Umm sorry?
I wrote a fanfic with this idea back in 06, focusing more on the JW conventions. But by the 3rd chapter it felt blasphemous to continue as well as the fact my character in it was a Mary Sue. So it was discontinued. I still think think it was an interesting angle for the series to try though, which is why I posted it up here.

I think it would have been difficult. The reason its so hard to infest to the point where you cant just discretely slip a yeerk in a random person on the street is because it hurts to have a yeerk crawling THROUGH your ear drum. Baptisms wouldn't work because that's half a second under. The best they could do is offer the higher membership and then get them down there volunterilly

The Yeerks inject a pain-killer so that the host won't feel pain during infestation.
