The only way it's been written out is actually in the SB. However, I have played around with formatting it as a novel (because I find that stuff fun ) and I've played around with it in screenplay format as well.

Hey guys! I think we should go ahead with Fantasy's idea since she posted it a week ago and no one has said that they thought we should go a different direction. In which case...
In Michael's post, Jackson never said where he took his mom. So he either needs to call/leave a note for Michael telling him where, or the Animorphers have to try and find her.
Also, the last thing that happened in Michael's post was him going to Charlotte's house to make sure she was okay. Whether she's safe and sound or has been taken is totally up to Wolfie. If she was taken, she could technically find a way to tell/call Michael and tell him where they are.
Any of the other Animorphers could have been taken as well, which is totally up to you guys to decide for your characters. And technically, if we still wanted Gwen to morph, this could be a cool opportunity for that.
Were you planning to post next @Wolfical? Or should we move on to the next round?

I wasn't planning to, no. The golf season ends in two weeks, and I promise that once that happens I'll have a lot more time.
I think having a main character kidnapped by Jackson would be fun and more intense. It doesn't have to be Charlotte because Michael already has a motivation to rescue his mom; maybe it could be, fr example, Layla, and Jinx would feel compelled to go to the rescue because they're adorable together.

Yes, a main character getting kidnapped sounds amazing, but keep in mind Cole and Riley would also get snagged only a short while after. It may seem a bit redundant if the readers had seen this all play out before. That being said, who's going to be posting next?
Fantasy does pose a good point with too many kidnaps being repetitive, but I think if only one character is taken and we don't make a big deal out of it, then we could do both. I'm happy to have Layla be captured like Wolfie said.
I'm guessing this plot line will take two-three posts to play out, so if I posted for Layla being captured and somehow telling the others where they were, who else would like to post?

Thanks for the feedback on the newsletter idea! Almost everyone responded to the poll, so I will probably send the first one out sometime next week. If you guys have any ideas for it that I didn't mention in my page 83 post, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Next week?! Ahhh, that's really exciting! If you ever need help with it or something, just let me know.
I'd love to post after you, Lefty. I'd imagine by the time it's my turn, I'll have plenty of time to do so.

Posted! @Wolfical, let me know if you want me to change/add anything for what you were planning to do with your post.

I'm going to start focusing on the newsletter here soon. Does anyone have any ideas for it other than what I mentioned in my post? Let me know if you do. Thanks!

Thanks @Wolfical! I'm looking forward to your post!
@HazelGrace16, Emma is an Animorpher, so she would be part of his plan, too. Jackson was probably told to keep the Animorphers alive (or he would have just killed Layla), so by having a non-animorpher that's closely connected to them, he has more leverage with manipulating them, given that he could technically kill her, or at least threaten to do so.
I thought that Jackson was Emma's brother, because he showed up at the bomb site when they found the tapes and he was said to be Michael's friend, and since Michael's friend was Emma's brother, I think Jackson sort of ended up as her brother by association. >> Animorphers DT
But, if I'm wrong on that, I can definitely go back and fix it. Just let me know.

At the beginning, there was Emma's brother, Ashton and Michael's friend, Jackson, and somewhere along the line they got merged somehow I think.
We can probably go back and change his name back. I believe it got switched when he showed up at the bomb site.

I do like the idea about Michael's mom finding out about the Animorphers, though. I have some ideas on what could happen but all of them feel a bit mediocre; oh well. Anyway! When Michael's mom finds out about the Animorphers, she doesn't quite believe it (because it is the heat of the moment of things and her brain is going to all sort of resort to find why she was kidnapped also because she just wants her son back).
I kinda forgot about the whole Jackson being Emma's brother because I kept thinking he was just Michael's friend. But, if we incorporated the kidnapping of their mother (or maybe the Animorphers could do something with their mother, to get back Michael's mother), then I would think could set a stage for an all out battle between Jackson (who could be a secret Animorpher *wink wink*) and the Animorphers themselves.
