Well, not too new. I signed up a while back. But i've decided to begin posting! Anyway my name is Jerrod. I like movies, videogames, and making videos online. I used to love books and read Animorphs/Everworld/Goosebumps and would like to start the habit up again sometime. I read all the Harry Potter novels, and those were amazing. Not interested in Twilight, but the movie was okay, I guess. Other then that i've been pretty dormant with books. Sad...
Anyway the economy has been hurting me, as I don't have a job and haven't had one since the end of January. For a 26 year old male, that is a very bad thing. So I will keep this site in mind for comfort while I continue searching. :P
-
Hiya, Anidude. I am the one known as Cloaky.
I hope you enjoy your stay here.
-
Welcome to RAF! I'm Gaz, nice to meet you!
Check out the RAFchat Meet & Greet thread in the main Social board. ;D
-
Hey Jerrod, I'm Tara, welcome to RAF! If you like RPGs you can also check out some pretty fun stuff going on at the Animorphs and General RPG boards. I'm 25 and on medical leave from work, and my boyfriend is 26 and makes minimum wage three days a week so he can pursue an unpaid internship (doing what he really likes, which is good), so we hear ya on the economic crunch. Good luck with your job search!
-
Hey Jerrod! Welcome to RAF. I'm DinosaurNothlit, but I usually go by Dino, Nothlit, or DN.
I'd say that I hope you like it here, but from what I've seen, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that you will. You seem to be getting on quite well already.
I hope your job-hunting goes well!
-

http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3160.0.html is a good thread if you're not sure on some of the SMF context.

Welcome, Jerrod! My name's Jess, and that's what everyone calls me despite the forum name. :P
I'm 24 and a lucky bastard who is gainfully employed with a job she loves and is incredibly thankful for (I teach high school special education), however, I feel your pain through my family, none of whom are employed. :/ Good luck with the job searching, and welcome to RAF!
-

-
What's up, dude???
I'm Adeon...
Sorry about the job thing... I know how you feel... It's rough nowadays...
The people here are really nice, and the seals are nicer! :)
Glad you decided to start posting! I hope it continues! :D
-
Aw, shucks, adeon.
Hi! I'm Horsefan, but you can call me Horse, Horsie, or Seal. I am a seal. Don't ask.
Anyway, welcome to RAF, Anidude! It's great to see lurkers here start posting. We're (so unfortunately) losing members, so it's great to see some new ones!
Once again, welcome!
-
Welcome to posting on RAF!!
I'm Spartan-281, AKA: Spartan, Parker, Park, Brandon, Shaft
The last is a rarely used nickname I've had since high school.
Sorry about the job situation, I couldn't hold a job for more than 3 months a couple years ago. But I have a pretty sweet set up now. Although my job duties keep expanding and expanding. :explode:
This site is a great escape, if you're looking for great conversation and like-minded friends.
Hope you enjoy it here!

*Standing in front of Jerrod* 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. Jerrod can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Jerrod is now alone in the hallway*
-
Yes! definitely check out http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html. The thread is dying, and we need your help.
-
Thanks for the tour, Dameg. I wasn't really hungry, so i'm not too bummed on not being invited to the meal. There is more here then I thought. I do have all the Everworld books, so I might be able to help. The audiobook project sounds like fun. I like acting in general and do it a lot on YT. Maybe the audiobook project will be in the cards for me sometime.
-
Sweet, we also have a great RP section, in your explanation of your H-B story, it sounded like you put a lot of thought into it. If you enjoy RPing, we have two different sections:
http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,6.0.html
There is the popular http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2089.0.html where you can just be your character's self and hang out and "talk" to other characters. Though being a bar, sometimes there are scuffles, but big battles are very rare. One is winding down right now.
And a number of Animorphs based RPs
Then there's http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,23.0.html
Here are any other RPs:
I'm currently running a HALO RP, so if you like HALO (I realize not everyone does), read the rules, PM me your guy, and we'll get you started: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3888.285.html
We have a fun http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2223.2370.html RP where you're yourself(ish) and we sometimes have great adventures, right now we're rescuing Moderators that were transported to different universes.
If you enjoy games like Civilization, there's a great story-based RP where you build an entire world and race: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3641.0.html. Definitely read the intro, and post your interest here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3900.0.html
There are a bunch of other fun RPs that you could get into should you like RPing.
-
Oh really? We're actually looking for somebody who have the Everworld books, 'coz we have problems with the ebooks: many missing parts and unreadable words. So I'd be really thankful if you could come and help with them. *_*
And don't worry for the meal, unless you like the Kandrona rays.
Parker, why don't you present the RP threads to every new member? 0.o
-
Dameg, I think Anidude was the first, and that this'll become Parker's schtick now. . . .
-
Yep. ;D
I did it today because of his entry in the What's your Spieces thread.
[spoiler=Anidude's post]
Well, I am a Hork Bajir. I was once a Hork Bajir controller, but not anymore, unfortunately. :( Well, it's actually a very interesting story. One day I was just hanging out, collecting some tree bark, enjoying the weather, when my friend James took me to a Yeerk pool. Of course he told me he was taking me to meet a lady Hork Bajir who had a bit of a crush on me. But by the time I knew something was wrong, my head was already being shoved into the pool and a yucky Yeerk swam into my brain. The Yeerk and I quickly became friends though, because as he was digging into my mind he saw that we actually had a lot in common. For instance, we both love baseball! So we decided to make a deal. I would let him stay inside my head as long as I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, but not give up the secret of the Yeerk invasion in the process. Was that a bad idea? Well, he was pretty cool, and, I mean, the guy was just a helpless little Yeerk after all. And he was my friend!!! So I never told anyone. Needless to say, I pretended to be controlled from then on out, always going to the Yeerk pool every 3 days, and this all lasted for a good while until old age kicked in for the Yeerk. He wanted to die at peace in a lake, so I bent down in front of it, let him slide into the lake, and it was the last I ever saw of him.
I still miss him, and I still find myself crying a lot when I think about him. That little slimy Yeerk turned out to be my best friend in all the world. So, please, cut the Yeerks some slack. If you discriminate against them, just remember, they're not all bad!
[/spoiler]
I thought that he might like to join an RP, so I posted some of the cool ones that I knew of.

Spartan 281 - I'm not really sure if I'd be a really good RPer or not. I've never actually done that, to be frank. I do love coming up with stories though, which isn't too totally different. I'll check that out and see if it's something I'd like to participate in. Thanks for the recommendation!
Dameg - I have a scanner, but i'm not sure where it's at at the moment. Used it when I had a PC desktop, but now i'm on a Mac laptop. I can probably find it with a little searching though. Where should I go to find out full details on what is needed?
-
It just takes practice, man. When I first started, I broke every rule possible. ;D You just have to read others' posts and emulate their writing styles. I would suggest reading http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3641.0.html if you want some tips on story telling. Finding an RP that has a good example of battle RP is difficult, you can check out http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1984.210.html there's a good example of battling and OOC (Out Of Character) posts.

Re-edit: I edited my welcome message (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4057.msg304215.html#msg304215 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4057.msg304215.html#msg304215)) and added some other projects.
