What happened after Animorphs?
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:45:27 AM »
What happened after Animorphs? I mean if you look at the books K.A wrote after Animorphs , they still aren't as popular as Animorphs. Maybe it's the language in Everworld or maybe Remnants seems a bit unrealistic. Or maybe animorphs was more personal. Or maybe people were angry at the ending of animorphs. Or people are just not attracted to them? Or was it because animorphs being so long in existence caught your attention? Maybe the other books don't suit you like animorphs did? Or maybe animorphs has this magic of drawing people to itself?

I was angry about how Animorphs ended and nothing else caught my appeal.

It's like how JK Rowling won't ever be able to write anything non-Harry Potter. It won't ever be as good as HP.

There are some people like me that hated the Ani ending so much that they are afraid to get into another series. Afraid to become attached to characters, then see them all get killed or meet bad ends.

Though Everworld just didn't hold my attention as much as Animorphs. I'm not sure why.

It reminds me of James Patterson. I liked his books, but I stopped reading them because he likes to kill someone off for no particular reason, other than maybe avoid a totally happy ending.

my question is more to do with the sociological affects of aliens....
What effect would morphing technology have on the transgender?
how could yeerks help our mental health services?
how would trekkies react?
or science fiction authors generally.

Unless they were part of the Peace Movement, I don't see why Yeerks would want to help our mental health services.

They would probably all have nervous breakdowns.

Yeerks would probably be able to help mental health services a lot (if they chose to out of being grateful for not being killed) they would have huge insight into how the human mind works, know whether memories are repressed or fake, if someone is lying to their psychiatrist? Possibly even control the brain chemistry in order to help the mentally ill.
another thing (i think Dorus the Walrus invented it) would be to control peadophiles and other recidivist criminals.

Those are pretty damn good ideas. Especially the last one.

Another one: send yeerks nothlited into humans to countries like afghanistan or Sierra Leone to help stimulate the economy and educate people.

They did: basically all the yeerks were turned into nothlits in book 54.
The peadophile and mental health help thing was just a way to deal with non-nothlit yeerks.
Also transgender community could really benefit: One of the saddest things (I think) is that while a man may have an operation to give him a hole and breasts. s/he will never have an orgasm and more importantly the thing that makes a woman a woman (rather than just a  fake idea of women as pretty creatures that have long hair and a dress)  is her ability to bear children/create new life. That is all. A transgender man would be able to acquire his sisters, mother, cousins, father etc and then morph a female version of himself thus rendering him truly female. Likewise the thing that makes a man a man is not his logical mind and trousers but well his ability to father (though this is not as spectacular as a woman's ability to create life IMHO) but to me the most appealing thing about men (and the only reason I would want to be a man) is a man's unobtainable physical strength,which in all honesty, no amount of martial arts training in a woman will ever equal... So a woman turning morphing a man to become a nothlit would gain the truly important things about malehood: physical strength and fathering ability...

i agree, that would be very beneficial for people.

what was the process of acquiring multiple things at once (ax, book 4)? i forgot the name.
