Well, the LEGO meme isn't actually mine. :P I found it online and thought it was worth sharing.

It won't turn into a sci-fi, Star Trek adventure, I assure you. :P The space travel portion of the story will most likely only last for about a chapter. :P I completely agree with your opinions on the Red Star. However, I think it would've been good if it had meant that the villains could have survived instead of the good guys. I would've liked to have seen the Makuta come back instead of the likes of Mavrah and Lhikan. But, alas, it's a terrible plot device and the one character we all wanted to come back - Matoro - is still dead. So nobody's happy. :(

Well, Zero Hour is another good place to start off as it links into every single story I've written. :P Many of the Matoran also appear in my other stories so it gives them a little bit of history leading up to their first appearances. However, it's meant to be read after you've read all of those stories so you can say "OH! That character was Ninian all along!" or "Oh! Sarnii had a husband before loving Torlo?!" XD But it will serve as an excellent introduction. :P

Dorvan will appear in Judgment Day and, I might as well reveal, he's going to replace Fractures Universe Glonor. :P I was originally going to give the role to alternate Glonor but Dorvan will be important too.

A lot of things we do are very similar. XD I'd planned the start of Zero Hour a year ago and, all of a sudden, you released the Prologue of Patriots and I was pulling my hair out because it was really similar! But I think it's pretty cool how we plan things in such an identical manner. :P So long as your future plans are your own I doubt I'll have any kind of problem with them. :P


 * 1) After re-reading Reign of Shadows, I get the feeling that the Great Beings are very Shakesperean. They're ancient entities who... really... haven't made anything that has worked properly. Zyglak. Krana. The Red Star broke. The Matoran Universe's inhabitants evolved beyond what they'd expected and it was even taken over by one such inhabitant, despite all their failsafes. Their Glatorian and Agori creations went to war and tore their home planet apart. And the Kanohi Ignika... that's the only thing they created that actually works, and it basically fixes everything else that they messed up. XD They are indeed god-like in that they have grown so distant from their creations.
 * 2) Yeah.... good one. XD The name if, however, only temporary. ;) Once he finds out his true history, he'll most likely abandon it.
 * 3) I would have to agree. :P In particularly, I always liked Macku, Kopeke and Tamaru due to their wonderful color schemes and mismatching of Kanohi that weren't the same as their respective Turaga or Toa. :P Hafu was always a wonderful character with all his self-promotion. But Kapura always bugs me. I don't know why, but I just don't like the character. XD
 * 4) Once again, I would have to agree. Dalu certainly was a powerful (though violent) female character who really stuck it to Hahli for being from Metru Nui and not having to fight every day of her life. I liked how blunt she was. Kazi and Velika also stuck my soft spot, though i never really felt anything for Balta and Garan.
