not that he most likely hasnt thought of it, but i think OSC should write a book on the pre-bugger war. if he has than i apologize, because i havent been able to read very much of his work. enders game, enders shadow, shadow of the hegemon, speaker for the dead, children of the mind, and shadow puppets. my school doesnt think its necessary to provide many of his books. i would buy more but there arent many jobs up here. but any way.
another idea i had was for him to write a book of faerie tales from each world. like folklore on path, or divine wind. he has already created a whole world around himself, and those little details would make things complete.

i also have a question, but i didnt want to spam up the forum with a bunch of new useless topics, but, when is this movie coming out? it sounds great. i have been thinking, " why havent they made a movie out of this yet?" and i read a minute ago about it, then googled it. i couldnt find a single place that said when it was to be released.

if any of you could help me out that would be great.

James

I'm pretty sure posts like this get locked or removed pretty quickly. In the past, it hasn't been that OSC is unappreciative, but more like he has to avoid a couple of things:

- people popping up years later claiming they "gave him" an idea for a book in his own series and making life a pain, even though he's already thought of almost everything worth doing, and

- interference of external ideas with ideas that he is currently working on.

He's usually very polite about the whole thing, but it probably is somewhat problematic for him if he has to figure out what threads to avoid.

PS: I also could be totally wrong on this and/or the reasons for it, but that's how I recall the topics..

Just an fyi.
