Fanfiction Comments and Feedback

I promise you...another Animorphs Enter the Beast Wars part is forthcoming. I've gotten most of it written. I just need the time to finish it.

I'll try to make up for all the long pauses between previous parts over Christmas break next week. I'll have nothing school related to worry about for 3 weeks. That will be nice.

Glad to see you're starting this again. And interesting how you skipped to book 4.

One thing, I thought wolves had great night vision. or at the very least, better than human vision...

Yahoo! Now I can look forward to this again. Always loved this series, and I can't wait for it to continue.

Thanks, but I;d appreciate it if you could post in this thread in future, or just PM me any comments you have. My original story thread got clogged up with comments so I want to make sure the chapters are easy to find for new readers. Thank you.

I took a break from the series for Nano Wrimo, but that's over now. And I skipped to book 4 because I don't see 2 or 3 as being very important to the story. I know there was the truck ship in book 3, but I couldn't think of any good ideas for it. Besides, like I'm ever going to finish the series if I write EVERY book? 

I have heard about wolves having good night vision, which surpised me since dogs are said to have very bad vision, so I assumed that wolves operated using smell and hearing rather than sight. I'll do some research into this and edit my post as appropriate when I have the chance.

Morfowt is correct on the wolf's night vision. They have a reflective retina, called a tapetum that enhances their night vision, even though they can't see colors. Their sight is mostly motion based. I'm actually researching on gray wolves myself at the moment, as it's a large part of the current story I'm working on...

[Phoenix004]

Yeah I've just been doing some research of my own. I actually wrote this chapter over a month ago and have heard from more than one person since that wolves apparently have good night vision. I got it wrong initially based on how dog sight is described in the Animorphs books, but looking at a few websites it seems that more recent-ish test have shown that dogs can see a number of colours and have decent night vision, particularly in terms of detecting movement.

So yeah, I was wrong and I'll edit my post as soon as I have the time. Thank you for pointing it out.

I have edited my first chapter slightly due to my mistake with the wolf eyesight thing, and I've now added the first chapter of my new fic to fanfiction.net. Also, I will be adding the second chapter shortly.

i just started reading it mike, its awesome, i read all of it in one go, cant wait for the next chapter

[Phoenix004]

Thanks Shanker, glad you like it.

[morfowt]

Just read it, and loved it, especially the ending.

I think you made a mistake though:

“So you think it’s just a coincidence that Cassie and Tobias just happened to have identical dreams at the exact same time?” I asked, interrupting him before he could start his rant about a variety of weird dreams he’d been having.

“Well since you know everything and you clearly think there’s something to this, I’m guessing there is something going on and the end will result will be the six of us screaming and running for our lives?” Mike asked.

“You know I can’t tell you.” I said with a knowing smile.

aren't you supposed to be Mike, or is there another Mike?

he obviously meant marco, its a typo

[Phoenix004]

Yeah it was just a typo, my bad. Thanks for telling me.

[morfowt]

is there a difference between mistake and typo?

[Qwerty the Charliecorn]

Yay, you started the second one.  Nice job, Mike. You did good with the introduction and quick summary at the beginning, and I really liked Mike's plan to scare away the fox. Off to read the next chapter. 

[Phoenix004]

Thanks Charlie! You made good timing as I literally just posted a new chapter!

[Drkchaos]

Been following your story for a time now, Phoenix... Great chapter!

You're doing a great job in weaving in your character into the original plot.

Typo just falls under the category of "mistake's" definition. It's defined as more of a mechanical error in the printing, rather than a human made error in the writing
