Amazing.

And in case people are wondering, that's why we've broken the "most users online" record. We were linked in the Q&A post.

I am weighing my options, as to whether registering on Reddit would be worth it just to talk to KAA, and then I would never need to use Reddit again...

     I don't think she answered my question... :(

     Thank you, Katherine. I nearly get my butt kicked by a drug dealer on a hunt for your books, and you can't even tell me if Rachel killed David?

     :P

I'd have loved the opportunity to tell her everything I felt. But I'm just not going through the hassle of signing up for yet another forum account. Would be nice if she swung by here though.

Reading those posts I can definitely say it's her. She writes the same way she did all those years ago when she responded to readers' letters on the original Animorphs forum. (Although dropping the BS bomb in Reddit was certainly an interesting change of pace. :p)

Her comments are gold in tune, I agree! Bless the lady.
I kinda feel like registering up, but got enough to keep me distracted at the mo.

And it's amazing how if she banters something like "So sorry to get you into writing. What a horrible thing to inflict on you. Should have just sold you crack" people think she is THE coolest human being... just because she used the word crack...

There are some awesome insights:
"The most fun to write was probably Marco or Rachel, although I identified most with Cassie. Cassie was closest to being me. She was ambivalent, and inconsistently moralistic, and didn't dress well, and was into animals.
"
"I'm not happy with the EW ending. Basically I overcommitted. We could keep up with 140 pages a month -- barely -- but Everworld was 250. We got in over our heads."

And comments like "I don't usually use real people. Michael used the kids for GONE and then ended up horrified when he realized he'd hooked up our "son" and "daughter" romantically." are real crackers.

There's a hillarious one where she states that she doesn't want to comment on Twilight in case she ends up doing jello shots with Stephenie Meyer at some point.

EDIT: Found it. XD

"Uh, here's the thing. We authors congregate at the same venues sometimes (book festivals, strip clubs). So I have to consider the possibility that Stephanie Meyer and I will be downing Jello shots together at some point, and she'll be asking me why I said that **** about her on Reddit."

     Alright...Applegate swearing?

     Childhood just died a little :P

     Still funny. Just wish the Animorphs swore, since their creator doesn't seem to mind using a "few choice words".

My favorite quote from reading that:
