Hello. ;D I'm Steph. But you can call me "Steph the Mighty." Or "Most Exalted Destroyer of My Pride." You can cower before my mighty thumbs and...
...Oh. Right. Sorry. Eh hem. Let's start again, shall we?
I'm Steph. I'm new on here... well, I lurked occasionally, but still. :P Now I'm legit!
I am here for one reason and one reason only: All my friends and family think I'm mad as a hatter whenever I start talking about Animorphs. And also, if it hadn't been for Animorphs, I wouldn't have spent so much time on the internet as an early adolescent. XD So, you know, it seems only right that I come here now.
Anyway. I'm here because of the Animorphs discussion, and because y'all've got those *points to eBooks* whereas some guy on Amazon insists on challenging my fangirl tendencies by asking a ridiculous price for Animorphs #51 (the only book I'm missing. AGH!)
Oi... and for the record. XD You can call me Steph/Genie/Genies whatever. :P No one's called me the latter two since... erm... the last time I used the chatrooms on AOL. Many, many years ago.
-
Oh, a new RAFian ^^ And a true one! You already don't have any sanity (if you don't understand that word, it's OK). wHELLcome, man!
Heh, come with me, I have something to show you. It's here, after this door *Open a heavy door* We call them the RAFprojects. *Lead Genies to a long and dark hallway, with many doors, some in the dark, some with light coming from the other side. Arrive near the first door* Here at your left...
- The Ebooks project: [Help wanted!] 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 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.
Facing it is...
- 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);
Next it's...
- 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 Kit Cloudkicker (Jess), MrGuy, Morfowt, and Wildweathel;
and here...
- 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;
You also have...
- 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.
here and facing it is...
- 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 ^^ ;
At the end it's...
- 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...
- the RAFkaraoke: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html), where we make songs and sing them... It's pretty new... But please sing with us!
*Standing in front of you* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html) 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller.
Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. You can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*You're now alone in the hallway*

Welcome to RAF! I'm Gaz, nice to meet you.
-
Hi there! Welcome to RAF! I'm sure you'll have a great time here. I'm Horsefan, but you can call me Horse, Horsie, or Seal. Because I am a seal...but whatever.
If you have any questions, I'd advise PMing our distinguished staff, Richard, Esplin9466, Phoenix004, Claire, and Goom. They'll help ya out.
I think I'm gonna wait a little bit for our...initiation, get used to the madness that is RAF. Welcome again!
-
thanks, seal! :)
welcome to the forum, genie. your asterisk-usage is outstanding!
*goom overuses these things*
ah, nice avatar. house is great.
-
Helloooooooooo. How are you "Steph the Mighty?" Welcome to RAF :) Hope you have an absolutely fanstastically wonderful time.
your asterisk-usage is outstanding!
Yes. I approve.
BYTHEWAY! Your sanity? SAYONARA! SAY IT! SAAAAAAAAAAY IT! *ahem*
Yep.
-
Haha, "Most Exalted Destroyer of My Pride." That made me LOL. That quote was from #35, am I right?
Anyway, I'm DinosaurNothlit, but you can call me Dino, DN, or Nothlit.
You'll like it here. I can already tell. ;D
BTW, have you tried Abe Books for #51? They have pretty good prices on the books they have, and last I checked, I think they had most of them.
-
*cough; wave*
Hi. I'm Kit Cloudkicker. Cookies if you know where I hail from....but, I digress. Everyone calls me Jess. :)
Welcome to RAF! We're glad to have you.
-
:P The quote is from #35. I've had it on my facebook favorite quotes for ages, just waiting to bring it out. XD
And thank you all for the welcome. ^_^ It's always such a relief to not be the only crazy person, isn't it?
My own sanity, what's left of it, is packing its bags as we speak and muttering something about how I've always been a lost cause anyway.
-
welcome. :)
-
RAF is an amazing place simply because of the members. i thought i'd never find another serious animorph fan until i found this place.
godsend, i tell ya.
-
Well, Steph.
Howdy! I'm new here, too! And I wish that I'd spent so much of my time on the internet as an early adolescent. *sigh* :'(
Also, that's a fantastic quote and reference. :)
Also, you're an amazing and wonderful person. :)
*leans over to Seal* you're not gonna make HER eat a cat, are you?
(Ha! I knew I could make it through an entire post without an elipses! Told you so... 8) )

crap...

*patpat* it was an excellent try... what was that about a cat? O.O
Ack! I just discovered all the smileys... how do you people make it through a post without going emoticon happy?? *sits on hands avoid the urge* Never mind how I'm typing without my hands.
-
*swirls his cloak and enters the room.*
Hiya, Genies, I am Cloaky -- the local Realm Walker. . . . What? Seal, you made adeon eat a cat? Adeon isn't ALF -- or ARE you?
Genies, clearly you fit in here perfectly.
It's always such a relief to not be the only crazy person, isn't it?
Oh, we're not real -- just facets of your own psyche, and you just don't know it. ;)
Anyway. I'm here because of the Animorphs discussion, and because y'all've got those *points to eBooks* whereas some guy on Amazon insists on challenging my fangirl tendencies by asking a ridiculous price for Animorphs #51 (the only book I'm missing. AGH!)
I've noticed this with Amazon.com with the Ellimist Chronicles. Upwards of fifty bucks or so last time I've checked. But thanks to RAF, it's really a moot point now.
-
Hey there, Steph! I'm Ash, welcome to the forum! You should drag the Amazon seller person to your computer and rub the ebooks in their faces..once, then again..and maybe once more, just for dramatic effect ;D
-
Welcome Steph!
I'm Nina, but you can call me Nina.
:P
See you around the Forum :)
-
:huh: Emoticon happy? What's that? ::) :P
Welcome to FAR! Wait, strike that, reverse it. ;)
Welcome to RAF! I am Spartan-281, I also go by Parker, Park, Shaft, or just plain Spartan.
Don't be afraid of the smiley. :-\ The smiley is your friend. :D
Is it okay if I call you Gene? That extra "Ni" sends shivers down my spine. "Ni!" *shudders*
Wait, your sanity is leaving and is out in the open?!?! :o Seal, get your Sanity Sniper!!!!! "Sanities" can only be contained in green bottles, what have you unleashed upon the world? WHHHYYYYYYYYYY???????? :cry:
:jake: :rachel: :tobias: :cassie: :marco:
-
EGAD. There's a "Don't use smileys" option! *smites it* ...Umm... I'm not normally violent, I swear. O.O I have a whole list of references on this fact, and I've only had to bribe them a little. ;D
Ack! I'm sorry, I hadn't even thought of what troubles that could cause! You will be the first to ever call me Gene. XD
-
Is that pic of Hugh Laurie from David Letterman? the background reminds me of his show.
Did you ever see Inside the Actors Studio with Hugh Laurie? That was really cool!
-
I believe that's where it's from? XD I've had it saved for awhile.
:o No, I haven't seen it. Don't tell me I've been remiss in my fangirl duties?? I can't have that. :facepalm:
-
You haven't seen Inside the Actor's Studio with HL?! How DARE you. :'(
He even plays a song on the piano. It was really cool.
-
I know. I know. :( I'm ashamed of myself, really. Have you see A Bit of Fry and Laurie?
-
Stephen Fry rules!
But no, it is on my queue though. I just recently (5 years ago) became a huge fan of Hugh Laurie. I got the entire BlackAdder Series after I graduated from HS and discovered the genius that is Hugh Laurie.
I hadn't even heard of his name before, then I did a skit in Drama class my senior year. It was a scene from BlackAdder The Third. And from seeing one episode from that season, I bought the whole series a year later, and now watch anything I can find with him in it.

YES. He is amazing.
Also, I love Blackadder. I got into BoFL last year because one of my professors loved it. And then some random person posted a wonderful clip from it. I've been hooked ever since, and have been making other people become obsessed with it... so, in that vain. *waves the various seasons of Bit of Fry and Laurie under your nose*
Though, I must say... I love Balderick the best :<3: And no, I didn't just say that to have an excuse to use another smiley...
-
As Balderick was priceless, I gotta go with my man Edmond BlackAdder!!! BlackAdder the Third was by far the greatest season, I think.
-
Although I can't really blame you for loving Blackadder the Third... Blackadder Goes Forth is totally the best.
Random side note: There's this guy who works at a restaurant that I go to a lot, who could be Rowan Atkinson's double.
-
Nice. I liked "Goes Forth", but I loved Hugh Laurie, and that era too much. Also BlackAdder was, in my opinion, a higher position as the Prince Regent's butler.
Yes, he was a butler, but the PR was so dumb, Edmond could've made the master bedroom his own if he wanted to. >:D
-
Haha, yes. XD Never underestimate the... I thought he was a valet? (Thank you, you just gave me an excuse to rewatch it, to double-check. ;)) I've spent too much time reading books about that period. I very excitedly said to someone "Hugh plays Prinny!" and they looked at me like I was mad. I can't get away from it even when I'm talking about historical figures. Not that saying "George IV" ever clarifies anything for them. -_- Honestly.
-
I liked BA II, but just not as much.
I also like BA the Third because it was the only one where not everyone died. Edmond became the Prince Regeant!!!!
-
Ah, yeah. BA II was good. If nothing else, it made me love Miranda Richardson.
I think I've only seen one episode of the first season. "The Queen of Spain's Beard"? Thanks to that episode, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince took on a whole new level of amusement when I realized Slughorn and the Interpretor were the same actor. I may only watch those movies because of how many actors are in them that I love. (Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith (because she was Wendy in Hook and it was one of my favorites as a kid) Robbie Coltrane... Have you ever seen Alfresco? It has Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Robbie Coltrane & Emma Thompson all in it. It's fabulous. XD)
-
No, I'm not a big frequenter of British TV, but I'm collecting more and more in my queue. I'm currently watching Doctor Who Season 4, it should be arriving tomorrow!
I love Miranda Richardson! BA II was the first place I recognized her name, yeah.
Harry Potter has ALL the best British Actors
David Thewlis, Gary Oldman, Jim Broadbent, John Cleese, David Tennant, the irish actor Brendan Gleeson, I freak out every time I see another awesome actor join the Harry Potter cast!
-
I know. It's awful, I can't watch those anymore without getting excited about some actor or another. And then I see them in something else, and I'm just a mess. You should see me watch Sense & Sensibility. Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman and Imelda Staunton, all at once. Not to mention everyone else who's in that movie. It's like the casting directors made sure to have all the people who'd be sure to make me freak out.
I now watch movies just because they have great British actors in them. :P I watch A Fish Called Wanda because my friend said Stephen Fry was in it for all of ten seconds. She didn't tell me it had John Cleese AND Michael Palin in it. I've loved Monty Python ever since my parents told me about the wafer-thing mint from "The Meaning of Life." I didn't even watch anything for years. They just couldn't be not-brilliant if they had something like that. XD
-
Haha, A Fish Called Wanda is also in my queue!
I have 497 movies and TV shows in my queue. :P 0.o
I look up an actor and just start hitting "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add", "Add".
I have the next year planned out!
-
*snort* Nice.
Every time you say "queue" I keep thinking of this song my friend made me listen to, whose chorus goes "What took you so long? Was there a queue at the post office?" ...Outside of the chorus, I could only understand 10 words. Greatest song ever, clearly. :D
-
Hahaha, Yeah, I think of the Eddie Izzard bit about the Death Star Cantina.
Darth Vader orders a dish, then someone walks up and orders too. Darth Vader says, "No, I got here first." The other guy says, "You have to form a queue to get food."
You have to find it on You tube. It's hilarious.
Yes, I love me some Netflix. *dreamy eyes*
I have an Xbox 360, and I can watch Netflix Instantly Watchable DVDs through my Xbox 360!!!! :woot:
-
Seriously? O.O I may have to hijack my dad's xbox 360, stat. I can just imagine the conversation now.
Dad: Steph, what are you doing home mid-week?
Me: Not now, I'm watching (insert movie here)!
Dad: ...But...
Me: Not now! It's the good part!
Or maybe not. My parents know a lot of people in Psychology who they could probably call about their crazy daughter. Think of everything I could miss in the time it takes me to figure out how to convincingly fake sanity? I'd have to read up on it, for one thing.
-
Do you guys have Netflix? 'Cause you need to have a Netflix account for it to work. :-\
-
Yeah, I'd have to get one first. XD That was partly my brain going off on a tangent.
Well, technically.. my stepdad and mother have a netflix account. But no xbox 360.
Bah. There must be a better use for that thing than fueling my dad's apparent desire to play Ninja Stupid (Okay, that's not the game's real name... just I can't remember what is the real name right now. I really need a more scathing nickname for it, though.) Otherwise what use is it, really?
-
You mean Ninja Gaiden? You could call it "Ninny Gay-den"
Aw, what entertainment system(s) do you have?
-
That's it. :P We might still have the old xbox? I can't remember now.
My freshman year of college, I spent a lot of time playing my friends' nintendo 64 and super nintendo. XD I grew up playing Doom 2 and stuff on the computer. And I find it terrible that Doom 2 doesn't work on new computers. -_- I've got it for xbox, but half the time it gives me a headache.
...Yeah, I like old-school, if you couldn't tell. :P How can you beat MarioKart? I mean, really. (And you're playing against me, you don't have a prayer. ;))
-
Yeah, the Netflix won't work on the XBX. Sorry. ;D
-
Well, Steph.
Howdy! I'm new here, too! And I wish that I'd spent so much of my time on the internet as an early adolescent. *sigh* :'(
Also, that's a fantastic quote and reference. :)
Also, you're an amazing and wonderful person. :)

Hiya, Genies, I am Cloaky -- the local Realm Walker. . . . What? Seal, you made adeon eat a cat? Adeon isn't ALF -- or ARE you?
I not eat cat yeeeet...
I not ALF yeeeeet...
No Cats! (for eating, that is...)
-
THERE ARE MORE? *faints*resolves to find a reason to use them all at some point*
-
oh good luck finding them.
-
oh good luck finding them.
I must or my life will not be complete. ;_;
...You know, till the next thing comes up.
-
oh good luck finding them.
I must or my life will not be complete. ;_;
...You know, till the next thing comes up.
Hmm. I could tell you what a few of them are. Should I? Or should I not? Hmm.
Nah.
-
*sigh* I see how it is. Fine, then. :matrix:
The purpose of using that one at this moment? None. Only that I can't imagine when I'd use it otherwise. 8) Must find excuse to use all. Even if it takes me forever to find them.
See? Now I have a purpose! ^_^
-
:sylar4:
again, sooo many possibilities. Good luck. ;D
:andalitef2:

Gah, I've been forgetting this thread. *starts hitting in head with random jar*
*catches Sanity* YES....YES....FINAL LY!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHA!!! FINALLY, YOU ARE GONE! *chucks dramatically down incinerator chute*
Erm, sorry about that.
And yes, the smilies are very amusing.
-
Eh hem. *marks "Sanity" off list of possible halloween costumes* It was a bad idea anyway. -_- Most people wouldn't know what I was!
*peers down chute* You mind if I use this to get rid of a few unwanted things? Like... spinach?
-
Wouldn't that clog it?
. . . I've never eaten spinach. I suppose I'm lucky.
-
Very lucky. When I was young and foolish (like... 3) and still wanted to please my parents, I said I liked the stuff.
When I finally came to my senses, no one could understand the change. And now, 18 years later, I still get "But you used to love spinach!"
-
For me, it was "why are you always so serioius?" . . . hard to believe, eh?
-
Blargh, I hate it when parents do that. What are the odds of a kid liking spinach for 18 years anyway? Moving on.. How do you like RAF so far, Genies?
-
^_^ I love RAF. I don't know how much I needed another thing to distract me, but so far it's been very effective. :P Like right now, it's distracting me from a paper I'm supposed to write on John Donne.
-
Yeah, RAF is amazing for distractions.
Especially if you diversify and go to all different threads, join RPs, start a fanfic,etc.
I used to average 9 posts per day, now I average 27. I love RAF.
-
lol yeah, RAF is veeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr rrrrrrryyyyyyy distracting ^^'
