This is a *CHALLENGE!* For those of you out there who have read Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and/or Extras. Well, maybe I shouldnt call this a challenge. It's more of a....discussion. Write a ficlet about whether or not you agree with Scott Westerfeld's idea of what our future will be like. Will there be Uglies or Pretties or Specials or Extras? Will we have hoverboards and hovercams? Will there be Special Circumstances? Will we have face ranks? -Include why you think the Rusties died out. -Include how you think the Rusties died out. And maybe after a while I'll post a ficlet saying the REAL way how the Rusties died out. P.S.- Write it as a sequel to this please.

I&#8217;ve read all of Scott Westerfeld&#8217;s stuff and I really like it, but sorry I don&#8217;t think I can commit myself to this challenge. Too overwhelming. :P</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/13794?basename=30149 2007-12-25T15:28:01Z Culture Shock w/ Mike Schwartz http://ficlets.com/authors/mike_schwartz <p>wait, didnt it say in the books that the rusties died out becaus of a release of chemicals that made gasoline explode, so all their vehicles and such exploded. i&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s what the books said. maybe not?</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/13794?basename=30142 2007-12-25T13:19:59Z Dr. Mousse http://ficlets.com/authors/gathkalvr <p>omg i love those books! im still reading extras thought so yeah.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/13794?basename=26469 2007-12-03T23:49:22Z Flute Loop<33 http://ficlets.com/authors/sasha <p>mk, just thought I&#8217;d let you know I sequeled =)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/13794?basename=26110 2007-12-01T21:41:47Z .:band baby:. http://ficlets.com/authors/bandbaby <p>ill tell you how i found out the real reason when i post the ficlet<br />promise =]]]</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/13794?basename=23865 2007-11-18T04:47:53Z MissJonas1492 http://ficlets.com/authors/princesssister <p>I&#8217;ve read the first three.
