What edits have you caught so far?

• The thought-speak thing was fixed, obviously.
• Marco says 'This is perilous stuff' instead of 'This is radical stuff' around page 72-73.


Should we put a list together of things we find? I'm not really searching word by word, just the 'perilous' struck me as a bit OOC for early-on Marco.

The bit about Jake thought-speaking to Tobias while in human form was changed to Jake not being able to thought-speak as a human. Yay for improved continuity. (Though while they were at it, I wish they would have changed Elfangor transmitting images through thought-speak, because that didn't happen again.)

Didn't catch the bit about "perilous stuff." I'm not sure why it would be necessary to change that. I think Marco is smart enough to know what the word "perilous" means, but probably wouldn't use it conversationally.

Oh yeah, I wasn't saying he wasn't smart enough to know the word, but like I said, kinda OOC for him. (Not that 'radical' was any better for a 90s kid, IMO, but I never fit in that much with anyone.)

I think someone said they changed the wording of some console stuff, too, but I don't know what else I've seen yet.

'This is perilous stuff' just kinda cracks me up. It feels so blatantly WOTD the way it is.

It also occurs to me that the Animorphs might just have never thought to send thought-speak images because they were never in a situation that required it. Elfangor himself mainly did it because he didn't have time for words.

I brought it up in fan-fiction again, but it was something that took a lot of training.

What bugged me was all the way in book #40 Mertil and Gafinilan could sense each other through thought-speak as long as they were on the same planet, but the Animorphs as far as we know never lengthened the distance through which they could communicate. Then again, we could blame that on them being human and not prone to using thought-speak most of the day.

Radical to Perilous? That sounds...kind of....a stretch?

[iosonochesono]

I swear it's true, I have both book #1s. That's why I looked it up. I read it and was like, 'perilous? really?'

[yukinoomoni]

That's really silly.

Also, I think a list would be kind of neat. It would be interesting to compare.
