Hahaha...thanks folks.

Now that IEP season is over, I shall be around more...I figure I could probably stop being so darn anti-social and post somewhere other than the GESB thread. :)

I figure it's about time I introduce myself now that I've been here three months. *wave*

My real name's Jess (so clever with the screen name, 'eh?), I'm 23 (feel really old here), and live in Wisconsin. I just finished college, and now I'm a special ed teacher, and I also work as an in-home therapist for children with Autism. I love reading everything and anything (including Animorphs, obviously...) Myitt more or less introduced me to this place, I've known her since I was, hm, 13, 14? We met at a place called Kimmeree's Anichat (not sure if any of you have heard of it.)

My character is...mostly human? Female, 20's-ish, typical looking, no powers. However, she (Shalner) used to be a yeerk, developed a symbiotic relationship with her host (Jess), then Jess kind of disappeared. She's also a play-thing of Crayak's. Breekan1 is her "brother", and they rather sarcastically refer to Crayak as "dad." She has a lot of history and problems that she doesn't care to share....hm...

Can't think of anything else now, see ya around!

A belated hi! I'm also 23 and a teacher....AND my real name is Jess! O.O Creepy
But at least we have stuff in common!

Perhaps I shall see you in an rp or two. :)

Don't feel so bad. You got Terenia. And I'm not far behind you, I'm 21 (for another 3 months).

Haha...Thanks Gaz, I know there's a good sized handful of us in our twenties..it was the TEACHER thing that was kind of killin' me.



Terenia, what do you teach?

Title: Re: Hello
Post by: Gaz on March 23, 2009, 09:36:29 PM

I'm about a year away from being a teacher actually. Lutheran elementary education is my major. By this time next spring I'll be student teaching (hopefully).

11th grade American Lit and AP Language & Composition (aka English). So a lot of the peeps on RAF are younger than my students   :-\ I'm almost through my second year, though, and I love it. :)

Post by: Dameg on April 05, 2009, 11:23:56 PM

HELLo!! I'm a bit late... no, I'm really late! I was in vacations, you know, visiting other places, no stress, no invasion, no stupid Taxxons around me... well... I usually present the different projects we have on RAF. Of course, I won't ask you to help, it's just a... visit... now you just gonna visit the projects room of RAF's building:

- 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) <= finished) 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...).

Of course you can participate if you want, or just take a look ^^

And like you, many RAFians aren't Humans... The majority isn't Human. You can add your species here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html) if you want.

Hola, Dameg. I think I was supposed to talk to you about the e-book project. I've been reading them, and have making notes of things that need to be cleaned up. I'm on number 18 now, and can start cleaning away if you tell me how. :)

Title: Re: Hello
Post by: Dameg on April 05, 2009, 11:36:31 PM

The Animorphs ebook project? I'm not really in charge of it, except if Richard tells so... but if you correct the mistakes, clean the punctuation, and make the chapters/paragraphs correctly, it'll be already a great thing. After that... if you wanna present the Animorphs ebooks a little like I presented the Remnants ebooks, some of the first Animorphs ebooks and the Vegemorphs ebook, I can give you the file I use... I usually just put the text on that file, edit a little it (and correct the mistakes/punctuation and this kind of stuff), and transform it into a PDF file (in fact, Paladin does it for me, because with my computer I loose the links I made in the .doc file, but with his computer it's ok).

Title: Re: Hello
Post by: Kit Cloudkicker on April 05, 2009, 11:45:08 PM

Yeah, Rich told me to talk to you about it! I'm just pretty darn lazy.  ;)

Sure, if you want to send me that file that would be great. I might have some more questions, I'm not all crafty with PDF stuff.

Title: Re: Hello
Post by: Dameg on April 05, 2009, 11:48:02 PM

Ok, I'll send you the file, and also an example of a finished .doc ebook. And about the PDF, you can just send me back the .doc files or send them to Paladin, by email, and we'll transform them into .pdf files.
It'll be great to have your help ^^

Hey Shalner, I as well am 23, for the next four months anywho.

I am too in the education field, but I'm the registrar of a school inside the Juvenile Hall here.

I work beside the school's RSP teacher, so i understand how annoying those IEPs can be. While being in a Juvie, a lot of kids leave before an IEP can be finished, so she gets pissed off sometimes.

She also hates it when a kid comes in with an IEP that's already past compliance, putting the pressure on her to get it done.

Post by: Dameg on April 06, 2009, 02:11:35 AM

I also already like you Shalner! friend

I was going for juvenile, but if you want to change it to frail old-timer... no, if it was frail old-timer, I'd lash out at her. And i wouldn't do that to Jess.
