...Me? Well, if you insist...
« on: April 12, 2010, 01:53:34 AM »
Why hullo there, RAF Forum!  ;D I'm awfully pleased to meet you at last.  I've heard many things (some good, the rest amazing) about you, and am at last in your midst.   :waves:

My username may make it seem as though I enjoy charging about, shrieking the last syllables of names for minutes at a time; my name is in fact simply Skye, but because it's woefully boring spelled that way (or so I'm told), it's occasionally spelled with three E's.  I'm rather tight home-skillets with your member Genies9 (or Stephyyy, as I would say), and if you've ever heard her discuss something called "A Bit of Fry & Laurie", well, you might want to prepare yourself to hear all about it all over again, hehe.  Yet another of the many obsessions she's gifted me over the years!

Thanks to aforementioned dear friend, I am beginning my way through the series; so far so good!  I, in fact, had encountered Animorphs once before in life; I was about 11, I believe, and had picked up a book at a garage sale.  I regrettably forget the exact title, but nearly every scene is burned in my memory and it was one of the few books I recall devouring.  It wasn't of the series-proper, but written like a prologue, if I recall correctly.  Involved a scene with much green jelly taking the form of thousands of fish, I think.  Dear me.  I'll try & find my copy and if I do, I will elaborate!  I miss that book.

As far as offline me, I'm such an actress that I even enjoy the line-memorizing part of my job, Stephen Fry is my hero, and I live & die on my iPhone (except when it auto-corrects spelling very stupidly, such as "theyy" to "Rhett".  Really, Apple?  REALLY?).

Here's to many happy returns!

And, a proper: Why thankya m'dear!  I fully expect your job description will be filled splendidly.  We have 'til... next Sunday.  -starts darting around, thinking addicted thoughts-

I shall have to begin meeting all these people I've heard of now!  Especially... -ahem-  The fellow you're RAFdating.  Very important.  I'm practically the in-laws in this situation, you see.

Hello!  :)  Very pleased to meet you.  (Hehe; so I'd heard from Steph!  We Skyes tend to be on the same mental WiFi network, it seems.  Unless one turns evil.  Then we lock the network and conveniently don't send them the new passcode.)

Phew.  I'm surrounded by too much sanity lately!  All sorts of crazy suggestions like not watching Star Wars again because we saw it last week.  Sane people.

wHELLcome, Skyeeeeeee! *Can't help her/himself and watch the sky...*
I'm Vis... I'm Dameg, another RAFian. Come with me, please, I have something to show you. It's here, after this door *Open a heavy door* We call them the RAFprojects. *Lead Skyeee to a long and dark hallway, with many doors, some in the dark, some with light coming from the other side. Arrive near the first door* Here at your left...

- The Ebooks project: [Help wanted!] Animorphs (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0), Remnants (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html <= finished), Everworld (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html <= almost finished, it's our current priority, we need help to correct the volume #3 and check all the volumes to be sure there is no missing page) and GONE (new project?); the Everworld/Animorphs ebooks need to be cleaned a little (mistakes, missing pages, we don't know where the chapters begin and finish, etc.) so if you wanna be a correcter... call me, I head that projects.

Facing it is...

- RAFipedia: http://rafipedia.wetpaint.com/, an encyclopedia headed up by Estelore, our star (a true star, who make light and burn in space... but she has a body to come on Earth);

Next it's...

- the Audiobooks project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0, a full-cast audio version of Animorphs who need more "actors" and voices, headed by Kit Cloudkicker (Jess), MrGuy, Morfowt, and Wildweathel;

and here...

- the Graphic Novel project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,416.0.html and http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2276.0.html, a Webcomic headed by Gafrash.

You also have...

- the Smiley project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html, we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...);

here and facing it is...

- the Translation project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html, a recently started project/mutual support group for translations into other languages; currently only in French (Tocade, Anidragon and myself), Chinese (Morfowt), Indonesian (Nat), Swedish (Mira and Zana), and Esperanto (Wildweathel); we translate only the volumes never edited in our countries/languages, to make the ebooks;

Next door is for the special project:

- http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3738.0.html: the adventures of the RAFians;

At the end it's for the little projects:

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3810.0.html;

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3911.0.html to make the planets we hear about in Animorphs;

- the paper-RPG project: a role-playing game (on table, with paper, pen and dices...) about the World of Animorphs; I head this project, and it'll be write in French at the beginning, but we need help to find, class and write everything we know about the species, the planets, the powers we see in Animorphs, fix them, see what we keep and what we can't keep (because of the KASU, not clear, exception for the main characters/books, etc.), complete the knowledges about species/planets we know and even create new species/planets...; this project will be on my own website, so if you wanna join, ask me the link ^^;

- the RPG project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4069.0.html to make a video game about Animorphs, with RPGmaker;

- the Command-line game project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3787.0.html for another kind of video game about Animorphs;

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3773.0.html where we count all the people killed by the Animorphs;

- the RAFkaraoke: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html and http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3635.msg245735.html#msg245735, where we make songs and sing them...

and some other projects who come and go. Please check the list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,13.0.html

*Standing in front of Skyeee* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller. ... and if you want, you can add your age too: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,318.0.html...
We also opened a http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=36.0 to teach to each others our languages and other stuffs.

Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Skyeee can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Skyeee is now alone in the hallway*

Hi, Skye(ee!!), I've heard about you! :D I'm glad you're here at last! I can't say I remember anything about green jelly becoming fish... but I haven't reread the entire series in a while. Maybe that's my hint to pick up my well-worn copy of The Invasion again...  ;D

Anyways, welcome! I'm Marie, and I look forward to seeing you around the boards!

I think it only fair to warn you: this site is a drug. A heavy drug. Combined with six cups of coffee. Once you pop you can't stop! *Is shot*  ;D

But it is also a ton of fun and you will meet some of the best people you've ever known. Hopefully. Otherwise we seriously aren't doing our job right. Welcome to the gang! *Throws confetti*

Hey! I found it! Nice to meet you Skyeee...eeeeeee... eeee! ... eeeeee? Whoa...

Anyway, I'm so glad you've decided to post! Steph's been so excited about you joining! She said you wanted to go all Spanish-Inquisition on me (or something like that), so... I guess I'm ready for that...

Either way, though, welcome to RAF, and to Animorphs. I'm sure you'll love them both :)

Marie and Abby are my wonderful RAFsisters ^_^

Hi Dameg!  My goodness :O  I love all this!  You guys are prolific! I can't wait to dive in.  I'm enjoying getting to know the forum & whatnot.  Audiobooks project looking particularly fascinating; and I love me some emoticon pixelling!  I'm a bit of a PSPX nerd and a serious graphics artist (on the smaller scale of things; 100x100, pixels, etc.) so, yeah!

*looks around*  Hmm.  Nice hallway!  I like your choice in flooring.

Squee!  ;D  My reputation proceeds meh.  I'm getting really quite curious now about all that; so many memories loosely attached to reality.  I'll be going on a concerted effort of a Book Hunt this week; breaking out the pith helmet!  To the library - CHAAARGE!

*is about to run out of room*  *remembers*  Oh yeah!  Hullo, Marie!  Lovely to meet you!  *charges toward local book emporium*

EEEEH!  Confetti ^_^  -happiness, great and epic amounts of happiness-  I love me a good confetti welcome.  And, I'm used to handling seriously addictive internet substances; try the iTunes App Store.  I think I need to start an AA chapter; Apps Anonymous. :P

This sounds like just what I need.  :hug:  I'm... I'm just so darn jazzed!  Haha.

Thank you!  And it's lovely to meet you as well, Aluminator!  Or, as I also see here... Scott!  Good name... a good start.

And, you never expect the Spanish Inquisition... ;)


..Nahhh, no need to fear; just a scare tactic.  Typical shock test; we start the CIA agents out the same way!  Don't ask where...
*sits in easy-chair*  So.  You & Steph. (that'll take getting used to.. no three Y's.  Deary me.)  You know... -polishes light saber-  I was in the war of... '99.  Lotsa stuff I seen.  I take things seriously as a result.  How 'bout you, lad?  You take things seriously?  Except sarcasm, which should always be approached with a light air of comfortable confidence in one's own assumptions?  And irony which is a thing of its own and usually British?

Thanks, Comet! (is that it?  apologies if I'm off there, just used to calling people by the words in their usernames from back in the old days on Neopets... loong story  ::) )  Hehe, yeah, I joined right before a weekend of performances; didn't see my laptop again until last night, lol. :yawn:
I'm sure I will; I'm having a great time already  :-]  Can y'all tell I'm testing out the smilies?  ..No?  Then I obviously haven't used them enough yet!  *self-slap*
