you know marco is the only real person who doesn't have a lot of filler books. tobias and ax don't have a lot either, but they already have less books than the others.

#19 is definitely my favorite out of the list (and my favorite Animorphs, period), though personally I consider it pretty important to the plot.

My favorite out of the ones I consider filler is #14.  It's a really fun book.

book 3 doesnt look as a filler as well to me... The damage to the Yeerks was trivial and unnecessary, but  this book views Tobias a little differently than the other books...

Anyway, now that morfowt mentions that fact... somehow, K.A must have liked Marco very much...
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

I wouldn't count 35 as filler because it goes straight into Visser. And either way, that's still only 3 filler books out of 10 books narrated by marco.

"I hated him starting from when he put cassie as his least favorite, even below the auxilaries. Ok, so that's not really fair, since everyone can have their own opinion, but I still didn't like him. After that, I really don't like him."

I never even ranbked the auxilaries. You have me confused with someelse who has Cassie as their least fave.

Also, you can't dislike a person for having a different opinion.

Alright! The Departure wasn't filler! If I edit it out will all of you stop whining so much?

I would never count a book as filler because I don't like the narrator by the way.

Be careful, lad, how you use the word 'can't'. We CAN and WILL do whatever the Hell we want, but we generally prefer to do it in a socially acceptable manner.

If it were my openly stated opinion that the Holocaust was a great big birthday party, and I wished that I had been in Auschwitz to enjoy the action, WOULDN'T YOU DISLIKE ME?!

Of course, that ISN'T my opinion, but you need to remember that we WILL take you literally, virtually all the time.

Also, please do not double-post. You can just modify (EDIT) the post you made earlier. It's that simple, really. TRIPLE-POSTING IS DOWNRIGHT RUDE.


'Those other threads'...WHICH other threads?

If you REALLY don't know what you've done that bugs us so bad, tell me (in a PM) which threads have been your 'problem spots'. I'll be happy to tell you what's got your fellow RAFians in a tiff, and I'll not get mad at you (unless, of course, you've been utterly abominable, which I doubt).
This thread is NOT the place to sort out your social issues.
Thanks. :)

I like #32, which doesn't really do much for plot-movement, but it's still terribly intense.

You know what I meant. You CAN dislike a person for having a differing opinion but that's intolerant on your part and also silly when it's something as harmless and trivial as differing opinions on a fictional book character.

Everybody is so wound tight and nit-picky here. I don't know all the rules to posting here. I'm NEW here. Gimme a break.

Fine. Send me a private message. I need a good laugh.

I shall. What you NEED, however, is another subject entirely.

Next time, say 'please'.

Do you honestly believe that anyone bothers reading through that entire thing?

Also, I was referring to making quotes and other such posting abilities which I'm not aware of.

'Help'. Then 'Posting'.


Easy.


Yes, we DO fully expect you to 'bother' reading through that entire thing. In your own courts, ignorance of the law is not sufficient exemption from the law.

Also, do you REALLY, HONESTLY, SINCERELY want to tick HIM off?

I'm not saying I expect to be exempted from anything. I'm just saying that it's naive to think that people bothered reading all that.

And again, this is irrelevant because I was referring to posting icons and their abilities.

No. I seriously do not want to tick the RAF gods again. Not by a long shot but that wasn't my intention at all in my reply. Quit finding offense where none exists.
