Animorphs #67: The Loss (What the f*** this is all about.)

[das1234]

i guess when you put weapons on the garatron tails they will melt from the acid blood (ALIEN, anyone?)

[capnnerefir]

Weapons on the tails is a good idea, but that's really not what the Animorphs are focused on (at least, not right now). The way things stand, they don't have tie time to sit down and work it out. The real Garatrons probably have some sort of weaponry; if they stumble across those, I'll be sure tho throw them in.

Aside from that, thanks.

All this time, I've wondered what you're writing is missing - and at last, I've got it! Strange anecdotes, unusual comparisons - that's what Marco especially is famous for, but really, all of the Animorphs do it. Otherwise, the short sentences seem plain and actually become tiring after a while. Let me be clear, I LOVE this story. It's fantastic. But it's not Animorphs - because you don't spice up your sentences. Try it! You're already 95% of the way there. But the last 5% is crucial. Once again, this reeks of brilliance. It's freaking awesome, like Gandolf coming back from the dead awesome - but like Gandolf, you're story is missing just a bit of personality.

I know what you mean about the sentences not quite being flavorful enough. Much of that is intentional. This style is a lot different from my "professional" style. To put it simplistically, it's dumbed down, especially for certain characters. I give myself a lot more verbal freedom with some characters (mostly Tobias), but I hold back on some others (Marco, for example, is no writer, whatever else he may be). So when I do that, I probably pull back too much. It's a delicate balance and not one I've nearly perfected. I'm working on it, and after the hiatus (which hasn't started yet but I'm stuck at a certain point in 68 and don't have a lot of time to write right now), I think I'll have it down.
Thanks, Guest (although I'm pretty sure I know you by a different name).

uh... before I start reading this: are there a part 55-66 too? Or am I asking a very stupid question now.

[Luna May]

Yes, there are, and it's not stupid at all. Cap's series of fanfics can be found all over this board; I've found #55 for you riiiiight here. Hope you like it.
Other people have also written #55 fics- here are links to the fics written by BluJugganaut ans Snoopy. I haven't read Blu's story yet, but Snoopy's fic is awesome.
Enjoy! ;D

EDIT: I've found you Cyberhamon's #55 fic as well. Here you go.

[capnnerefir]

Yeah, my stuff can be hard to find, so I don't blame anyone who has difficulty navigating it. Just poke around on the fanfiction index at the top of this forum and you should be able to find it all easy enough. Although since the series is 14 books long (at the moment), maybe I should put them all together in one place on the index...

Acutally, I personally think Guraff is ten times more awsome then Chuck Norris...but then again I am not a big fan of Norris.

[capnnerefir]

Well, at least where I'm from, Chuck Norris is a running joke. *directs your attention to this thread.*
I'm glad you like Guraff; he's definitely become one of my favorites.

[fdragon010]

Yah, I see stuff like that in Barrens a lot (World of Warcraft), it's annyoing. Almost as bad as the Murloc Movie game...
