Hello everyone, just your friendly neighborhood Couch checking in. I'm twenty two in college and a long time Animorphs fan in isolation. This was the that really got me into reading. It picked me up and just never let go. I picked up the first book merely on a whim and a little luck out of the maybe 5 that had been released at the time. At the time I had no idea what I was getting other than the cool picture of a kid turning into a lizard on the front. That was more than enough for my nine year old self. Boy was I in for a wild ride. That first book really blew my mind, and one heck of a step up from the Boxcar Children books I had been reading just prior. To this day I don't know how I managed to pick up book #1 from the rest without even knowing that it was a series yet. From the time I finished that fateful first read though, I was hopelessly hooked until the final book and the long silence since. I still regret giving my book collection away to the local library. I haven't even been back since to know if they even got on the shelves or not. With the E-books you guys have here though I finally have a chance to re-read them. I did pick up Remnants after Animorphs finished but I never felt they were as good. Intriguing yes, but nowhere near as endearing. Never did get into Everworld though.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm a bit of a lurker by nature, but I hope to get into the swing of things around here. Bit of an RPer to so I'll definitely be checking that that out soon enough. Hope to see you all around.

Hi, Couch! Nice name, by the way.
I'm currently SuperDino, but until very recently I was known as DinosaurNothlit, so I typically go by Dino, DN, or Nothlit. You can try calling me SD, but I can't guarantee I'll actually respond.
Anyway, welcome to RAF! I saw you lurking last night, and so I'm glad you came out of hiding.

Welcome to RAF!!!
I'm Spartan 281. AKA Spartan, Parker, Park, Brandon, Shaft.
We have tons of stuff to do! Dameg should be by later to share a bunch, but one section we have is Role Playing. Since 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.
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 since you like RPing.

*swirls his cloak, appears in the room, looks down and notices he's standing in a suspicious shadow.*
Huh?
*Looks up, and sees a sixteen-ton weight above his head.*
Ack!
*Dives outta the way.*

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have know idea what this 'seal' is but I'll make sure to avoid it. I'm ashamed to say it but I've actually been lurking for a lot longer than you may think. Been poking my nose in and out since at least before the last move... Anyway glad to be here.
Also Reptar, you don't know how much your avatar makes me want to start singing the tunes from Reptar on Ice. I never could get it out of my head.

There is no way to avoid the seal. Don't fight her either. It's not pretty.

Pfff, don't listen to them, Seal (Horsefan1023) is awesome!
We're glad you came out of lurking :)
-
