------------------------- ANIMORPHS ~ weekly ~ NEWSLETTER ------------------------- ISSUE #126 WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26, 2000 <HI EVERYONE!> Nothlit here again. I apologize that all of the copies of issue #125 didn't get out in a very speedy manner. It took me a while to get used to the new Hotmail interface, plus they seem to have put in place a rule that only lets you send so many messages each day before they cut you off, so I had to spread things out over about three days. I also cleaned out a whole bunch of addresses that came back undeliverable, so that's why the subscriber count up there is down so much from last week. Enough with the dilly-dallying! It's been a pretty dead week news-wise, but on with AWN... &&&&&&&&& AWN FORUM &&&&&&&&& Last week's forum question was: If the series DOES end with #54, what will you do with all your spare time? Any other series? "Depends on the quality, subject matter, etc. That's all I have to say." - Sabrina "What will I do in my spare time? Well, I'd do everything that I'm doing now: swimming, track, school work, girl friend. I mean, Animorphs hasn't overtaken my life, like some people. It's just been a good series to read every month, and when it ends, I'll have more money to spend every month!" - Andrew "Spare time? SPARE TIME??? What is that? Me have something called 'spare time'? Don't make up lies about people. Its not polite. As for other series, on my scale of 1 (worst)-10(best), i read HArry Potter (10), Replica(9), Fearless(100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000), (THOSE ARE THE BOMB!! On the same level as animorphs (100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)!), Seventh Tower (8), Everworld (9 1/2), and another i can't think of..." - reana "If the series ends with book #54, I'll spend my time re-reading all of them and memorizing them even further. And I'll read Everworld (for as long as that series continues), and all my favourite fantasy-series. Plus, I'll be writing my own fan fics..." - Blue Dragon This week's forum question is: What should happen at the end of the series? (Sorry if this has already been asked...I can't remember.)

Thanks! ====== NEWS ====== -- MORPHZ TO RELEASE MAJOR DEC. 1 UPDATE As an update to last week's headline about this, I thought I'd let you know that the countdown is on! Jeff had this to say at his message board: "...only 5 days until we put up our big Reveal All post! It'll be worth the wait, no matter whether or not you find it to be good or bad news. LOTS of tidbits about quite a few things. You'll be surprised by some things, totally shocked by others, maybe expectant of a few. The day is almost here. FINALLY. I tell ya, if I have to deal with one more week of 'Is Animorphs ending?' my head will implode." -- COOL ANIMORPHS FAN ART I told you last week about Helen, who sent along 5 pictures she drew of the Animorphs. I realized only today that I never got around to posting them up, but I've done so now! I think they're pretty darn good, and maybe you will too. You can feast your eyes at: http://www.crosswinds.net/~nothlit +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ON THE BOOK CHARTS +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Sorry I left this section blank last week (and again this week), but I can't remember where Guillermo gets his sales reports. I promise it will be back next week! <><><><><><><><><><><><> WEB PAGE OF THE WEEK <><><><><><><><><><><><> I'm fresh out of new web pages to review this week! If you have or know of a really great web page out there, preferable Animorphs, please send me the URL and I'll try to get it in next week! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLOSING REMARKS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This week's issue was rather short. There's not a whole lot of news in the Animorphs community. Hopefully next week we'll have something to chatter about when MZ releases its mysterious post. ;-) Please feel free to write with any comments or editorials you may have! They help make AWN a real community newsletter, as do the poll and forum responses! Please send them in! Until next week, Nothlit <QUOTE OF THE WEEK> "I didn't realize I was in a Buddhist temple." - Al Gore, when questioned about his illegal fundraising activies that took place in a Buddhist temple ****************************************************************** Get all the latest news, polls, and forums at the Animorphs Weekly Newsletter's Official site!
