceased Toa of Electricity. This contest will invite fan artists to draw the female Toa, which we are sure will be greatly anticipated.

    To finish off the year, the KanohiJournal will host one last contest in October 2010. This will be a writing contest, featuring a very interesting part of BIONICLE's storyline history. The topic for this contest will be revealed closer to the contest date.

    BIONICLE: The Complete Legend
    One of the most exciting things we will be working on this year is BIONICLE: The Complete Legend. This is a collaboration between the KanohiJournal and The Chronicler to produce an electronic guide book based on the visual dictionary idea by Toa Jampot.

    The Complete Legend will be fully illustrated and is targeted for a September 2010 release, and will be supporting major publication formats such as EPUB and Kindle. More details will emerge on the official BZP topic which we hope to unveil soon in the Movies & Books forum.

    Bara Magna RPG
    Bara Magna RPG is another project which the KanohiJournal will be taking part in this year. This will be a collaborative effort between the KanohiJournal and Legacy Productions, formerly known as the Akilini Enterprises. This project will center around producing a fan-created game for Microsoft Windows, and possibly for XBOX 360 and Windows Phone 7 Series as well. More details can be found on the left sidebar.

    Mobile Apps
    Arguably the most ambitious out of all the projects currently planned and produced by the KanohiJournal. Mobile Apps is a concept which we hope can come into fruition, and will involve the development of applications for major mobile phone platforms, allowing mobile-wielding fans to access the BIONICLE fandom faster and easier. More details and how to participate can be found on the left sidebar.

    Others
    The three items above is only a selection of projects currently being researched/produced by the KanohiJournal. There are also a number of other projects currently being discussed, and more details will emerge in the future. To ensure you don't miss out, be sure to keep an eye on the KanohiJournal website and this blog!

    Mata Nui and Kiina, sitting under a tree
    Then the tree falls down
    and crushes them both
    Gresh comes along
    See the squished corpses
    He screams and wails and runs away
    The Skopio stomps across the corpses
    It sees it as a meal and gobbles it up
    And so go Mata Nui and Kiina, who sat under a tree

     
    That's why you shouldn't cut trees, kids.

    Surel Contest

    By Bioran23,

    Please be reminded that there are currently 2+ weeks left for the entry period.
     
    We currently have 8 approved entries, so come on guys! Get drawing!

    This is just an update on the KJ.
     
    Firstly, don't worry, we aren't dead. Far from it, actually. The only reason why there wasn't an issue last month was due to BZP's downtime, which wrecked our plans for release the very same weekend during the week BZP went offline. As a result, much of the notices we sent around to the KJ staff got lost and so we didn't receive the articles as a result, thus we had to delay the issue by a month. We aim to have it out by this weekend, though.
     
    Secondly, after the Aqua Blaster Blade contest a while back, we received quite a lot of attention and got a lot of guest articles and staff applications. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and we haven't been receive much lately. The KJ relies on the continuous submissions and support from people like you, therefore if you have some spare time over the week, perhaps you could submit something to us?
     
    Thirdly, we have a lot of plans right now, including a secret one which we are very excited about. We are also currently requesting interviews with LEGO employees which I am sure BIONICLE fans would be very interested in (not telling you who, though. It's a surprise. ), and hopefully we will have interviewed one of them by the end of the month and have it released with the May edition.
     
    Fourthly, we also have plans for future contests, one of which has already been approved by Greg. If you have any ideas for contests (although keep in mind, we will only do minor characters) feel free to deposit them on the special section located on KJ's talkpage on BS01.
     
    And that's all for now. Remember, if you have time, do submit some articles to help us out!
