So I'm XenoFrobe. Just finished the series about a month or two ago, loved it so much. Now I need people to talk about it with, seeing as I can't convince my sister to read it. So now I'm here.
I'm writing a bunch of fanfic, of which I'll probably post a chapter or two, and keep at it as I write. It's an "after the end" type deal, starting with book #55 and continuing possibly up to book #60, with plans for a plot-integral Chronicles and a Megamorphs on the side. I realize these kinds of fics aren't always the best, but I plan on keeping a good grip on the themes and respecting pre-existing plotlines as they stand. No contriving to revive Rachel, no making Tobias magically forget all his worries and be happy forever, no ending on a bunch of high-fives and backslapping. Those aren't my issues with the ending. I just feel like pulling a new villain out of absolutely nowhere at the last minute, with no previous connection to existing plots whatsoever, solely to ambiguously kill off your cast is not the best writing technique.
Rocks fall! Everyone dies!
Anyway, yeah. Love the series, love the characters, love the themes, love everything.
