    <content type="html">Not sure if we've done this yet but which character can you relate to the most? I find as I often do in my fandoms that I'm like multiple characters. I relate most to Cassie because of her love of animals (and questionable fashion sense lol)but also Tobias because I was a loner who was bullied through school. And I've always wanted to fly, ever since I was a kid, though maybe not stay a bird forever.</content>

    <title>What teenagers can do</title>
    <published>2008-07-22T14:10:28Z</published>
    <updated>2008-07-22T21:29:09Z</updated>
    <content type="html">So not too long ago there was a discussion about if the ages of the Animorphs are believable. Well, I've been trying to read Stephen King's &lt;u&gt;The Dark Tower&lt;/u&gt; series and am currently on &lt;u&gt;Wizard &amp; Glass&lt;/u&gt;. In that book (which is almost entirely backstory that they've hinted at in the first three books), the main character is 14. The oldest any of his friends may be is 16, including his love interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, it was just sort of a slap back to reality when I realized I'm &lt;i&gt;seven years older&lt;/i&gt; than the main character in this story. (As it sometimes is when I remember i'm now a fair bit older than the Animorphs.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, really it was just a bizarre realization- we have a Roland Deschain who is maybe a year or so older than the Animorphs. Which leads to the obvious question of- Roland's &lt;i&gt;ka-tet&lt;/i&gt; versus the Animorphs? Who would win? Would the gunslinger be screwed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another question- that I've probably asked before, but my computer is so without internet it's painful and this post is coming from the on-campus computer lab- does anyone know if &lt;u&gt;Take These Broken Wings&lt;/u&gt; is still up anywhere? That used to be my favorite fanfic of all time. I'm currently killing time before class reading another one (from a rec list in the community), but I sort of want to re-read that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;edit&lt;/b&gt;: I fail at teh html early in the morning.</content>

    <title>animorphs as cultural time capsule</title>
    <published>2008-07-21T21:44:42Z</published>
    <updated>2008-07-21T21:44:42Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Hello, all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I want to thank whoever posted all the books as text files awhile back. I downloaded the zip file at the time and kind of forgot about it, but in February I left for my Peace Corps placement in the Dominican Republic. I'm a little short on English-language books around here, but I rediscovered the Animorph books on my laptop and rejoiced! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently finished re-reading the entire series (including all the side books) and quite enjoyed the experience, although I had forgotten (and in some cases never read in the first place) some of the more ridiculous things that happened in the series. (Helmacrons, anyone?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I also enjoyed the books on a new level: painstakingly detailed cultural time capsule of the mid-to-late 1990s in America. It's all there. AOL, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Baywatch... even the way she always described every store that the mall contained. Amazing. Future anthropologists could probably reconstruct 1990s America solely from these books.</content>

    <category term="series re-read"/>
    <content type="html">Since the regular poster doesn't seem to be back yet, I'll pick it up again. A story like this had to come eventually; a series involving aliens wouldn't be complete without a foray into a secret area that's obviously meant to be Area 51. Throw in yeerk-infested horses, a racetrack visit, and a battle at The Gardens to complete the fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've heard mixed thoughts on this book. I'm not quite sure what my conclusions are at the moment. There were some fun parts, like someone-Cassie? I forget-saying it's a strange world when a woman called Crazy...Alice, is it? forgot again, sorry...is at least partly right. And some of the interaction at the base was funny, though risky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For one question, I have to wonder if the yeerks ever infested any other animals besides horses and humans. And a bigger question, what do we think about what the secret turned out to be? Should it have been different?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not able to come up with any prompts this time, sorry. But if anyone else can, feel free to post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;edit: d'oh I forgot the tag, sorry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should all know the rules by now; I'm not a stickler for posting them each week like our regular re-read person but I do think it wise to at least remind people to follow them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next week: #15: The Escape</content>

    <title>SKUNKS!</title>

    <updated>2008-07-19T04:37:09Z</updated>
    <content type="html">I was on my back porch, on the first floor of the house, and a skun kcame walking by really, really close. All I could think of was the Cassie book when she morphed a skunk. I just kept running the skunk warning signs (the tail facing you tip up... then tip down...) and the descriptions of how a skunk sprays someone. I just pictured that super-accurate rapid fire skunk urine hitting me in the face. You can bet I stayed very still... After a few minutes, he left, and so did I. If you think about it, a Skunk morph would probably be one of the best battle morphs on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wasn't there a part in that book where a Hork-Bajir got sprayed in the face and ran away. A Hork-Bajir running from a skunk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viser Three probably had him killed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd run too.</content>

    <updated>2008-07-17T03:35:11Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Was anyone else aware that The Andalite Chronicles was also released as three seperate books? I came accross it in the computer catalog, or the second one anyway. Alloran's choice. Amazon has only Elfangor's Journey available, Alloran's Choice is unavailable I think and An Alien Dies isn't listed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bigger question: What were the covers like? Anyone got scans? And were any other Chronicles books released that way?</content>

Applegate as well as all characters seen in this story. And the title comes from a Jack's Mannequin song called ''Kill The Messenger.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;author's note:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I was looking at Animorph fan art and came across &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs29/300W/f/2008/151/5/2/5295ef8535e0f730064b7fa9577a1f20.jpg"&gt;&lt;u&gt;this&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It's a made up fan cover of Animorphs and it's pretty awesome. Anyway, I was thinking who could that girl be on the cover? At first I thought it was Rachel but no that girl has dark hair. Then I was thinking, 'Maybe it's Jordan.' And then...bam, a fic idea! &lt;br /&gt;I would also like to say that this was really hard for me to write. I've been toying with the idea of a Jordan!fic for a very long time (read: two or three years). This is not how I planned it. In fact, I hate the ending of this. So feel free to critique me. I want to make this a long postwar!fic, but I need to change some things first. And without further ado...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;- - -&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;A Waking Nightmare That Is Only Worse When I'm Sleeping&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;- - -&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She dyed her hair when she hit college. The blonde hair she saw every time she looked in a mirror reminded her too much of Rachel. Everything in their house - especially how close her room was to &lt;i&gt;Hers&lt;/i&gt; - reminded her of Rachel. The way Rachel's window was always open. The way Rachel's things were still in her drawers and closet as if she would just waltz back into their lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She had gone through high school easily. She was fairly smart so academically she did well. She was on the girl's soccer team for the first two years of high school. She wanted to be different. Her mother had asked her to join the gymnastics team, but she refused. Another thing that would always remind her of &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt;. When she quit the soccer team because she was tired of it, Mom again had tried to push her to the gymnastics. Mom asked so much it pushed her to the edge. She started taking up with the kids people said were a 'bad crowd'; smoking and drinking to her became the norm. She lost her virginity when she was drunk and all she hazily remembered was how the boy called her &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt; name. RachelRachelRachel. She stopped hanging out with them in junior year to focus on good grades and looking at colleges. The smoking stopped but the occasional drink became frequent in senior year when parties were all the rage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Jordan wasn't Rachel. She wasn't a gymnastics star. She wasn't beautiful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Mom often called her Rachel sometimes. She called her Rachel when she was talking to her on the phone. She used to call her Rachel when she looked at her. People used to say they looked like twins, even though Rachel was two years older, with their blonde hair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;- - -&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"We're so glad you could make it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Translation: Thank you for skipping your final exams to come here. We really appreciate it. Now come over here and comfort me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She bite her lip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Mom looked upset, but Aunt Jean looked far worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Jordan, what did you do to your hair?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	That angered her. What was wrong with her hair? She had just added highlights to the dyed brown and she thought it looked good. It was different, it wasn't blonde. It wasn't &lt;i&gt;Hers&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	At a time like this, her younger sister Sara was concerned about her &lt;i&gt;hair&lt;/i&gt;. It was ridiculous. Sara should be mourning the loss with the rest of them. Of course, Sara would care about looks. She and &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt; were so similar in that aspect. Even though &lt;i&gt;She&lt;/i&gt; wasn't around to see it. They both loved shopping and looking good and perfect and not a hair out of place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"I'm sorry."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Jordy," Her mother sniffed. "There wasn't anything you could've done about it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Translation: You should've been here to stop it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She hated how now that &lt;i&gt;She&lt;/i&gt; was gone, Jordan was expected to pick up the pieces. To be in her place. That's why she had left the area as soon as she could. That's why she had chosen the college on the East Coast to get away from the sunshine and everything that reminded her of &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She wasn't Superwoman. She wasn't Catwoman. She didn't have that alien technology &lt;i&gt;She&lt;/i&gt; had. And most certainly, she was not &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt;. Therefore, she couldn't stop the death from happening. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"I need a cigarette." She exited the funeral home before her mother could tell her she thought she'd quit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She stepped onto the gravel in her black pants and black t-shirt. She felt so - what was the word teenagers used today? - emo. Black did not suit her. It never had. Not when she was a blonde, not when she was a brunette. She opened her black purse and fished around for the Marlboro red box. She grabbed it and took it out, not bothering to shut her purse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Hey kid, can I have one?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Jordan looked up to find a dark haired man standing before her. He looked familiar but she couldn't place him. Dark hair, tanned skin, a smirk. Where had she seen him before?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She handed him a cigarette and then lit her own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"It...this sucks." The man exhaled the white smoke. "This sucks. He was my best friend. My fucking best friend."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Then it hit her. This was Marco. Marco, whom she had a crush on during her teenage years. She thought he was cute. He was funny, she remembered. Now he looked older and like he had seen the world (sort of like Jake). Maybe he had. She didn't know him, she didn't know what he had seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Is Cassie here?" He stuck the cigarette in his mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She shrugged her shoulders. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She hadn't seen Cassie since &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt; funeral. She had heard Cassie had done well for herself, making some sort of Peace Movement Agreement something or other. She had gotten together with someone other than Jake, some guy named Ronnie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Well, she should be. She practically caused his fucking suicide."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She threw her finished cigarette to the ground. He eyed her and mumbled something about having Rachel's cheekbones, about being someone in the family. She glared at him (she wasn't &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt;) and stomped like a spoiled child back into the funeral home. She found Aunt Jean and Uncle Steve crying, sitting in the pew, and Mom playing with a crumpled tissue. Sara looked like she'd rather be at the mall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around, expecting to find Marco. Instead, she found a sad-eyed boy with messy hair and clothes too big for him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Rachel." He whispered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	The tears poured from her eyes. She was tired of this. Everyone always compared to her to &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt;. She'd played soccer, smoked, drank, dyed her hair - all to escape that. But no, apparently, the Fates still had it in them for someone to still think she was &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"I'm sorry." He whispered. "I...I thought you were someone else."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"Somebody always does." She bitterly spat and headed to the front pew where her mother was sitting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	The boy didn't follow her. She sat down next to her mother, on the other side of her was Sara, and grabbed her mother's hand. She sniffed and wiped away the remaining tears. Girls like Jordan didn't cry, and &lt;i&gt;especially&lt;/i&gt; not for petty things like being compared to her older sister. She rubbed her mother's hand gently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	"It's so sad, Jordy." Mom spoke barely above a whisper. "Auntie Jean lost both her boys, both of them to the war."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	She wanted to say 'yeah it sucks,' but she didn't. She couldn't. Her mouth wouldn't move. Yes, Aunt Jean and Uncle Steve had lost Tom and Jake, both of them to the war. She didn't know what was sadder: a human Controller or a boy-man so lost from the war that this new world destroyed him. She wanted to say 'yeah it sucks, but &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; lost two daughters to the war,' but she didn't. She couldn't. She wouldn't ever say that to her mother. Bringing up &lt;i&gt;Her&lt;/i&gt; to her mother was like a death sentence.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	There were a few things said about him. People told cute stories and Jake's cousins from his other side of the family told funny stories. People gave their 'sorry's and hugged her. Then there was the coffin in the grave thing and Jordan held her mother's arm the whole time. She watched as Aunt Jean, Uncle Steve and other family members threw dirt on the coffin. Some sort of Jewish custom. (Her father hadn't been a very good Jew.) Dad was standing near Uncle Steve and Sara was holding his hand like she was a little girl. She went back to the house with the rest of the family and she swore she saw Cassie standing outside the house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	The war had torn everything and everyone apart.</content>

    <content type="html">We're discussing the first of the four chronicles books this week, The Andalite Chronicles. It tells some of the backstory that happened before the Yeerks came to Earth Animorphs got their power. We meet Elfangor as a young Aristh, and another Aristh named Arbon who we'll meet again later. We also meet War-Prince Alloran and the future Visser Three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple good prompts might be Arbron's thoughts after getting trapped in morph (how exactly did it happen? I can't find it in the book) or Elfangor's thoughts after he saw what happened to Alloran. Anyone got any more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't come up with any good questions...anyone else have any? Oh yeah...someone said they didnt think the Chronicles books were as good as they could have been. Want to elaborate on that? I forget who it was though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully our regular poster will return next week, as he said he'd be gone two weeks. (she?) And we'll be discussing The Unknown, book 14</content>

    <content type="html">Does anyone happen to recall a brief mention of Roswell (the TV show) in one Animorphs book? I recall it was something that was going on and someone said that people just thought it was a publicity thing "like for that show Roswell" or something like that. Spiletta, I brought this here so we wouldn't get dragged too off topic at the other board, I hope you don't mind :) And because I don't recall which book it is but thought someone else might.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Book one question (I know I should have waited and asked during Saturday's reread post but...)Why didn't Elfangor jut morph to heal himself? Did he not have time because of talking to the kids?</content>

    <title>Iskoort?</title>

    <updated>2008-07-10T05:08:30Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Did the Iskoort have any point whatsoever in the end to how the Yeerks chose to be, seeing as they got the morphing powers to choose a form anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was an interesting possibility that sort of just ended up being dust in the wind. I mean, I'm glad they were saved, but in the end it didn't really benefit the Animorphs or humanity at all assuming that the possibility for Yeerks to see another option just vanished into the wind when they were offered the ability to become something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also - Mr. Tidwell and voluntary controllers dedicated to the movement against forceful enslavement of hosts. Where it was more of a symbiosis (Mr. Tidwell unable to really live after his wife's demise) than parasitic. That was another interesting possibility. They talked about morph therapy, but no one ever talked about Yeerks being used in the case of people like Mr. Tidwell who were in so much depression that enslavement actually ended up being more symbiotic and beneficial to them recovering and learning to live after being struck particularly deep by grief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arbron, Tobias, Elfangor when he was human - it seems to be Andalites over time might have figured out how to return them to their birth forms, or at the very least, be able to give a &lt;i&gt;nothlit&lt;/i&gt; the ability to morph again. If Tobias could have become human and regained the ability to morph yet again in particular, do you think he'd have done it? I suppose after Rachel's death it didn't matter anyway. But I did wonder about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mertil and the whole &lt;i&gt;vecol&lt;/i&gt; business. Would Andalites not have had prosthetics or regeneration abilities despite all their technology involving genetic change and manipulation (morphing for one)? Currently humans have reached a sort of breakthrough with regenerative science that most people don't even know about (even without stem-cell research and cloning). Sixty Minutes a few months back did a segment on a powder they applied to someone who had lost the last third of their finger in an accident - the finger grew back in weeks (something involving pig liver, it stimulated cell growth in the area instead of the body's desire to immediately stop the bleeding, creating scar tissue). Granted, this can't be applied to something as large as a tail so far, but... if things keep going at this rate, who knows where we'll be in twenty years?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly - opinion - do you think the Andalites were ever informed that Tobias was the son of Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul? I personally wondered what the reaction would be to that... Elfangor having passed as a human before.</content>

    <content type="html">So, for many, many years now I've assumed that Jake was Jewish.  I remember there being a quote from an Ax book about how Jake's family prayed before a meal but Cassie's family didn't.  But even though I can't remember what propted this thought, I've just never questioned my brain when it told me he's Jewish.  Surely there was something in the books that prompted this?  Does anyone know what it was?  Did anyone else think he was Jewish besides me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asking this because Michael &lt;s&gt;Reynolds&lt;/s&gt;Grant said &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/animorphs/407297.html?thread=4907521#t4907521"&gt;he never thought of Jake as Jewish&lt;/a&gt;.</content>

    <content type="html">So, I vanished off the Earth mysteriously some months ago. It wasn't actually mysterious; I had a lot going on at home -- my grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer, my grandmother's liver problem is getting worse and worse... All that lovely stuff that makes one want to crawl into a hole and forget everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I've been doing a lot better, and I have a funny anecdote from Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm sort of becoming Jewish (half my family is Jewish, but not my mother, hence I am not Jewish by birth). I go to synagogue a lot; weekly when able. They especially need people on Saturday to get the minimum of 10 people required to create a minyan (if they can't get one, I don't think they can pull out the Torah and would be limited to prayers from the siddurim, but that's besides the point).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there we were, staving off things trying to give a chance to get that magical number of 10 - I don't count, not being Jewish technically (in Orthodox I wouldn't count being female, but we're not talking Orthodox).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden, there's a tapping noise at the glass door right behind me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked around, and there's a red-tailed hawk hovering right outside the door, tapping the window!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rabbi looks over at the door, I meet his gaze with a pretty shocked expression, and then because he couldn't see what was making the noise he ignored it and went back to services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards people were joking about the hawk trying to help make a minyan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... And, well, it totally reminded me of Animorphs, naturally. Particularly book one where Tobias is trying to get into Jake's room...</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I haven't posted to this community before, but like many of you, I loved Animorphs while growing up and still love the books, reread them, etc.&amp;nbsp; Lately my boyfriend has been reading them for the first time, at my urging, and we sometimes read them out loud together.&amp;nbsp; My boyfriend knows other series quite well (Buffy, Harry Potter, comic books, and some others) and he writes and draws comic books, so he tends to look at things from the standpoint of what does and does not make a good story.&amp;nbsp; Anyway, we just finished 19 today, which he said was creatively the best Animorphs book he's read yet.&amp;nbsp; But he also suggested something interesting which I'd never thought of before.&amp;nbsp; He thought that the loophole which allowed Cassie to demorph was pretty contrived, which I guess it is.&amp;nbsp; But he also said that he thought the book would have been ever greater and more powerful had she stayed in the butterfly form.&amp;nbsp; He said that given her character arc, it would have been a fitting (if highly disturbing) conclusion for her, and a truly beautiful sacrifice.&amp;nbsp; He even suggested that the last chapter could have just been Rachel meeting Karen at the mall.&amp;nbsp; Of course those of us who've read the entire series know how much that would have changed things, and he did say he knows why no one would actually do that in a "YA" series.&amp;nbsp; But I thought that was a really interesting idea.&amp;nbsp; I know I would have been very unsettled by one of the main characters living out her life as a butterfly, but at the same time it would have been really powerful.&amp;nbsp; Any thoughts on this idea?&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hanging out with the family this weekend and just had to run down to here to say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My cousin is 13.  I haven't seen him in about four years, so just the 'OMG, you're tall' was a bit of a shock but then I realized...he's 13.  And I just thought 'hell no, 13 can't fight aliens.  No.  No, no, no.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was about that age when I first picked up Animorphs, and the age thing didn't bother me a bit.  And since growing out of that age (and all my friends growing with me) I haven't had much occasion to hang out with young teens.  Maybe it's more the family aspect making me go "NOOOOOOOOO!  You're going to stay cute and five-years-old FOREVEEEEEEER!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But did the age of the kids ever bother you in the books?  Did it used to not bother and then later did?  I know I tend to think of characters as ageless when I read.  Did the same when I read Ender's Game.  But faced with a living, breathing, soap-eating 13 year-old, I have to wonder...</content>

    <content type="html">In a series this long, there are some absolutely brilliant books, and also some rather dodgy ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which books are your favourites?&amp;nbsp; What do you guys think are the highlights (and the lowlights) of the series?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Here are my picks ..."&gt;My picks for the best, and brief reasoning: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;8, The Alien&lt;/em&gt; – I love early Ax. Admittedly, this is not at all a tightly-plotted book, but it’s so much fun. The early books in general have a lot of charm.&lt;em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The David Trilogy (20-22)&lt;/em&gt; – this trilogy is a turning point in the series, I feel. In retrospect, it’s also the beginning of the end for Rachel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;29, The Sickness&lt;/em&gt; – Cassie isn’t my favourite character, but she kicks so much arse in this book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;33, The Illusion&lt;/em&gt; –&amp;nbsp;enter Taylor.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A dark book, but extremely gripping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The ending arc&lt;/em&gt; – there were a couple of meh books (&lt;font size="1"&gt;*cough*47*cough*&lt;/font&gt;), but I thought 45, 46, 49, 51 and 53 were all GREAT. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visser&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Andalite Chronicles&lt;/em&gt; – both fascinating accounts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And let’s face it, there were also some pretty subpar efforts in there. My picks for the worst: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;32, The Separation&lt;/em&gt; – an interesting if cracky idea, but poorly realized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;37, The Weakness&lt;/em&gt; – the Rachel-becoming-leader plot is a good premise, but IMO it was absolutely appallingly executed: the ghostwriter really dropped the ball here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;39, The Hidden&lt;/em&gt; – the Buffa-human and the Cassie-ant, ugh. Also, the plot is ripped off from MM1. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;44, The Unexpected&lt;/em&gt; – In a Cassie vs. Australia showdown, the contrived stereotypes won. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Books that weren’t bad per se, but were WTF: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;36, The Mutation&lt;/em&gt; – this book isn’t horribly written or boring (despite being obvious filler), but the Nartec ... I just can’t suspend that much disbelief, particularly as they have no significance to the overall series. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;42, The Journey&lt;/em&gt; – AKA the Magic Schoolbus one. I don’t hate this book, but it’s blatant filler.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">So, I like to get on deviantart every now and then and do a search for Animorphs fanart.  You know, just to see.  There's almost never anything new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I realized I was searching by 'most popular' instead of 'newest.'  Holy crap, guys, fanart is not dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Humans&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://crunkette.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-Rule-1-89109289"&gt;Morphing is not-so-rebellious, by crunkette&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://schreiend.deviantart.com/art/AM-Best-Friends-86392109"&gt;Best Friends, bu Schreiend&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lanini.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-Rachel-85256946"&gt;Rachel, by lanini&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://marinas.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-84077314"&gt;Animorphs, by Marinas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://jill-calico.deviantart.com/art/Aliens-Exist-80056085"&gt;Aliens Exist, bu jill-calico&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aliens&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://germandark.deviantart.com/art/Andalite-88264838"&gt;Andalite, by GermanDark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://schreiend.deviantart.com/art/AM-Kelbrid-Concept-87757645"&gt;Kelbrid Concept, by Schreiend&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://taesospiritdragon.deviantart.com/art/Erasthin-Terragrith-Sorenill-87328163"&gt;Erasthin-Terragrith-Sorenill, by TaesoSpiritDragon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://terenia.deviantart.com/art/Dak-Hamee-84231993"&gt;Dak Hamee, by Terenia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://juar.deviantart.com/art/Andalite-82732914"&gt;Andalite, by juar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mind-the-green-bits.deviantart.com/art/The-Past-80700551"&gt;The Past, by mind-the-green-bits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kintobor.deviantart.com/art/Aximilis-warning-74194932"&gt;Aximili's Warning, by kintobor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mintomay.deviantart.com/art/Andalite-1-73952748"&gt;Andalite1, by Mintomay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://crystallineessence.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-Book-Cover-87208237"&gt;Animorphs Book Cover, by CrystallineEssence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's just what I liked.  And just from the first 10 pages.  (Since Feb)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Edit:&lt;/b&gt; As much as I love (seriously!) getting comments, just want to make sure everyone's putting kudos up on the artists' pages.  All I did was gather links like a mad fangirl!</content>

    <content type="html">Other fandoms&amp;nbsp;seem to have rec lists up the wazoo, but I&amp;nbsp;haven't really come across any for Animorphs.&amp;nbsp; I posted a&amp;nbsp;reclist of shippy fics last week, but I was really building up to this, as most Animorphs fanfiction isn't romance-based.&amp;nbsp; Anyway, I collated all the favourites, bookmarks and memories I've been building up for the last while, and put this together.&amp;nbsp; Hope you enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( &lt;a href="http://julygreen.livejournal.com/2441.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monsterlist of Anific - at my journal.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;)</content>

    <content type="html">This should get interesting lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jake's decision to dump the yeerk pool on board the pool ship. Justified or not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How would you have had the series end if you could rewrite the ending? I know many of us would want Rachel to live...</content>
