Adult Version of "the Rookie": would people be interested?

Just figured a quick Poll might be interesting.  I got my copy of the Rookie and it was not until I read that Quentin's tattoo read "Shuck You" that this was not quite "The Rookie" I had first listened to.  Now I found out later that This was a young adult version of the book released so it was more appropriate for younger people. To that end I have to say I understand where our FDO is coming from.  I would agree that the orginal podcasted version had a lot of cursing and graphic content which perhaps is inappropriate for young adults. 

 

That being said, I miss the cursing and graphic content.  I miss the commentators talking about planetary nuns at a purist nation rapist convention.  I missed all the 'shits' and 'fucks' and 'asses' and the multiple combinations therein.  It's what I have grown to expect from a Sigler novel. 

 

SO!  for a new discussion:  Would anyone be interested in a non-young-adult version of the book?  I personally would buy a copy.  How bout it junkies?

I have always thought that Scott should have done the "un-censored" version first, but I understand why he went for a young adult version. I'd love to see (and would definitely buy) an "adult" version.

I love the Rookie in print so far (I'm only six chapters in) and I love the way I hear the FDO's voice in my head while I read it!  But I would totally be up for an adult and uncensored version.

unaware that the book I purchased was a young adult version. So yes I would like to have an uncensored edition to put in my libary.

AlphaGirl,

I totally get why you're doing that, not only does it extend Scott's Audience, but it allows young adult's to have a interesting/fun story which is always good; Hell I wish I had the Rookie to read when I was a kid.  Maybe at some point you guys could think of releasing a "special edition" or something which would be an uncensored edition.  I think that there is definately enough interest which would potentially net Dark Overlord Media additional profits. 

 

Just a suggestion.  I know you and the FDO have a grand scheme (even prior to the rolling of the plaid tanks).  I know you both understand we mean no disrespect. We really do appreciate even having the opppotunity to read and share in Scott's work.   

 

Looking forward to Ancestor and the Starter

Re: Adult Version of "the Rookie": would people be interested?

While it would be nice to have uncensored versions, it's definitely not necessary for the franchise. I get what the DOoM Team is doing, and it is pretty freaking brilliant. Hook the adults with the podiobook & they'll buy the print version regardless of the minor language changes. Besides, what kind of Dark Overlord would our FDO be if he gave everyone everything they wanted? I choose to think of it as Scott's little way of letting the rest of us know just who is in charge up in here. ;)

The only reason THE ROOKIE 'cast is still Mature Audiences is because Scott's too damn lazy to re-record it.

Well, I guess it could have something to do with him having a slightly full schedule. Nah. He's just a slacker.

People often misspell definitely as definately and everytime someone does, a comment like that gets made.  Just ignore it.  We all make that mistake occasionally.

Re: Adult Version of "the Rookie": would people be interested?

I would be interested in this, but not today.  I really like the idea of re releasing it in a few years with some added stuff.

 

I'd rather see Sigler put his energy into getting new content out rather than rehashing something that has already been done 3 times (podcast, print and recast).

That being said.....LOVE THIS BOOK and when I read it, his tat doesn't say Shuck.

I gave my 12 year old nephew a copy of the Rookie and he loved it!  Better yet, his mom and dad read it too and now I've got them into Infected and Contagious.  I'll have them on here as new junkies in no time!

Besides, it gives my inner Grammar Nazi a playful outlet Cool

And when I'm really lucky, Gmork will come along and post a Dalek emoticon. I still haven't learned how to post from photobucket or I might do it. That remains the most awesome emoticon I've ever seen.

Just logged into ours for the first time and was amazed that there were actually people in it.

At least I think there were. Not positive. Didn't stay long at all. Cest la vie. Guess it's another Baskin Robbins thing.

Re: Adult Version of "the Rookie": would people be interested?

Thats all I wouldn't have even noticed how it sounded if I wasn't bored and going through all the current threads. I would never forsake the FDO, just teen books. I dont blame him for the switch, they just dont rate real high on my need to have list. And like I said "I hope the Podcasts don't go PG" 

 Thats all. Nothing else to see here folk just keep moving.

Re: Adult Version of "the Rookie": would people be interested?

However, I'm not put off by the Young Reader version. I figured that , if I wanted the adult version, I could catch the podiobook. The production off the audio version was great. Looking forward to all that the FDO has coming up.
