So I've got an idea for an Animorphs fanfic, but I want feedback on it first.
Ok, so it takes place in the real world, and everyone from here all meets at an RAFcon, where we have special guest speaker K.A. Applegate. I don't know how I plan to reveal it yet, but I plan on having K.A. Applegate actually be an Andalite trapped on Earth, and that's her human form, and she wanted to tell people about the invasion, but knew she'd the Yeerks would either cover it up, or have her killed, so she went into hiding and wrote the book series as a way to bring the attention of it all to the world, but then when the Yeerks were defeated in real life, then she wrote an ending to the series as people no longer needed to know about the invasion.
However the Yeerks have returned, and the Andalites are all gone back to their planet, except K.A. who decided to stay as she had fallen in love with a human (her husband), but they have no way of contacting the Andalites to let them know that the Yeerks have returned.
Now, back at the RAFcon, she selects 5 or 6 of us to get 'the power' to fight the new Yeerk invasion, and it'll also be revealed that some of the others of us, that were not selected to be Animorphs, are actually controllers.
So thoughts, ideas, criticism, already been done? Yes, no?

That's brilliant! I'm doing something very vaguely similar (with KA as the Ellimist), but I think I actually like your direction better. My story has the actual Animorphs finding out that everything they're doing is already written in a book, and the confusion that results, and how their story would diverge from the books KA/the Ellimist actually wrote.
As far as I know, this hasn't been done. But you should hear it from some of the more experienced RAFians for confirmation on that.
Just out of curiousity . . . who are the 5 or 6 going to be? Lol, you could make me a controller . . . because I'd be the last person anyone would suspect. >:D

lol, I have no idea yet. The only stuff I've thought up at the moment, is what I've got posted above.
-
That sounds like a good idea! 8)
-
Sounds great!
-
it sounds really good, what better place to find fighters for a yeerk invasion than the greatest animorph fansite on the face of the planet....
of corse the whole writeing the book series as a way to bring the attention of the yeerk invasion was not fiction any way...
-
that's an excellent idea.
write a rough draft, i'd like to see it :)

This sounds really cool. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
-
Sounds very cool. I am definitely in favor of inserting RAFians into fanfics (like RAFGone, which I can't find for some reason).
-
RAFian fanfics are always the best. cuz we know the story so well inside out. also its cool when we make guest apperanced in them ;D
-
This sounds liek a really unique idea. No really, it does. Would there be things that she changed in the books or omitted/added?
-
Well the characters and such would have been made-up. The books themselves would still be fiction, like there were no real Animorphs in real life, ect, but the info in them in regards to the Yeerks, Andalites, technology, ect, would all be true.
-
This sounds awesome! I would love to read it!
-
I approve

I approve as well.
Also, will it be realistic? People's reaction to war?
Sometimes people write it in a way that it very unrealistic, they're...very pro fighting and it doesn't seem that killing other people affects them. There are too many stories like that.
As I recall from what Alloran said (fictional he may be) "Then be quiet, fool. Those who have been to war understand. Those who have not have no opinion worth hearing. Even those who return from war may never really come home."
The gist of it, is that if you were to put this into the real world, the kids she chooses must have reactions that reflect how real human beings react.
I know a lot of people here would say, in bravado, they would fight and they wouldn't have a problem. Or they would be like Rachel and kill them all.....
Anyways, good luck.

Just letting people know that I've started the rough version of the first story. However, before I even finished the first page, I got stumped cause I realize I don't know very many people's first names. I know some, but not nearly as many as I should, lol.
So, if you want to be a apart of it, just leave your first name's in the thread. No guarantee you'll be a main character, or even in the first story (After all, I need characters for later-on in the series), but I promise you'll make it in at some point, in some capacity. Also, there are some I already know the names of, so those will also be included as characters, even if they don't post in here. However, I'm far too lazy to list who';s names I know, so to be on the safe side, just list them here anyway, lol. Also, no need for last names (You can if you want, but last names won't be included in the fic).
