INTRODUCING: BATTLE FOR LEADERSHIP REDUX
An old project on the Custom BIONICLE Wiki is being remade from scratch
It is happening! Ever since I started working on “Music Inspired by BIONICLE: Vol. II”, I’ve felt myself getting progressively reconnected with Bionicle’s lore and universe, which in turn, has given me inspiration I haven’t had in a very long time. And thus, I think this marks the perfect time to mark my return to the Custom BIONICLE Wiki, which I will start with what I’d like to call Battle for Leadership Redux.
This will be a complete retelling of what I was intending to do with the so-called “Organization of Darkness War”-saga, a multi-layered side-story that can sit alongside the main canon, as well as other fanons in the Bionicle-multiverse. The original “Battle for Leadership” was written from the side of a fifteen year old, who was overly edgy and clueless about what he was doing. This new version will be told in a more focused direction, as well as adding newer elements, characters and locations, in a way that it will make sense alongside the canon.
Another thing I’ve decided to do with the “Redux” is to fuse the other stories connected to the OoD-war saga. Thus you will see elements from other stories like “The New Union”, “Beginning of the Darkness”, “Around the Universe in 80 Days” as well as drafts from defunct projects like “Ceasame’s Blog” and “Brothers in Arms: Legendary Battle” intertwined with the original “Battle for Leadership”. I want to do it this way, to make it easier for the reader to follow, as well as not putting too much work on myself.
As for how often you should expect new chapters, I’ll be focusing on releasing each part of every chapter in my own pace. So you can expect that it’s going to take some time for all chapters to be fully complete.
This will also make it easier for me to figure out the roadmap for ongoing projects like “League of the Exiled” and “The Sitrius Duty”. I can already confirm that I’ll be switching between “Battle for Leadership” and “League…”, and once the former is fully complete, I’ll jump straight into “The Sitrius Duty”.
I’m hoping that this will be the beginning of something great, and not just a whimper. Whether or not I manage to succeed remains to be seen, but I’m hoping that you guys are willing to take this journey with me.
Expect the first segment of chapter one to come sometime in the next two to three weeks. And with that… I’m going to jump straight to work.
Love and peace!
