What do ya mean 'slashy'?


Gah! I can't wait for Scorpia Rising to come out!!!! Hurry up AH!!!!!

I GOT IT!!!!! YAY!!!! I'm gonna start reading it now!!

The beginning was awsome... that's what i got so far...

Everybody says about the Alex Rider series but I never read no one of them. What is the theme of the books?

that was so cool. I have a habit of forgetting whether I was reading a book or watching a movie cause my imagination is so vivid, but man...

lol I can't believe that he is actually going to be a spy in place of his dead uncle... this book is EPIC!!

Okay, E&A, I just read that post you made about "I just noticed how slashy that sounded" well, I guess I need new glasses because I THOUGHT you were saying that you've got the new book already and were saying "I can't believe it! AH put in a slashy moment between Yassen and Alex" and I'm like O_O *Eyes fall out of skull* WHAAAT?! How'd you get it already? And then WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! YASSY'S ALIVE?!!! HOW IS THERE A SLASHY MOMENT! WHAAAAAT?! lol ^;^ I sort of freaked XP I'd kill AH if Alex didn't end up with Sabina in the end (Although I'm mad at her. Really really mad at her. I've never forgiven her for what happened in Eagle Strike) XP

LOL

I forgot about this topic. I hang out in chat and Other too much these days...

Well, I am ticked that the official announcement about the Point Blanc movie is: da-da-da-dah!! IT'S BEEN CANCELLED AGAIN!!!!! Then again, what were we expecteing?

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Maybe slashy for real if Yassen was a creepo and a bit...uhhrrrr....weirder...than he is but NO! EW! *Gags* How old is Yassen? I DON'T THINK SO!!! But yesh, Sabina is sort of annoying. This is how I read her:

Sabina: *Love hearts in her eyes* Alex you HAVE to tell me your secret! I don't care, I think you're super hawt and fantastic, I'll like you anyways!

Alex: NO! You won't understand!

Sabina: Yes I WILL! Just tell me!

Alex: I'm a super fantastic spy!

Sabina: YOU'RE SUCH A FREAKO DE GUYO!! *proverbial slappy*

Alex: But I can SHOW YOU!

Breaking Benjamin: That I can see right through all your empty lies!

Alex: No no shut up! I'll show you that I really am a super fantastic spy!

Sabina: *Skeptic*

Alex: *Takes her to the bank, CLEARLY thinking that there's something there*

Everyone: *Pretends to be oblivious because they're trying to appease us fangirls by making him cry (EEEEEEEEEE!!)*

Alex: But...

Sabina: HUMPH! *Walks out, annoyed with him*

Alex: but...but....*Wails and laments*

Sabina: *Gets captured* caterpillar ALEX SAVE MEH!

See? XP She's SO annoying...

I want point blanc to come out!!! XD

I finished the first book... I'm so shocked, I HAVE to read the next one!!!

lol an all boys school... I wonder what's going to happen... (point Blank)

I am in total shock and dismay right now... *eye twitches at book...*

yes. yes I did... and i LOVED IT!!!

I don't know! I don't know! But I think its the real alex that lived. If he has another book, then it is definitely the real alex... right?

(lol ironing board = makeshift snowboard)

yeah, but he wouldn't be able to do what Alex can do because he has the same mind as the guy he was cloned from...

Awww, come on! I've just ordered the next book, and I don't want it to be some clone of his!

Has your book come in yet? I must warn you, Skeleton Key is probably the most twisted of them all, simply because of the mindset of the villain.

Guess what! Scorpia Rising is coming out on March 22nd!!

http://www.amazon.com/Scorpia-Rising-Al ... 058&sr=1-1

0.0 That's 3 days before my birthday!!!


So now I know what I'm asking for, lol!!!!

i finished Skeleton key and itfreaked me out about the under water cave. he was sooo lucky it was the shark and not him...

Lol, I don't think that quite covers it. And how many times does that make it that he should have died, but didn't?

Lol, when I got my gma into reading the AR books, she got really upset at the end of Scorpia cause she thought he died, then I reminded her there were more books.

Lol, I got lucky. When my gma bought me the complete set, Ark Angel was already out, so I just grabbed it up as soon as I put Scorpia down.

Wow... how many series do I have to read now??

I am on Eagle Strike right now... O.o is all I can say so far...

Lol, yeah she was a bit of a pinhead in Eagle Strike, but I'm still not sure why ya'll hate her so.

So guess what's not fun about sitting in front of a bright screen in a dark room while being entirely focused on what you're typing.

I can't believe her. She just like totally walks out on him. I have scorpia now! i'm gonna read it.

Oh, I hope Alex doesn't die...

really? how many more?

Right now there's 8, but there's a 9th one coming out. 3 days before my birthday, BOOYAH!!!

wow I want to read them all. I can't believe alex joined Scorpia!!!

Just give it a chapter or two.


Has anybody else noticed the subtitle on the 5th day of Christmas yet?

Mmmm... I couldn't believe that part myself. Then again I... No spoilers from me.

I know! The word 'shocking' somehow just doesn't cover it!

Lol, ok, this is only fun when the person we're baiting actually posts.

I can't wait until March!!!!

Lol, I'm fighting down the temptation to go buy a DS Lite. Must...save money... for... book!!!!

So was it ever confirmed for definite that he was going to write a book from Yassen's point of view?

Maybe he could put them all together!

That would be cool, but I don't see how it would work. Yassen and John Rider maybe, but idk how Ian would be able to fit in.

I know he was a spy. That's why I'm not sure how he would be able to fit in, unless he was undercover somewhere, but that would be really risky considering that Scorpia knew John's little brother worked for MI6. If Yassen had even spotted him once he would have killed him and John's cover might have been blown.

I'm sure they would've already known that. :/ John went undercover using his real name, so they would've already known practically as much about Ian as they did about John.

Oh my gosh, I got the Alex Rider book of Gadgets from my library! It's AWESOME! ^;^ Have you guys ever seen it? It's epic! ^;^

I think my high school library had it for a few weeks... Then I'm not sure what happened to it, they might have sent it to the middle school or elementary campus.

No, they knew Ian was MI6, it said it somewhere in Scorpia. Either the part where Alex is talking to that Scorpia chick (Mrs. Rathborne? ) or where he's talking to Mrs. Jones. I know somebody mentioned it.

They knew while he was working for them. *goes to find Scorpia*

.....5 minutes later.......

Pg. 144 (paperback): "....We knew, by the way, that he had a brother- Ian Rider- working for MI6."

Maybe john joined Scorpia before Ian joined MI6, and when he found out about his brother, he didn't want to become evil, and joined MI6 to stop his brother's evil reign of terror. lol

Lol, he didn't join Scorpia, it was an assignment.

I think they were recruited to MI6 around the same time, but don't quote me on that. I'd have to go look it up again and I'm feeling supremely lazy today.

i just finished the bookand I saw that it was a huge elaborate scheme between MI6 adn Scorpia. I didn't see that coming one bit. Is the next one Ark Angel?

Yup! What did you think of the cliffie?

I hated it!!! The whole 2 seconds it took me to reach over and grab the 6th one were torture!!!

.......

SPOILERS:

I can't believe that he was SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Augh!! The torture!

He's a spy, it's a job hazard.

Have you found Ark Angel yet?

No, I'm still waiting. my school library is slow...

I cried for an hour before reaching over and snatching the book away from my brother, then stared blankly at the cover for ten minutes before I worked up the nerve to open it....

Lol, well as my hill-billy Grandpa would say, "It's alright, everything's chicken but the gravy."

Gotta love my Grandpa.

I can't wait for March!!! I got a $50 check for Christmas and it's got 'Scorpia Rising' written all over it!

I'm going to work on aqquiring Alex Rider next year, right now I'm getting the Ranger's Apprentice books (Got nine so far, and I'm ordering Book Ten on the nineteenth *Cheer*) but by next year I'm going to get things sorted so I can work on collecting the AR novels as well as get books eleven and twelve in RA (Those haven't arrived yet)

I HAVE TO CHECK MY LIBRARY FOR THOSE! Who are they by again? (My memory is lameo...) I meant to today, but then I remembered to look for Robinson Crusoe and totally forgot!!! *Sulk*

Oh, hey, another series you lot might enjoy since you like Alex Rider, check out the Young Bond series by Charlie Higson, those are epic as well. There's five books out right now, so it should entertain for a bit ^;^

Depends on how long they are, lol. Books that are 200 pages or less (RA) I usually finish in a day.

Yes, me to.

I'm jealous, Curfew! I've only read the first 7 (maybe eight) RA books.

They sort of vary, really...don't have the first one right now, but they're realllllllly good...*Fawns*

OH NOEZ! *Chucks the rest of them at you* They're soooo cool! ^;^ gaw, and book TEN is gonna have NINJAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! *squee*


I'm actually working on drawing a picture of Alex as a little kid, not really chibi, just kind of cute. His uncle is behind him....teaching him to use a gun...*evil grin*

[color=#00FF00]Ooh, did I tell you that I got books 4-6 of RA for Christmas? *beat* WAIT! You are ordering book 10 early right? it doesn't come out until April, right?

The Legend of Drizzt is by R.A. Salvatore and the first book is called Homeland!

Ooh, I's heard of those! I's want to get them, but.... well, I think they're way too below my reading level and my mom would have a fit.

Ooh, you's must post it when you're done, Curfew! Ah, little Alex shooting a gun! *cackles* Ooh, maybe I should turn that into a fic!/color]

the shooting part, Are you talking about Scorpia? and I'm sad. I still haven't gotten ark angel yet.

No, the shooting thing is my drawing of little Alex learning to shoot a gun for the first time (CHIBI ALEXI!!!!) with his uncle *Squee* It's lameo so far, still need to get the positions right. I can't really shrink Alex Pettyfer into looking like a little kid, so I think I'm going to revert to manga and see how that goes XD Should be pretty easy once I get the base laid out..thinking of sneaking a Scorpia agent in somewhere.

caterpillar I READ THE NEXT BOOOOOK! You won't believe it! *Spoiler* They really DID go all horrible on us! Poor Alex is blind, deaf, and paralized! And that was AFTER they killed everyone he knows! And the thing we didn't know about Allan Blunt: HE'S SECRETLY A SLASHER! O_O And Yassen was the slash-ee. It was so gross...I'm so disappointed *Sigh* But poor Alex had to watch them kill Sabina! It was so tragic...

Especially since I totally lied to see what kind of reaction I get. *Punches the air while cackling maniacally* XD

Lol, I almost did to.

I know!! I signed up for the RA newsletter on one of the sites a long time ago, so I knew about the ninjas. Thing is, I had forgotten about them, so thank you very much for reminding me!!!! ...Now I really really need to go to the library, lol!

WUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Fake spoilers PWN! ^;^

Ok, if y'all are gonna start teasin me with spoilers about the RA books, then I'm gonna go find a different sand box to play in!!! *humph*

....

What? We've been sitting here talking about buying it and you haven't ordered it yet? How does that work?

You mean you can order it already? AWWWWWWWWEEESOMEEEEE!!!! ^;^

Aw, Saphirarox, it wouldn't be any fun if you didn't have to worry about it! But since you already now they're fake, here's the gist of what I told E&A:

*Deep breath* Will gets hit with a poisoned arrow and winds up getting rescued by Delia and as a result ends up married to her whilst Halt aqquires amnesia through rather odd means and pretty much everything you know about the series comes to an abrupt standstill while you scream in horror at this new and terribl reality.

Does that about cover it, E&A? Or did I leave something out....

Anyways, I've got a new, horrible thought about what the last Alex Rider COULD be. Because "Worse than death" Doesn't have to mean that something physically happens to Alex. It could be that the thing he does, which is intentionally bad, is so terrible that living with himself after doing it is, in itself, worse than death. Maybe he has to kill someone to save someone else, or something along that line. Sacrifice someone he really cares about (Sabina, maybe). So he may be perfectly fine in the end, just wishing he could have died instead....O_O
