  1. It was pretty cool to see all the different concept art. I love seeing those and comparing it the the final "thing". I believe I read somewhere that there were three books planned in the entire Bionicle "story bible", all of which were going to be 8 years long. And please, don't quote me on that, I don't remember exactly where I read it, it was a while ago. If that is true, then it is quite a shame Bionicle was only able to have one book told, the others (hopefully temporarily) discarded due to toy sales.
  2. There's also a link to a picture of her in the news post.I hope that Heather is found soon, and that wherever she is, she's okay. I'm pretty far from Seattle, but I'll have my eye open anyway.- Same. I'll pray that she turns out well and alive, keep an open eye, and spread this news.
  3. I read "Shadows", made me think of this:"Take to the shadows. They are, after all, the prisons we have made for ourselves." ~Makuta Krika.EDIT: Crud, got severely ninja'd!I see Hakann taking a stroll through your Signature.
  4. I'm obsessed with a lot of things, one of them being Bionicle. :PThe person below me has a lot on their mind.
  5. No, on the other hand I try and feed souls. :3TPBM Likes Thomas Bergersen's musical genius.
  6. Yep, I am 6 feet and 5 inches.The person below me is a fan of Erik Ekholm. (I seriously doubt anyone knows of him)
  7. Oh, no, no, no, I don't think you understood me. I'm not saying that he should replace Greg, no, not in the slightest! I'm just saying that, with Greg so pre-occupied, that perhaps some other side-writing (such as this) could be done by people like Cederak to expand on the preexisting universe, seeing as he just kind of pushes that to the side until it becomes... erm... "convenient" to write it in. Believe me, I love his work, always have, always will. Heck, I put aside a book for school just so I could read the Legends series again, because I valued them more. I definitely think there should be more. In fact, in my eternally moody lifestyle, I constantly wish that, during this long hiatus that we've experienced, that Greg didn't just say "HOST LOTS OF CONTESTS FOR THESE CHARACTERS" because I would love to see it. Now I know, leaving these things open to interpretation is part of the story, but the fact of the matter is, when you have characters such as Helryx, Johmak, Artahka, Tren Krom, etc., and no real depiction of them, it really leaves a little too much open. Anyways, I'm digressing. I still just think that some writing like this should be accepted into canon, and that Greg should allow people to write fics like this and accept them canonically (that is, as long as they follow specific guidelines, otherwise, every story about a biomechanical being would be accepted into the story XD) ~Tobi Oh, okay, that makes so much more sense. Sorry for what I said then.
  8. I didn't know other people were working on things having to do with the reign of the warlords... I find it weird. I'm personally drawing something with when they were both mutated and before/after their disfigurement.Anyway, I found the story very engaging, being very well written. I love how you used very specific color descriptions, makes it mentally come to life whilst reading it. I am also very intrigued at the different MU races we made, you described them well enough for us to come up with a picture without being too overly detailed and strict, creates room for the reader to come up with there own, imaginative appearance for them. Your writing style seems to reflect the way Greg writes himself, which is makes it feel at one with the rest of the canon Bionicle universe, that was my favorite part of this Short-Story.Only things that I didn't like was the laser rifle and the constant use of "biomechs"; the latter being a bit over used and not really appropriate when most of the people there are biomechanical beings (it is like saying, for example, "...and the organic picked up his firearm, and walked back to his steed." when it is another human describing it); and the former saying that a form of light could could potentially kill someone in the form of a "rifle" (unless you are using it to trigger some mechanical sensors to do something, or trying to blind someone, something of the sort). But then again, it is Bionicle, so real-world physics largely don't apply here. :lol:You really deserved having your story being put up on the front page, and I can't wait for your "epic" continuation of this. By all means, Keep Up The Good Work!Speaking of Greg.... Greg did and still does a very good job at his writing with Bionicle, to say that he should be cast aside and have someone that writes similarly to himself seems kind of stupid, honestly. If I remember correctly, Greg also made vivid descriptions in his writings that are similar to those found in this SS, such as describing Zaktan as being "emerald green", Tahu as "Crimson Red", etc; not to mention his detailed accounts of Metru-Nui, Tren Krom, and the rest of the Bionicle Universe. How else do you think it has such a rich storyline and atmosphere that has created fans as loyal as ones that make fan-art or write creative writings based on it's lore?
