The nerdfighters have been thorn between:
"Eoin Colfer is probably the best author i have ever read! And his writing style is very similar to the style of Douglas Adams!"
"YES!!!!! YEAH!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm pretty excited)."
And:
"I know it's all about personal preferences, but, though I don't think Colfer is going to ruin the series or something, I'm not sure he's the right writer for this job."
"That isn't right. Do they even know how many books make up a trilogy? FIVE. FIVE BOOKS MAKE UP A TRILOGY. Not six, not four (well, it used to, but not anymore), but FIVE. Five books."
I particularly liked this response:
"Well, I am a firm believer that and addition to the series doesn't ever kill the original. Star Wars is still great...oh wait."
My two cents were:
"God. That is just... wrong. I absolutely hated Artemis Fowl. I know it's just a personal opinion, but, for me, besides the idea that finishing up someone else 's work is pretty weird, my first impression of this is that the book would suck.
Does anybody know if Douglas Adams specified before he died if and/or who he wanted to finish up the series?"
(By the way, I still don't know the answer to that question)
So, what about you guys? Any thoughts on this?
PS: although it's hard to admit, I have never read any H2G2 books besides the first one. I'm working on it, though.
PPS: same post at UR.org
PPPS: how weird is it that
ETA: Did anybody get a chance to see
ETA II: I've made a new channel for me on YouTube. The "Watch All the Brotherhood 2.0 Videos Project" kind of inspired me.

P.P.P.S. Very weird.
I'm still wondering what happened.
*goes check if indeed self does not have more*
Found another!
Also, there is no "right person" to continue HG2G - ugh, write it as fanfiction and label it as such, or leave the original books alone!
Exactly! The whole thing seemed to me as very weird indeed.
(I was organazing my pictures last night and I ran into our pictures -- couple pictures, that is -- and I was amazed. They -are- really pretty. That camera had something very special about herself. Maybe she shipped us *laughs*)
(Oh, we took some nice pictures with that camera. I miss it. It totally broke after we broke up. Maybe it did ship us.)
(We broke up and broke its heart. Poor thing. Got too attached!)
(Yep. Just like Defex.)
(Oh, yes, I remember him crying... And you broke up with my in my birthday! And you kept saying you were sorry, and you cried, while I was like "It's okay. Really. It's fine. We're together on that decision. It's fine, Luisa, why are you -crying-?". I have some funny memories about that day. Well, actually, looking at the pictures I could remember -every- single day they were took.)
(Aw, don't remind me of that. But, yeah, I have vivid memories of all the photos and situations. It was fun.)
(It was fun, no doubt about it. But it's starting to feel... a bit dream-like to me. It's like... I remember, and I remember it clearly, but it's so far back in time that it feels... Somewhat unreal. Actually, I have that feeling about almost everything pre-Arthur. I wonder if the labor messed up with my head.)
(Nah, I feel that way, too. About you, about Kill... even about Chris. It's weird, really.)
