Description
"Marco"He covers his despair with laughter.
So much loss has made him tough.
He will do what he must do,
But he will try to shrug it off.
His mother is his nemesis,
He wants to save her more than anything,
He will lose everything to get her back.
"Rachel"
Some may call her crazy.
Her hair is blonde and beautiful.
Her eyes are blue and fierce.
She will do the dirty work,
She will downward spiral,
She will die to make a difference.
He will cry, his only goodbye.
"Aximilli"
Blue fur spreads down his back,
Seven fingers instead of five,
A tail like lightning and just as deadly.
Andalite arrogance,
With human friends.
He loves us as his brother did,
Even if he doesn't understand us.
"Tobias"
Brown wings stretched out,
Tan belly exposed,
Tail feathers rusty red.
Riding on thermals,
Making an escape.
Trapped forever within this form,
More free than he's ever been.
"Jake"
He makes some hard desicions.
His choices could kill his friends.
His eyes are darker than they used to be.
His face is lined past his age.
The weight of the world is on his shoulders.
One day his decision will destroy his friend, his cousin.
He is prepared to destroy his brother.
"Cassie"
Tree hugger to the extreme.
She loves her prince,
But she will one day lose him.
She is morally guided,
And so she is lost.
She doesn't know what to do,
She can't stand to take another life.

Thanks for reading.

Guess that answers that! Animorps is a book series by K.A. Applegate. It pretty much defined my ENTIRE childhood. At least the parts that Disney hadn't already sunk its claws into.

An alien invasion by a parasitic species called Yeerks. And Earth's only defense? Five kids and one alien with the ability to morph into any animal they touch.
That's the short version. Obviously. The series spanned like 60 books. (They were all pretty short books.) It's a really great story and the characters are still completely legit today. They're actually going to be releasing the series soon with updated references and all the little KASUs (Katherine Applegate Screw Ups) fixed.

I like Vampires, Werewolves, and Shapeshifter stories. But I don't go nutso over them. It has to actually be good to impress me. Really, it's the writing that I like. Not the fact that the characters are vamps or whatever.
On a side note, the main character of my book is shapeshifting dragon. But hey, I grew up reading Animorphs. That's my excuse.

I can only really appreciate it if they are either really, really creative to the point that it's an entirely new thing, or if they stick to the classics. I personally love Dracula.
Sparkly vampires and werewolves that are actually spirit warriors is kinda pathetic.

Yeah... That may not be so bad. Hmm, I never saw Dracula. Perhaps I should. and yeah, creativity might not be so bad.
I'm not even sure what 'sparkly' means. But I don't like this new wave, women falling in love with the fantasy of vampires and werewolves... yuck.

Sparkly is a reference to Twilight vampires.
And as for Dracula, you should watch the original with Bela Lugosi. I've not seen the 80s version, but I can't tell that they're only worried about gore. The Bela Lugosi version has really great actors and actually sticks to the story pretty well. (I've also read the book. I love classic books.)

Classics huh? I'm a sci-fi-er. I try fantasy a little more now that I've run through so much sci-fi. lol Yeah, I guess I should try some version of it or other. hehe! Hey, do you have a Facebook or something? Yahoo Messenger, MSN?

I do indeed. I shall note you.
I read all sorts of books. Fantasy, classics, mystery, romance (not harlequin mind you), historical fiction. I don't read horror, and I haven't read much sci-fi. Mostly because I've been too busy reading other things.

ItisjustI In reply to Solaris-Ember [2010-10-11 08:31:53 +0000 UTC]
Mm, I love romance in a book, but it has to contain plenty of something else to make it work for me. I've never tried harlequin and I'm not sure what they're really about. checking wikipedia... Um, nothing conclusive... Urban dictionary... no, google first. Huh... nothing conclusive. What, exactly, is harlequin romance?
I've read the occasional detective fiction. Horror, like romance, doesn't do much for me by itself. it has to have fascinating thoughts in it; some science, or paranormal stuff. Dean Koontz is good; despite his regular returns to voodoo, his novels contain a lot of thought-provoking concepts that make them more than merely horror. Stephen King is, sadly, just that; a bland horror writer that doesn't spice it up with anything strange or interesting.
Hmm, I like some military sci-fi novels where, for some reason, you have modern or even futuristic characters fighting battles against vast hordes with primitive technology. For example, in the 1632 series, you have Grantville, West VA transplanted into Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War... with plenty of guns and coal mining trucks (which are essentially indestructible by 17th century technology and wind up making good APC/tanks.)

I've never read a Harlequin Romance. And I refuse to ever touch one with a ten-foot pole. Basically, they are sex, sex, and more sex smashed into a diatribe about really cliche romance. (The princess and the stable boy, the millionaire and the pool boy, etc.) The romance books I read usually have something else going on.
After seeing 'It' as a kid, and part of 'Cujo', I refuse to ever read a Stephen King book. I was terrified by 'It' and bored to death by 'Cujo.'
That 1632 series sounds unique.

Heh. I'm not a prude, though I used to be. It wouldn't bug me if you did read harlequin. lol!
It would, however, bug me if you gushed about it and were disappointed in me when I didn't behave like a character in such. hehe
I read the one about the special graveyard that brings stuff back to life... Pet Semetery. It was utterly uninteresting. Parts of it were somewhat creepy, but that was all it had going for it; no real plot other than 'idiot doesn't learn his lesson the first time and keeps burying bodies in the graveyard that turns them evil'. I'll never endorse wasting one's time on Stephen King. Even though my mom went to college with him. lol
Yeah, 1632 is pretty good! Very patriotic though, not sure how much you'd like that. It *does* start out with a slice of West VA, after all. hehe! I think it was written by Eric Flint and David Weber. Very militarist, right-wing. I'm very... confused about my own stance on all things military right now. I'm ambiguous about it, repulsed by it, drawn to it, all at the same time. (sigh) Natural conservative with a liberal-ish upbringing and mixed messages combined with a philosophical bent. Go figure.

It's the lack of plot that bugs me about those books. I actually recently read a book that had LOTS of explicitly described sex-scenes. But it also had a plot. (A very interesting plot set in England during both the plague, and the 100 year war.) And the sex-scenes weren't gross either. So...it was actually a good book.
I love my country, just not always the people running it. And I have had a lot of family members in the military. I doubt I'd survive boot camp, otherwise I'd consider joining.

Yeah, I think I could believe in something like the system that started what we have now, if I didn't know it would lead to exactly what we have now. We need to try something new. Unfortunately when people, such as me, think 'new', they usually mean some oddball idiot combination of socialism and capitalism, one of which works but is based on the elevation of the most unscrupulous, and one of which does not work and is based on lipservice hiding the elevation of the most unscrupulous, and they just add another layer of corruption to the same old story.
I think we need something completely wild, freaky and weird! Sadly, I too can only think of ways to try to combine capitalism and socialism. Let's hope some wise, intolerant aliens show up to tell us what's what and shoot anyone who won't listen. Then we can have a nice big war to blow their butts back to Betelgeuse, and figure out afterwards that they were right all along, while convincing ourselves that we're heroes for killing them all.
I am considering joining the army. Probably not the Marines. I think I might survive army boot camp, but in the Marines I'd just wash. Also maybe Navy I could handle, though I'd never make a SEAL. lol

Or maybe, we'll discover warp drive, meet aliens, and realize that we're all idiots for not getting along. (Kirsten, your Trekkiness is showing.) If only our problems could be fixed as easily as they were in Star Trek. Then life would be just peachy.
The Marines are pretty friggin' intense. In every way. Did you know that after two years in the Marine Corps, a person could be considered legally insane?

It's something my brother told me. I don't all of it, but I know part of it. Marines get so used to things going a certain way and being listened to by their subordinates, that every tiny little thing sends them into a manic rage. Also, they get used to a chain of command and structure. When such structure is compromised, they can't deal. I'm pretty sure there's more to it.
It stems at least partially from the way they're broken down to worthless nothings in boot camp and then built back up to believe that they're completely indestructible and always right.
