Makuta_of_Oz Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That's good news to hear. I hope he updates TYQ and TPTB.Agreed. Pretty sure they'll be next. I think the next TPTB was meant to be next, but Greg probably wanted to wait until the forums came back on to upload it, because of the Name That GB contest.

Shadow Kurahk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Great to hear from him after the downtime. Looks like we're all just trying to catch up where we left off, and we're doing a good job of it so far. Let's see how this social media training stuff goes for him. -SK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klak Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Happy to hear that he's okay, and that he's still interested in writing. Take your time Greg! Family is important!

ankyfdarkness Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 This seems promising. The fact that Greg still acknowledges us, and understands how we haven't been with much story for a while is good to know. I thought that the story would slow down a lot after Bionicle ended but I would not have guess it would come to a slow grind like it is currently. However, I understand Greg is a very busy man and I am immensely thankful he still works on the story. Any story is better then just letting Bionicle fall to the way side. Thank you, Greg Farshtey, for not allowing Bionicle to die just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riglax Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Thank you so much, Erebus. I really hope Greg can type on his laptop while sitting next to the baby, but I guess that doesn't sound like what a great writer would do... It's more than just typing on his laptop.

Ektris Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'd like to thank you, Erebus, for managing to get this to us. :)That said, I'm a little curious as to why Greg never did the social media training during the six months we've been out of contact... He probably does have his reasons, I'm sure, but it would expedite things now. Oh well, I'm still glad to hear he's doing well. ~|ET|~ E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

Toa of Nerds Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Even though GregF hasn't made any recent updates to the serials, it's still really incredible that he's even keeping the story going. Keep in mind that he's basically do this on his own without any support from Lego. I'm willing to forgive him for being a little late on the serials for that reason alone. -don't touch my pocket protector Three great comedies at one low, low price....NOTHING!

Makuta of Xhini Nui Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 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."

~Darok~ Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks E, I was getting worried. But, Greg is a Dad now, so he has to do what he has to do. I know we've all been waiting for the next chapters of The Yesterday Quest and The Power that Be for a while now; we just gotta be patient. He'll get to it when he'll get to it.

Iku Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I sure hope they replace him with some new blood to be honest. Well, the "sad" truth is, they won't. He is actually continuing the story by himself, for FREE. You should appreciate what he is doing, as LEGO really can't care less about BIONICLE right now.

Tilius Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Maybe half his point is that he doesn't want the story 'continuing' like this? Maybe he wants either someone new to do it, or for it to end. And don't tell other people what they should and shouldn't appreciate. Some people just see this continuation of the story as a massive dragging out where there's no need. If someone's continuing a story, and someone else doesn't like what they're doing with it, there's not really any reason for them to appreciate any of it. - Tilius Edited October 25, 2011 by Tilius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, we could have a few story contests or something. Or maybe he wouldn't want that because he'd be worried something would be screwed up.

It's just that people have been blaming Greg for the end of BIONICLE and I don't think that's fair. I know what Am I Poplar Yet? said wasn't exactly blaming Greg, but he's done so much for the storyline it's hard not to get a little upset about it. The main thing was that there isn't going to be any "new blood" as LEGO has (for the time being) ended the franchise and Greg is doing the story for free, so if they want to get in new people, they would have to hire them. Mr Farshtey, like all of us, is a fan of BIONICLE, to the extent that he would keep the story going in the hopes that he can expand the universe, and I appreciate that. I'm just a bit disappointed at the lack of support for him. That's just how I see it. Again, I apologise for the seemingly one-dimensional comment I made above.
