Rumor has it, that an Animorphs 2.0 might be in the works...with Scholastic!

Alternate universe? It's a possibility.

[Darth Revan]

She already did that with MM4.

Besides, if she made it seem like either this new series or the preivous series was just a "possibility" it would cheapen the whole series.

Besides, if she made it seem like either this new series or the previous series was just a "possibility" it would cheapen the whole series.

Exactly... It would have to have actually happened at the same time...

Although, how would they get the morphing power? The only blue box was with Elfangor, and the Animorphs recovered it.

The Dome Ship is gonzo, so it can't be in there.

That's why there'd have to be another Andalite encounter, and another breaking of the law of Seerow's Kindness... Sure, it's unlikely to have happened, but isn't the truth sometimes more amazing than fiction?

Also, I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but wouldn't it be really awesome if the writers of the new series interweaved events to subtly coordinate with the original series? Nothing so overt that the two groups would suspect each others' existence, but still things that fans like us would catch and point and laugh our heads off in awesomeness... *sigh*

To avoid that cheapening of alternative universe whilst still avoid the pointlessness of 'meanwhile in the elsewhere another group of humans given the power to morph fought on"  wouldn't it just be better to continue on where the old series left off.

It is reading the last book so far of Song of Ice and Fire, where in the next book is set at the same time as the present book, but set elsewhere, feels almost pointless.

[Darth Revan]

Yeah, it'd either have to be a rewrite or a continuation. Those are the only choices that wouldn't make the series gay.


And if there's any other writer besides K.A, I'm not reading it.

[Chad32]

If I enjoyed the series, I wouldn't mind another writer besides KA. But as a special condition, the writer must keep in touch with the fanbase to ensure things go well. Hopefully that writer won't run into an unpleasable fanbase.

[VisserZer0]

wouldn't it just be better to continue on where the old series left off.

Yes! Exactly! I wouldn't mind a rewrite but I want to know what happened after that crap-pile of an ending that took the form of book 54.

I don't see why people are so worried about the possibility of another author. There are some pretty good fanfics that do a very good job of writing K.A.-style.

[goom]

how about a re-write of book #54 and continue from there?

[adeon222]

You'd have to rewrite 53, too, prolly...

[Chad32]

I wouldn't mind rewriting 53 and 54 and having the Anis and Toby's group to try to liberate the Hork Bajir Homeworld. I thought they would do that ever sonce book 13, and my suspicions became stronger after the book where they actually go there. I forget which one is is. 39? One of those 9 books I think.

[anijen21]

34, the worst book in the entire series imho

[adeon222]

That's actually a really cool idea... Hmmm...

[Chad32]

It was one of the weirder ones, and I guess since they never mentioned anything afterwards then the plot relevance went down the tubes. It just wound up bringing up yet another ending question: Why did Toby stay on Earth when she knew there was a resistance force on the Homeworld?

[Darth Revan]

To continue saving the captured on Earth. Technically, Earth was her home, not the H-B homeworld. It would be like Blue going to Africa to join a guerilla faction there.

Yeah, maybe this is going to be like a flash forward to a year or so after 54 and the Human race has gone spacial!
