Erebus Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Ice Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It is good to here from Greg again and I hope he gets his "social media driver's license" and I am happy to know that he is still writing stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSR Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Good to hear that LEGO is making accommodations for employee-customer interactions.

Makuta_of_Oz Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Interesting. I'd certainly like to find out more about this "social media driver's licence" thing.

alpha123 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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?

ALVIS Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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. "You are not entitled to your opinion.

Tilius Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I appreciate his effort, but on the other hand I'm desperate for Bionicle to just die.....

Lewa0111 Nuva Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 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.

Night Terror Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 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 :/ "Dream, not of what you are, but of what you want to be."
