I really hope the 'nasty letter' just said 'take the eBooks down, or else' and not 'take the eBooks down, you're in trouble already'. :(

Ok I asked this before but the re-releases, are they improved versions of the old ones or just a continuation to them? o_0

Ah ok makes sense. Hopefully they don't change too much but considering how people will want something new...fat chance.

Plus I bet that people will ask me, "Wait you based your fic on the old series? C'mon! The new ones' out so you might as well follow that! I wonder if you're an old person to still read those books."

I'm darkly curious what the letter said. :P This reminds me awkwardly of Serebii and Poke(r)Beach being required to take down their images when Nintendo got pithy.

Coral, Scholastic is the publishing company of Animorphs. K.A. and Mr. Grant wrote them; Scholastic printed them.

well if they decide to back out, i am assuming that the staff of this board had the foresight to keep the files on hand, we can easily put them back up should they decide that there isn't enough interest in redoing the series.

assuming that we still have them...
