Title: Hello Everyone
Post by: ThinkAgain on March 15, 2009, 10:06:20 PM

Just saying Hi because I'm new here.

I should've made a post here first before I jumped onto the other boards, but I honestly didn't even notice this board  :P

Besides that, I actually originally read animorphs several years ago, but my reading was sort of splotchy because my local library didn't have all the books. I started to miss them, found this site through google, re-read the series through the e-books, and decidied to join the community. I always wanted to find people to talk to that also liked the series; most people my age, when asked about animorphs, either say, "What are you talking about?" or "You mean that kid's series?" I'm glad to see I'm not only one who smilies when a hawk flies overhead  ;D

HELLo Think!!
I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us. You already visited a little the forum, but maybe you didn't see all the projects, so please let me introduce them to you:

- The Ebooks project: Animorphs (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0)), Remnants (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html)) and Everworld (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html)); we just miss Everworld #10 now, but the other ebooks need to be cleaned a little (mistakes, we don't know where the chapters begin and finish, etc.) so if you wanna be a beta-reader/correcter...;

- RAFipedia: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0), 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);

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

- the Translation project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html (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;

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

- the 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 Smiley project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html), we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...) You can already see man of them in the [more] page of the smilies, when you write a message. Wonderful, isn't it?

You can take a look, and even participate if you want.

You'll soon see that many RAFians aren't Humans. In fact, the majority isn't Human. So please add your own species here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html)

Oh, and your avatar is very cool ^^ We also have a thread where we rate the signatures and avatars.

If you have questions, ask Richard or the Rafian staff. ^^

<Hello, Think!> says a nearby dinosaur.  <I know what you mean about smiling when a hawk flies overhead . . . or if you see one in a tree . . . or if you see a bunch of leaves in a tree that happens to be shaped like a hawk . . . okay, so maybe I'm a bit obsessed, but can you really blame me?>

<Anyway, point is, welcome to RAF!  I'm DinosaurNothlit, but you can call me Dino, Nothlit, or DN if you'd prefer.>

Hiya, Think!  Welcome to RAF.  I hope you enjoy your time here.  And, if you don't mind, now would be the time to relinquish your sanity.  Relinquish.  That's a good word.

Anywho, I thought I should say, I absolutely love your avatar.

*a fuming seal...waddles?...up*
LARKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE SANITIES ARE MY JOB!!!!!!!!  Shoo! 

Sorry about that.  Welcome to RAF, think!  I am a magic sea.  As Bladeh (that's what we sometimes call Bladepaw) said, we are not normal.  So, you may call me horsefan or horsie or seal.  Anyone is fine.  And Anna calls me sealykins, but...

Title: Re: Hello Everyone
Post by: Faerie Larka on March 16, 2009, 04:30:54 PM

Whatevs, Horsie.  I just leave them on the RAFfloor anyways.  So you can still collect them :)

Title: Re: Hello Everyone
Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on March 16, 2009, 06:38:48 PM

*takles Larka* my point is to NOT have them on the floor you bozo!Why must everyone try and ruin my work?  I know what I'll do! *tosses Larka down incinerator chute*

Title: Re: Hello Everyone
Post by: Faerie Larka on March 16, 2009, 06:39:33 PM

*flies back out*

Nice try, Horsie.  I think you may need to invest in some anger management classes.   ;)

Title: Re: Hello Everyone
Post by: ThinkAgain on March 16, 2009, 08:03:31 PM

I don't think I was ever sane to begin with... ;)

Even if I had some sanity, it would go in the shiny green bottle on the top shelf with the other ones.

Welcome to RAF! I'm Gaz, but you'll notice a few others call me Gazzy.

Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on March 17, 2009, 04:51:44 PM

Think, You'll fit right in. 

And Larka, seal anger management classes do not exist.   See?  I'm calm now.

*begins meditating on how I proved Larka wrong* ;)

Title: Re: Hello Everyone
Post by: Faerie Larka on March 17, 2009, 05:11:08 PM

So that means you'll be fine with me dropping all these sanities on the floor!

*drops*

*opens one eye, and floats the sanity into the incinerator chute, then closes eye again*

...burn...

*levitates up to top shelf, takes bottle, melts the glass and re-shapes it into a shiny green sphere*

Hmn. I wonder if this will bounce?

*tests a theory*

Oops.

Gimme' a minute. I'll get that cleaned up for you.


*minute later...*

Whew! Here's your bottle, Think!

*Cuddles Bottle and quietly talks to it, assuring it won't get broken ever again*

*Counts and recounts santities inside, and then puts in back on the shelf when satisfied*

Hi there, and thanks for fixing the bottle.  ;D

Hi Brad,

By the way. I added the sanity bottle to my sig. Does it get stacked up? I have a widescreen so it doesn't. Does it lay horizontal on low res monitors too? I hate having towered pics in a sig.

Title: Re: Hello Everyone
Post by: Faerie Larka on March 19, 2009, 04:30:35 PM

Lol.  The sanity bottle is very cool.  And I have a widescreen too, so I don't know.

I'm probably going to take it out soon though when the joke gets old. I like my grayscale theme, and I find my running wolf too cool to be places by an almost as cool bottle filled with sanities.

*You're a good little bottle, yes you are*
