1Hi Greg 
2I just wanted to ask you, back in 2011 there was the "A Thousand Years Untold 2" contest in which Fans could write 6 stories about what happend during the dark time on several different locations. And in 2012 six winners were chosen, but (I guess) there was never an official confirmation on whether the stories are accepted into the official canon or not.
3So my question is: what is the status of these stories? Are they canon or not?

When takua was talking to gali in karda nui before Mata nui originally booted up, he sure seemed like he had sapience - mere nanotech can't aspire to become something greater (he wanted to become a toa). So as for how they gained that trait, I think they always had it, but due to the way they were treated by the GBs, they behaved the way they were expected to, aka as a machine would. Then when they were in the robot away from anyone who might bring behavioral expectations on them, they began to realize they were thinking, rational, independent beings - their creators had effectively genetically engineered a new species. I think the role velika played in that was that he was the first individual to begin treating his fellow matoran as real people, and so people who interacted with him realized their true nature, and as more people interacted with those people, the effect spread, and the self-oppression exponentially ended.
2there is no gaurantee that nanotech is not sentient although it is actually harder due to size to make them sapient. I'm actually writing a book with a character who is made out of nanites forming a collective intelligence. (inspired partially by zaktan).
1Greg Farshtey, I am a huge fan of your Bionicle and Ninjago novels! You really brought the series to life! But I have to ask you several questions: How does the Ninjago Paoercutz series fit in with the entire Ninjago Story Line? And If Bionicle were to return what would it be like? And if it did return, would it focus on the other planet besides Aqua Magna and Bara Magna (I think the planet I was talking about is called Bora Magna) as a prequel?
2Thank you for your time and I hope you can reply to me!
3I became a fan of Bionicle in the 4th grade, and I haven't regetted it ever since!
4P.S.
5If you do the story for Hero Factory, do you think you could improve on it?

61) They are considered to be side stories of the TV series
72) I have no way of knowing what a returned BIONICLE would look like
83) I am not involved in main story for HF

21. Have you ever watched any Godzilla movies, and if so, do you like them?
32. I'm getting sort of confused right now. So you're saying Matoran are AI, and yet are "alive". How?
43. Which comic super hero universe do you prefer: MARVEL or DC?
51) The ones I have liked best were the more modern ones made in the '90s
62) Virtually all of the beings we have met in the MU are a combination of living tissue and mechanical parts, so yes, they are alive.
73) I like aspects of both, but I am reading more Marvel these days

4Not something I have any knowledge of. I assume this was a BZP contest or something similar, and I was not on BZP anymore at that point due to LEGO policy.

2In episode 34, or in one of the ninjago 2015 episodes.
3This rumor started with a Wiki entry as far as I can tell, which has since been revealed to be based on nothing. I am not sure why you guys believe that anyone who has any knowledge of Ninjago 2015 story would be posting anything online for you folks to find. Because doing that would be grounds for immediate termination, either from LEGO or from the TV production company.

2Did you had the time to think about the other kraata powers that tahu can have?
3I think you have omitted this ^^'
4Otherwise, I've questions about Velika.5When he transferred his consciousness into a Po-Matoran body, this body was created for the occasion or he stole the body to a Matoran already alive?
6If the second option is the good one, the Matoran's consciousness/IA was completely delete or it is always inside the body, blocked by Velika's mind (a little as Dekar-Hydraxon and Dekar's mind)?

2I never wrote anything for that, so there is no content to discuss.
