Title: Greetings and salutations
Post by: riay_night on August 18, 2009, 02:20:26 AM
Hey there! My name is Jourdan, and I'm new here at the forums. I discovered this place when I was rereading the ebooks online--as a mistake, my mother gave away ALL (and yes, I mean all--Visser, the Chronicles, etc.) my Animorphs books several years ago when I was in highschool. So finding the ebooks online was a lifesaver. As I reread further and further, I realized how freaking EPIC the series is--I also realized that I have no friends that even have a clue as to what a Andalite is, haha. So, I decided to join up here!

Nice to meet you all in advance  ;)

I would never forgive my mum if she gave away my Animorphs collection (not that she ever would since she bought me about a third of them!)

Welcome to RAF !  :)

Hello there, Jourdan!  Welcome to RAF!  Call me Horsie, or Horse, or Seal, or Horseal, or Horsefan, or a number of other things.  To make it short, just call me Horsie.

But, unfortunately, on RAF, we have a no-sanity rule, so...well, I'd be grateful if you gave me yours.  Thank you, and again, welcome! :)

Thanks for all the lovely welcomes guys! I look forward to finally having someone to discuss Animorphs with, haha.

And by the way, Phoenix004, my mom bought a third of mine as well... but somehow that still didn't stop her from giving them away, lol. I've been giving her so much crap for it lately.

Welcome to RAF!

May I introduce you to the projects we have here on RAF?

- The Ebooks project: [Help wanted!] Animorphs (E-Book Project), Remnants (Remnants ebooks <= finished) and Everworld (Everworld E-Books main thread); we need somebody to scan the volume #10 of Everworld, and the other Everworld/Animorphs 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 correcter... call me, I head that projects.

- RAFipedia: 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: The Animorphs Audiobook Project, a full-cast audio version of Animorphs who need more "actors" and voices, headed by MrGuy, Morfowt and Wildweathel;

- the Translation project: Translations of Applegate's books, 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: Animorphs:The Graphic Novel and Visual References - Animorphs Graphic Novel, 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: smiley suggestions/projects, we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...);

- the RAFkaraoke: RAFkaraoke, where we make songs and sing them... It's pretty new... But please sing with us!

Are you a Human or from another species? Please add yourself on the list: What is your species?

Have fun!

Yeah, were the books collecting dust in the attic, or did you move out and she got rid of 'em, or was she just being a um... not, nice, lady?

Man, I would freak out so bad if my mom just up and decided to give away my animorphs books.  I think I might cry.  I'm glad the ebooks were here for you, at least.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!  Hope you enjoy your stay!  I'm DinosaurNothlit, RAF's resident ankylo-tyrannus.

Welcome to RAF.

Don't worry, Cloaky, my girlfriend says she forgives you for landing on her face.

And to think, Cloaky's been wasting so much time with his horrid aim when he could have just walked in the front door.

To be quite honest, though, I'm not surprised.
