I don't think that Rachel would've done drugs. I read that one fanfic ages ago and thought it was OOC and dumb.

People forget that Rachel had two sides to her character until the series was ghostwritten.  ::)

Seriously, she's hot, super-smart AND a top student (because sometimes they don't go hand in hand), fashionable, and confident. She doesn't need to do drugs, she's not weak.

I'm not about to contradict the "live drug-free" bandwagon, but idk blanket statements like that just seem a little...too exclusive, you know what I mean? Not all drugs destroy lives, and not all drugs leave you a lesser person than you started, either.
I go off topic on purpose.

You can laugh or you can cry. Personally? I do both. At the same time.
Animorphs: The first 10 were light, funny, still innocent. But slowly, it got darker, more moral, passionate and mature. And then it was messy, bloody. It was chaos. It was the end.

I think Queenofsheba/Farrell's girl from another forum speculated that Cassie was a lesbian.

no because that reminds me of a film that has a character who is *instert gender/sterotype/race* and the film only brings that up to say how it is *instert gender/sterotype/race* and nothing else.

much like how they had the Fat Spartan in Meet the Spartans...god that movie sucked..

I don't see how someone could think either of the girls were lesbian. Cassie obviously liked Jake. You don't have to dress girly and wear makeup to be straight. So I don't understand where that could come from

It's fanfiction.

Where do you think Snape/Harry comes from? Or Draco/Grawp?

I always roll my eyes whenever someone says "the author should leave it to the fans!" or "that would open up so many doors for fanfiction!" because something like 85% of fanfiction is garbage.

Yeah, like how she left the resolution of the cliffhanger up to the fans. And to my knowledge, most fanfic writers have Ax be alive.

Er...I always felt they were older then they really were too. They seemed too mature for their age. Personally, I always thought they were in high school. But yeah, if the series had an older audience I could see that. Actually, I never realized how dark the series could be until I reread the books when I was older.  :o

I remember I read this one fic on ff.net called Filler. It really summed up the whole age thing: "We’re supposed to be middle-school kids, but that gets kind of skewed sometimes.”

her theory was that she liked Jake because he was sort of the closest thing that Rachel had to a brother... Queen ofsheba didn't say she was a raging lesbian, but that it was a posibility for her character.

they seemed older at the beginning and then they got younger, like in book 1 jake says 'if we told people they would think we were on drugs' but drugs are never brought up again.

Oh it exists.

I checked using the FFN character filters one time thinking it wouldn't be there and it was.

I  Should also like to say that the active members of sinister"s forum were largely female were all  for Rachel dying as they thought she wouldn't have been able to cope after the war and might've done drugs or whatever (Being so addicted to violence etc)... which is basically KA Applegates opinion as well since only sweet pacifist left wing Cassie was allowed to survive happily after the end... I think this is lame, if soldiers throughout history who enjoyed killing (apparently this is like 5 % of all men or something-similar to Korean Pearl's concept of type three Nadar) are capable of thriving after wars (my great grandfather was thought to be like this and he was a very happy successful man after WW1 and only drank to escape his wife's god awful food) then why should rachel be punished for her strength and bravery by dying because it is assumed that if you delight in the death of your enemies you must be unable to cope with peacetime life. in fact it should be the opposite, the 5% of soldiers who take righteous pleasure in the death of the enemy should thrive more successfully then their conscience ridden colleagues.
