Fanon Contests
Prior to Greg Farshtey, the writer for most of the books and web serials, leaving LEGO in 2022, TTV hosted a number of Canon Contests for characters with no canon visual depictions, where the winners would be officially canonized by Greg. Greg left LEGO during the preparations for the Toa Tuyet contest when many of the potential participants already completed their entries. The Toa Tuyet contest ended up being hosted by DuckBricks as the first of the unofficial Fanon Contests. Despite being non-canon this page uses the winning entries of the Fanon Contests due to the lack of any visual representation of some characters.
