All the e-books...

*sigh*

Going to guess that the publishers came down hard then.

Man, that sucks. I can just imagine how many fans were re-kindled to these series by these e-books. People are going to miss out.

Wait...the ebooks are gone?

-entire body shatters-

Oh god...now I have no reference for my fic and there's no Animorphs books in any of the libraries or second hand shops here in Singapore...

-sulks in a corner-

Man, my reaction exactly. Japan doesn't exactly have copies out there for the taking... gonna have to find a torrent or something, now :(

Yup it sucks. What's more the books in the libraries are declared as either 'missing' or 'gone'. Sigh, guess torrents are the only opinion if I want to write a good fic properly buuut....I don't exactly trust torrents :\

Ah well, nothing to do then....sigh TT^TT

Btw out of curiosity, are these re-releases like say improved versions of the old ones or just new books? Cuz that's gonna make me wonder if I'll have to completely redo my fic to fit the re-releases....sigh...

I won't condone stealing, but THE thing is, you'd have to be a PIRATE to keep the authorities at BAY. They will SEARCH for you...

Agreed.

My biggest question is if all Animorphs forums are being requested to take down their copies of the eBooks... hmmm.... *heads over to another, but less popular, Animorphs forum to check*

I think it would be a must for all forums to take them down...but I kinda thought this was the only forum here who had the ebooks. The old one I was in was just a...well forum that slowly died out.

yeppers, though the other one I'm thinking of, doesn't allow you to get them without having a minimum post count I think.

What I find funny, is that Richard had DYK blog posts queued up about the ebooks. lol

Also since stealing is no-no and I don't trust torrents...I guess I got no choice but to discontinue my Animorphs fic and the fanart. I have no reference to help me with.

What a bummer... I really liked writing my fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6308284/1/Alteramorphs_0_The_Alteration and drawing the art related to it (can be found here http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6414.0)

...I'm gonna go back to playing Persona 3 Portable to take my pain away... =_=

What books did you use? All of them or just a select few? Because I'm sure there are members here who have saved them and would be willing to send you them. I, unfortunately, never saved any of them, because I own all of them and there was no need.... Ask around.

Ah ok. And that's kinda mean to me. :x

I think I also noted several topics that has to do with the ebooks...wonder what everyone's reaction will be.... -ducks and cover-

Guess we all can't do anything related to the ebooks. Fanfics, fanart, and topics related...sigh

Well, my fic set after the Sickness and after David was turned into a rat (relevant to the story line). I already have started a few chps with those books but when it comes to maybe like fights with Visser Three, I'm still not sure how to write.

Basically, any book I have my hand on that gives references kinda helps me with the fic. :X Like the interaction between Marco and Rachel (elbow in the gut) etc etc

And I also have thought of future fics continuing from my first one (OH HELL! BRAIN! STOP THINKING!) and goes along the timeline with the rest of the books...so yeah...

Bleeeh...I think I went too far for this one fic. X__x

Good thing I already have them all.
