Title: Hello All!
Post by: Aila on January 31, 2009, 07:12:18 PM: Ha, I just randomly found this site via being bored and searching up on a nostaglic whim. I was actually surprised to find a still thriving Animorphs forum, so... Hi!

Intro, hmmm...

Well, my name is Aila, I discovered animorphs in the 4th or 5th grade, and I'm 23 now, in school hoping to one day be an illustrator while working in a bookstore (yay) and radiostation (I hate mah voice). I'm a total bookworm, and think the books I grew up with helped me become who I am, so Animorphs gets major credits there, especially with the whole website development skillz thing. I can still remember my first, totally unoriginal webpage Rachel and Cassie's Animorphs site, but I met one of my best friends to this day through it, and we're still best buds, so yay there. So basically, lots and lots of fond memories via Animorphs, and it pisses me off Goosebumps is getting a big ole re-release, but yet Scholastic sits on K.A. properties when I'm left even now searching for out of print copies of Animorphs and Everworld to complete my library.

So... Hi!

p.s. I offer you an old Crayak fanart of mine from years ago too:

Ah how many animorphs doodles are throughout my middleschool sketch books.

*looks at it* It's been years since I drew it, but I'm assuming it's some sort of wire/tubes of wire stuff. I wasn't very good at drawing technical stuff back then. It's a very.. organic Crayak.

Thanks guys!

I am a seal. A magic seal, so don't be shocked by RAF species. Oh, and nice universe miss, Cloaky.

*waddles up, pick up bin with sanities in it, and waddles off, dumping them in the incinerator*

Sorry. RAF protocol. I think.

I'm something stuck in a fobwatch. Just dunno how to get out. It's kinda cramped in here, but I THINK I was female. Romana perhaps?

Post by: Faerie Larka on January 31, 2009, 11:22:16 PM: Hmmm. Fobwatches can be a bit annoying.

So it was you who drew this amazing Crayak!? I already know your drawing for a long time ^^ Art about Crayak is so rare... maybe yours is the only one!

I hope you'll stay on RAF a long time.
RAFians have many projects you can participate and contribute to if you want:

Quote from: wildweathel
E-books Project (mostly complete, and therefore inactive. However, there has been some activity trying to clear up the last little details in support of the Translation Project),
Remnants and Everworld E-books projects will be soon finished too (miss Everworld #10)...

Quote from: wildweathel
RAFipedia (an encyclopedia of the weirdness that goes on here, headed up by Estelore)

The Audiobooks project, a full-cast audio version of Animorphs, which is currently reactivating. There are many non-acting positions open, plus quite a few parts (especially extras) as well. Mrguy, Morfowt, and myself are currently heading that.

The Translation Project (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html) (actually in the Other Books board currently), a recently started project/mutual support group for translations into other languages. With a lot of random language-geekyness. Currently, there's been interest in French (Dameg, Tocade, Anidragon), Chinese (Morfowt), Indonesian (Nat), and Esperanto (myself)--but as far as I know, no real goals have been set yet. Personally, I'm only interested in continuing work on my translation once the Audiobooks are moving along well.

The Webcomic project: making the comic of Animorphs.

The RPG project: I'll do it in French, but with some RAFians, we gonna translate. And RAFians also help ^^ a lot!

And if you feel alone or sad, come to the Sharing, and you won't be alone anymore... never! About your sadness, it depends... ^^'

Title: Re: Hello All!
Post by: wildweathel on February 01, 2009, 01:10:18 PM: Hi, Aila. Dameg's already mentioned the projects (I'm getting terribly slow...), so welcome aboard (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsF2inhZO2Ys&ei=euWFSdXRDuPetge8spzICQ&usg=AFQjCNHElPpbYV7vPMl8wSt64BNu6rHJ7A&sig2=mHyiUO0D4zLmfoaG80Mfgg).

PS: Have you seen the library (http://animorphsforum.com/ebooks/)?

Post by: Estelore on February 01, 2009, 09:32:05 PM: Welcome, Time Lordling! I'm the resident Star. I'm not really a Caleban, so please don't confuse us. Blasted pedantic creatures, those. Ugh.

Regardless, hello! I'm Este. :)

Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on February 01, 2009, 09:49:53 PM: Hey, Aila, check out the "What is your species thread" in the life board to make your input!
Title: Re: Hello All!
Post by: Cloak on February 01, 2009, 09:51:07 PM: What the minute pinniped said. Please do, Aila. Make sure we're accurate.
Title: Re: Hello All!
Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on February 01, 2009, 09:52:31 PM: Cloaky, can't you call me a seal? Please? Pinniped seems too formal.
Title: Re: Hello All!
Post by: Cloak on February 01, 2009, 09:56:58 PM: I'm a formal guy. I won't tell you how long it took me to start calling Estelore "Esty".

Anyway, I think we might be straying from the topic.
Title: Re: Hello All!
Post by: Aila on February 03, 2009, 10:57:08 PM: Lol, thanks again guys. I'll definatly look into stuff, especially that web comic thing. We'll see if I can find that species thread. XD
