1) Where did the idea come from? Was it just a quickly-decided thought or one of those aging thoughts?
2) Malkii's (the main character) destiny seems to be in question, was this inspired by anything from Bionicle itself or outside?
3) Do you exactly intend to show that destiny, duty, unity etc play plots in are own lives?
4) Were do you mainly draw inspiration from and how long to you wish to carry An Echoed Fate on?
5) Do you have any tips for wannabe writers out their?
Ooh, interview yay! 

1) Kind of a mix, see, An Echoed Fate is the 'supposed' sequel for War of Mana Nui, so I kind of already knew what I was leaning for in the sequel, a lot of it just flashed in my mind, and I immediately would use those ideas, while others took me awhile to decide and if I could add them, work out, and so on.

2) The idea for Malkii was almost thought by myself, then I realized that I had accidentally inspired by the Video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, where in the game he is haunted with the same fate, that his destiny is to die, but he tries to defy it. I always loved that idea, a strange plotline for the main character, so I officially took it, wether he ends up dying or lives, I won’t tell.

3) If noticed to those have read my stories, I have a lot of points symbolizing the Virtues, and yes, I do. I think unity is important for a group, you must do your duty and everyone has a destiny.

4) I mainly draw my inspiration from Prince of Persia in this epic, where there are more ideas from the games that I will be using, though of course I will be careful to keep my originality in the story. But of course, I always get ideas at points from myself, reading books and watching movies, and even listening to music. It just matters.
I am not totally sure how long this will last, I already have the main points and what will happen planned out, but I am not sure when it will end exactly; I haven’t given up on it (Though I am currently stuck in a bit of mud right now how I should make the next chapter), and I am still unsure if I am going to make a sequel for this story, I have plans for other epics and it all matters on how my life works out.

5) There are quite a lot of tips I hope everyone knows! But I will show (In my opinion) 4 important things you should work on and what to do if you plan on writing:

1. I think this is most important: Practice. No matter how much tips you have, practice is the best thing, so that means write as much as you please, even if you don’t show it to other people, or even if it is one of those stories you never finish, practice makes perfect. I started really getting into writing when I was 9, and let me tell you that my first few stories were utterly awful, I had bad grammar, bad storyline, and so on and so forth. But now that I am nearly 15, that means I have been writing for at least 6 years, and I still need a lot of improving. So just don’t give up when you think you have failed, try again!

2. Think before writing, that means when you get an idea, just don’t just jump ahead to what you want to achieve, think about it, and the plot itself, you must have patience or it will looked rushed, I have read many epics that were good, but rushed, it looked like the writer was wanting to move along to storyline in his/her story, which is fine, but sometimes you need to slow down, just give a chapter or two devoted to learning about the character(s), the setting, and of course the plot.

3. Too much action can be a problem, many think that this is what the reader wants: Lots and lots of action, but too much can get boring, and it doesn’t always help in the story at times, sometimes it is more important to focus on the emotion of the story, the history, and so on. And it will also be vise versa, to little action will become unexciting, sometimes the story your writing (Usually a Short Story, rarely an epic) doesn’t need much action, but if you are not careful, it wont be exciting and you could loose readers.

4. And lastly, watch your plot holes, I bet some might some might be a bit confused with that saying, but basically it means when you are writing an epic, and the longer it gets, you need to be careful where it ends, that means plot holes are many places within a story that doesn’t explain the plot correctly later, or a few things are different than what it started to be. Usually this happens when the writer fails to remember what happened last in the epic, so he/she thinks it is something else. Even for the writer you will forget what happens in your stories, and if you haven’t updated in sometime, remember it is important to reread your story so you don’t mess or forget anything.
