The ghost-written Animorphs books SUCK.
Okay, not all of them, but #36 does, badly. Everyone's OOC, and the ghostwriter doesn't seem to have gotten the message that "technobabble should probably lean towards the hard side of scifi, not the soft-like-an-overripe-banana" and "WAR IS BAD is a good message, but not the way YOU'RE writing it" and "jesus christ, evil Atlantian mutants who're going to rise up and take over the surface? TRANS-FREAKING-FORMERS DID THAT FIRST, AND YOU'RE ABOUT AS ANVILICIOUS."
So, yeah. Here's to hoping the next few suck less.
Also:
Third-Person Sample:
Replace this block of text with a sample post for your character in third person, past tense. We aren’t asking you to use a preset situation; just write him or her doing something that will give us a better idea of how you interpret him or her and a better understanding of how you approach writing in general. Your sample should be 500 words or more, should be from your character's point of view, and should be from a point in time in the character's life consistent with the characterization you'd be using while playing them in the RP. (Reusing a sample from a previous app to another community is a-okay so long as it meets the above criteria and represents your current writing style.)
Pitch ideas for Tobias at me plz.
