Kopekemaster Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 So, I'm curious. Which of you have made someone a fan of Bionicle, after it ended? Also, how did you go about doing it?In reality, it's not really any different from getting someone into any of the other hundreds or thousands of stories/fandoms/etc. that have ended.I guess it might just seem harder to us, because we were given the story very serially (not to mention the sets), and there are so many spoilers and stuff it's hard to get people hooked enough to continue without looking up information non-chronologically. But what have been your experiences with it? Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Toa Smoke Monster Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I haven't really talked to anyone I know outside of BZP about Bionicle since it ended. I remember mentioning it once or twice at my job, but not to a point to get someone interested in the story or sets.

Mr. Lightning Bolt Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The closest I got to anything like that is me buying the 2001 sets (matoran, turaga, toa, not the Rahi) and some of the masks, and sending it to my ex, who brought it out and thinks the Matoran are adorable.

25K Now! Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I may have accidentally gotten a guy hooked into the story a few years back. He never owned a set though. But he dug the story. Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oroki Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I convinced one guy to play MNOLG in the hopes he'll get into Bionicle. I dont know yet if my endeavor has succeeded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For getting them into Bionicle, I'd probably say that the story is the more important part. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Akavakaku Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Recently I helped a friend rediscover the Bionicle story; he'd stopped following it after Mask of Light.

Aanchir Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The only people I've ever met with any interest in BIONICLE either were die-hard fans to the end or former fans who lost interest in it long before it ended. As for my non-BIONICLE-loving friends, I've never really tried to sell them on it beyond explaining to them why I like it. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just A Dot Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I got my sister to read most of the comics and books a few years ago (like 2011ish?). She said she enjoyed the plots and characters, but thought the actual writing was lackluster (and I agree completely). Not really made an effort to get anyone else into it.
