For the past year, I have been running around all over the Internet trying to get a complete collection of the Animorphs books. A couple weeks ago, I recieved my copy of #46: The Deception, completing my task.
After getting all the books and starting to read them again, I have noticed many errors in them. Spelling, mis-numbered chapters, etc. Here's my plan...
I'm going to be using the Animorph eBooks on this site to 'fix' the books as it were. I want to edit the spelling and grammatical errors, and fix the chapter count (ex. Chapter 21 of The Alien is labeled as Chapter 22, small stuff like that.)
So here's the thing... I'm going to assume I won't find all the errors. If there are any errors that you remember in the series, let me know in the comments and I'll make a note of it.
At approx. 10,300 pages in the series, the task will take a while, giving everyone else on the site some time to let me know of glaring errors that you find if you wish to help. I'll be looking for them as I go as well.
Once it is finished, I will post the books online for all.
Give me some feedback on this endeaver, let me know what you think.
Thanks!!

I think someone already has compiled lists of KASU's

Google is your friend. As voodoqueen said, there are numerous lists of KASUs (Katherine Applegate Screws Up) out there.
And THE CAPS LOCK KEY IS RIGHT BELOW TAB. PLEASE STOP SHOUTING.

In The Exposed, there's a part towards the end where there is a backwards though-speak symbol.
Example: >Sentence.> Sorry, I don't remember the actual sentence.

i meant on the forum. i'm not personally looking for it myself.

it's an interesting idea, but are we even going to all agree on what "mistakes" really mean?
For instance, there are a number of times throughout the series that Toby or other Hork-Bajir use thought-speech. I was convinced that these were mistakes, but is it ever explicitly stated that they can't? IDK!
And especially with this fandom, good luck getting anyone to agree with anything /bitter
-
i'd go for punctuation (or other obvious) mistakes first, tackle the KASUs later.
that reminds me, i better get the anibase (http://www.scholastic.com/animorphs/books/download.htm) on this computer.

youre not looking yourself? not even at the first link, which has a very nice list of most of the kasu, including a lot of typeos, which is exactly what you are looking for?
-
i mean i have no desire to look for it.
i was just suggesting for the thread's sake that voodoo provide a link, since it might help skipper.

Let me explain... I am NOT going to write out all the KASUs. I'm focusing on grammatical errors, punctuation, spelling, etc. The mistakes in the series such as Jake thought-speaking to Tobias as a human, etc. are part of the series. I wouldn't want to change those. Hope that helps.
-
No I have no idea where i saw the website listing KASU's, it was ages ago.
This makes Raskipper the opposite of me, i can learn to ignore the grammar errors, but i would like fanon to decide on the KASU's

Raskipper, we need somebody like you in the Ebooks project!
I'd like to see the ebooks with no mistakes, not even the grammatical and punctuation mistakes we see in the true books. Would you like to join our team? Please!
