I read on this board or the old board that Applegate might start 55-60. I was wondering if there was recent news on this. If she comes out with more books, I'd like to read them.
-
She said that she would like to, but it'd be up to Scholastic and not her. So, I wouldn't be expecting any new books if I were you...
-
Why up to scholastic? The books are out of print scholastic doesn't care. If she wrote more books that would just mean more money for them. What are the going to do confiscate her writing supplies. Also, since all the books are hosted here on RAF then she could easily create more books under a different name, call them fanfiction and upload them here for free. Remember copyright only applies when it comes to money.
-
Why not just write an online book? Publishing be darned, it would still be copyrighted.
-
Don't get yer hopes up, kiddies. It is royally unlikely that she's actually going to start the series up again, now that it has reached a conclusion-of-sorts. If she puts it on the Web, copyright laws would be in effect, but they would be utterly useless. It would take zero effort for any louse to copy it, re-word it a bit, and re-publish it, stealing the credit. I have several relatives in the publishing industry, and they gab a lot about copyrighting internet publications. They think it's a joke.
Ah, well. Believe what you like.
-
I would be most pleased if the series were dead. No movies, no more books, no tv shows. Leave the glory of it all as is.

You're afraid it might degrade over time, like some things do when they should have been ended earlier? Personally, I would have liked it to continue on to the Hork-Bajir homeworld. I figured they might when Jara and Ket were saved. I thought it might foreshadow something that could happen after the war on Earth.
It didn't go that way, though.
-
What she should do is a one more final kinda of thing. Write a long, I mean long, possibly more mature and darker story that could conclude everything. The problem is that already happened. The yeerks loose and now there is the mysterious one. I don't think the whole Cowboy Beebop movie angle would work. The sereis feels too concluded in a lot of respects. She would have to do something amazing, something so perfect that it could drag a series out of conclusion. I have no clue how someone could do this. I mean, she is the author and can probably find a way. Anything can happen.
-
new books i think its never goning to happen
-
I don't think new books would work. The ending didn't seem very ending like, but it did pretty much conclude. New books just wouldn't be necessary to me.
-
Scholastic still probably has a lot of the rights to The Animorphs.
-
I think that's why there are no more books. Scholastic. Because K.A. said it's up to scholastic.
-
I think they could make another book. The Elemist can step in and make it one final battle. Rachel and Cassie and Ax are all allowed back in it. But in the end Rachel must go back. Bear, Wolf, Tiger, Gorilla, Hawk, Andalite. And they face off against 6 equivalent evil aliens. They fight one last battle. Who knows if anyone dies in it, but it would be one helluv an exciting fight. And then the Animorphs win in the end. Ax returns to Earth, retired from combat as a war hero on the Andalite home world. He morphs human to eat snacks, but still goes back to Andalite within the 2 hours. Jake is still the group leader. He gets over the depression, kicks Cassie's new BF's butt, and takes her back as his wife. They have a family. Marco has a family with some blond girl who likes him for his fame. They all get together once a week to remember Rachel and hang out at the mall. Happilly ever after stuff. That is what I want to see!
BTW, I am a lifetime Animorph fan. Read em all one by one as they came out. From 4th grade through the summer before 10th. Or something like that. And I absolutely Loved em. I cried and cried and cried when it was all over. I felt empty. I couldn't believe the ending. I wanted so badly for more books. I wished I could be a part of them.
-
Wow, you've got that all planned out, huh?
-
You've forgotten Tobias.
Not so happy, now, eh?
-
O yeah Tobias! Lol how did I forget him? Duh....ok well he gets over the loss of Rachel and meets a female Andalite who likes to morph to a human form. This form is similar in looks to Rachel, and the two have a great connection with each other. They begin to fall in love and the Andalite finds a red-tailed hawk morph of a female. So she gets trapped in it for him and they live together happily ever after. Better?
-
Wouldn't it be better for him to go permanent Andalite, or both to go permanent Human? Hawks don't live very long at ALL.
-
Well that depends. What are the rules? He has lived 6 years in hawk form. Does it then go by human years? I can't remember. Either way, yea if they could both go human or andalite I would think that would work, but I just like the idea of being a hawk. Hehe.
-
Hawks live between 7 and 35 years, depending on their environments and their ability to catch food.
A six-year-old hawk is already an adult, and a twelve-year-old hawk is OLD. 35 is a rarity, reserved for captive birds.
-
I always really wanted to know what happened to the Animorphs' parents, even just a quick paragraph. They just disappear after the end of the war, apparently. And for that matter, a bit more about what happened to the Yeerks. At least Aftran, come on, did anyone go and visit her or was she stuck talking to whales the rest of her life? I'm sure whales are fascinating conversationalists but to someone who went through a war and, I dunno, knows mathematics....booo ooo-ring ;D
-
I think one of the simplest things would be Cassie digging up the Time Matrix, and going back in time to a certain point and changing things. Like maybe keep Eric from draining the pool ship's weapons.
-
Why not go back in time, make a wax dummy of Rachel, replace it with REAL Rachel, and save her? Mme. Tussaud could SO pull that off!
-
uh...I don't know why, but it was mentioned in #11 that there can't be two of the same person at the same time. if there are, they'd eliminate each other. in #11, the sario rip kept that in check, and in #32...I guess they were killing each other. I don't know about #32...

In #32 they morphed each other. It wasn't explained in-depth.
-
I'm talking about how there were two rachels at the same time. not about how they joined together.
-
There were two Rachel's at the same time because the starfish was split in half and then regenerated itself so that there were two starfish that were both Rachel. They both demorphed and BOOM! Two Rachel's.
-
*slaps forehead. sighs.* this is gonna be a long day.
it was mentioned in #11 that there can't be two of the same person at the same time. if there are, they'd eliminate each other.
I'm saying how can there be two raches at the same time if they aren't in a sario rip? I know perfectly well what happened in the book. I'm saying how can they exist if two of the same person at the same time eliminate each other.

They're basically twins. Vey much alike, but not exactly. They have different minds for one thing.
Nonetheless, it is a strange book.
-
I don't understand why people hate #32. It was kind of a drag to read as a kid, but now it's probably one of my favorites.

The Sario Rip two-in-one-place problem ISN'T about PHYSICAL MATTER, although it WOULD break the laws of conservation of matter...anyway, it is about CONSCIOUSNESS. The brain is forced to operate simultaneously in two places at once, and the brain CANNOT handle that. It eventually eliminates whatever is obstructing its own function, generally the other half of itself.
Rachel's consciousness was not one-in-two-places, it was one-cut-in-half-to-make-two-separates. Neither half was forced to work alongside the other, so both could exist. All the extra matter to make the second body probably came from one of her other morphs, floating out in Z-space, so it didn't break any laws of physics.
Plausible enough, in the universe of Animorphs.

wait just the other half? in the book, ax said both beings would be eliminated...

1. He didn't pay enough attention in class.
2. That only applies if one fails to die and resolve the event.

Good point Estelore.
