Title: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Darth Revan on April 06, 2009, 12:42:50 AM
Well, sort of. I joined a while ago, e-book project, audio books.

I play Jake's father and the Drode. I think I'd have a good 'David' voice, but i joined too late.

I am 23 years old, I am the registrar at a school inside of a Juvenile Detention Facility, which is fun.  ::)
I hate reading unless the story draws me in away from the world. If i'm reading and the TV or a song is able to distract me, i put the book down. Anything written by K.A. envelopes me completely. She is a godsend!

I know what you mean about the story drawing you into another world! They're the best kind of books.

Welcome :) :)

woo! Thanks :) I've been waiting for that haha :P

I'm like that with numbers sometimes.

Post by: Darth Revan on April 06, 2009, 12:58:46 AM
Yeah, if i'm watching TV, or changing the volume on my laptop, the volume HAS to be in multiples of 5. If I'm wacthing a movie with a friend and s/he changes the volume to 24, I'll move it up one.

That's how I roll :rofl2:

<Hey, welcome to the forum!> says a dinosaur.  <I'm DinosaurNothlit.  Call me Dino, Nothlit, or DN.  Heh, I know what you mean about books that draw you away from the world.  The difference is that I get sucked in so easily, that if I pick up a book that even mildly piques my curiousity at all, I am effectively dead to everything and everyone around me.>

Yeah, unfortunately I take my e-books to work, so when i read a good e-book at work I'm useless.

You won't believe this, but when I replied to you I actually typed out how I always have to have my tv volume going up in fives, but then i deleted it coz I thought you'd find it weird.
Lol!

HELLo Parker!! 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 saw you on the ebook project ^^ I'm glad you joined, and so quickly!!! I usually present the different projects we have on RAF, but maybe you already know all of them... Anyway, if you don't know some of them, read this:

- 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...).

And if you wanna add your species here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html), because many members aren't Humans, so we made a list...
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Darth Revan on April 06, 2009, 03:21:36 AM
I'm an "other species" I once was human, but after medical augmentations and gene therapy, I became more than human, I am a SPARTAN II. My designation is SPARTAN 281.

I love this forum, I'm sad actually that i didn't find it earlier, I could've been a better character in the audio books. As it stands, I'm both Jake's father, and the Drode. My natural voice, I thought, would make a good Tobias, I can also be evil, so i had hoped for V3, but alas, i was too late. So i got what i could.
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Dameg on April 06, 2009, 03:23:40 AM
Oh, you're the Drode?! So cool!!! Even if he doesn't appear very often... But keep hope, with all the people leaving RAF >_< they'll might need new voices...

Welcome to RAF!

I'm really surprised no one has said anything about sanity yet, but I'm too lazy. :P

Hey there! This is Gaz. I'm also called R2 (cuz my name is Rachel and there's another one around somewhere).

Post by: Darth Revan on April 06, 2009, 12:36:02 PM
Wait, which one? I have two Rachels as my Skype contacts that i got through this forum. So many Rachels, yet no time to enjoy them all... ain't dem da brakes *snap*

Were you on Skype last night with Jaime and Goom?

*Seeing as you didn't spell your entire last name, you're keeping it on the DL, I respect that.*

Yep! That was me!
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Darth Revan on April 06, 2009, 04:58:58 PM
Okay, so we're back to two Rachels, that's managable.

Any more, and we'd all go sane. And we can't have that.
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.

I have to ask, what Plushies disease?
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Gaz on April 06, 2009, 05:21:53 PM
If you look in the Post Pictures of You thread I've posted pictures of me holding different virus plushies I've bought.
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Darth Revan on April 06, 2009, 05:24:28 PM
When i get home, I'll do just that, the filters on my work computer block a lot of the pics on the Internet.

I can see a good deal of them, but a ton of sigs with pics get blocked, i'll check it later tonight though.

Would plushies disease be kinda like cushy disease?

But, I'm the talking seal come to take your sanity.  You may of heard of me from others, but here I am, so hand it over.  Now.

What is sanity? You dare insult me by assuming i have this, this "sanity"? baugh!

I have no need for your 'sanities'. Although i will say, "good show" on the incinerator, no one wants anyone to retain their lost "sanities" as you call them.
Title: Re: Why hello, I am new.
Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on April 06, 2009, 06:17:46 PM
I think I like this guy already.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, I was just making sure.  We have no need for sanities either.

It's okay, confusions caused by strange terms such as *shudders* "sanity" bring out the worst in me. I apologize for my rash behavior.

I offer a gift, a plasma grenade to smite those who offend you. *presents grenade* May it destroy your foes, and those they congregate around.

Hello Ash, you wouldn't be related to a certain nomad that attacks animals with red and white orbs would you?


Sweet avatar, very mysterious and classy.


Goom: No worries bro, it happens. My own aunt couldn't spell my name, although she couldn't spell cloud either, but that's beside the point.

No, my family's names are all spelled differently than the "normal" way of spelling:

Father - Willam W-I-L-L-A-M, not William
Mother - *mid name* Rashael R-A-S-H-A-E-L, not Rochelle
Sister - was given my mother's middle name, spelled the same way
Me - Brandon B-R-A-N-D-O-N, not Branden

See? so I've never been normal, even since birth, I've always been "a little off".


Muahahahahaha... heh heh.

i win, cuz my name was mispelled on my birthcertificate, and noone noticed till when i was 17 i went to get my license and the lady told me i had mispelled my name on the application, and im like wth? i think i know how to spell my own name. But then she showed me the birthcertificate, which no1 had bothered to read after it was filled out. so I had to legally change my name to the correct spelling.

They spelled it Kathrine

it should spell: KathErine

how do you forget an e?! wth

Post by: Darth Revan on April 07, 2009, 03:13:19 AM
Our names, weren't misspelled, they were intentionally spelled differently, for individuality and originality.

But yes, that is unfortunate and rather f*cked up.


I feel honored that my welcoming party has become a very hot topic  :'(

You love me, you really love me
