I don't know if I'm supposed to write a new topic on this particular subject-- I feel as though it is a waste of space, but here I go:
I think I'm pretty pristine here. I've visited here, reading the occasional article that pops up in other places that I follow, and downloaded a book here and there. As said in my profile I was apart of another forum, which I actually kept up for about a year (impressive if you knew me!) RPGs and Forums are hard for me to keep up with I suppose because I'm not on the 'net for hours and hours at a time especially when the school semester kicks back in, but we'll see here. But this place seems pretty awesome, and it seems like there's a lot to do. It's also nice to bounce ideas off of.
Recently I've been getting back into fanfiction for the 'base (said on my profile as well) I'll prolly post when I update it on the forum, but I feel bad not introducing myself or contributing to anything else. Animorphs I get into in waves. Got into it in elementary school (In the Time of the Dinosaurs was actually my first one, and also got me into reading, and perhaps later on into writing). Stayed with it until it finished, which was around the middle of middle school, collected what I didn't have until I moved on to HS (still missing two of them actually). Got back into it at the end of HS because of some particularly overwhelming drama, and needed something junk foody (hey that stuff is good for the soul!) And got super excited when I heard the rumor of the second publishing these passed few months (damn, I have to collect those copies too?! Aaaaand get the ones I don't have?!) It actually fights with the Sailor Moon obsession I have too, which I got into that in Middle School. There could be worse fanbases. Hee.
My other favorite scifi reads, as of recent are the Alex Benedict series by Jack McDevitt, an amazing scifi mystery read! And the Pendragon Series, my favorite out of all the ones I've read is the Lost City of Faar. Hobey Ho!

Watch out! *Throws atom to floor and thermonuclear cruise missile shrieks over head to detonate in someplace close by*
Ha ha! That does happen from time to time 'rond here, if you consider 'time to time' as every third second *Another one blazes by to obliderate an all-seeing eye*
Anyway, pelase enjoy yourself, make sure to avoid gettign too clsoe to Estelore on account you'll most likely be burnt to a shadow outline, and make sure not to miss the possible RAFpublic execution of Tyler!
Enjoy yourself, and don't forget to duck! *Ducks*

Hi Todd, welcome to RAF. We're glad to have you. :)
-
Welcome! I'm Steph. :D Nice to meet ya.
-
Hey! I'm Aluminator, or Scott. Welcome to our little corner of the internet. I'll basically agree with Marie here- this place is amazing. There are lots of really cool people, and tons to do and talk about. Explore- you're bound to find tons to interest you. It sounds like you'll fit in here quite well ^_^
Glad to have you here!
-
Wow! I got lots of replies! That's so weird... Dude, that's awesome!
Sanity? I had sanity? So If I don't have any, do I leave anything else by the door? A foot, an ear, an eyeball? (not mine of course!)
Ahhh! I really like the tour, that's really useful, I think I shall bookmark this so that I can find everything! I didn't realize that it had more than just the forum, the terrible-train-wreck-syndrome-we-have-to-watch-it animorphs tv show, and the books!
The SM picture totally makes the yeerk pool feel so much more sparkly and happy... lmao
The books I'm missing is the one where Marco turns into a duck and the one where Cassie turns into an owl. They're the waaaaay later ones.
Erm, I haven't really decided what species I am yet. Somebody posted that somewhere!
Thanks everybody! ^___^
-
Cassie-Owl is 50, and Marco-Duck is 52 if I recall correctly.
But then, I've been wrong before. ;)
-
oh! It's 50 and 51! 52 is the one with Ax as a raccoon.
-
Ah, thanks! Savvy.
I remember 53 as the one with the raccoon, but I know that's wrong, because the series ends on 54, so 53 has to be the anaconda.
:P
-
Yeah 53 is the one with the Anaconda-- remember Arbron? I really liked Arbron and wished that KA had gone through and written the Taxxon Chronicles... *sigh*
Dude I just saw a Hugh Laurie avi! I love the english-comedic-cranky-doctor-playing actor!
-
:P Somehow I get the feeling we'll get on very well then!
-
Welcome to RAF! I'm Cori, and I look forward to seeing your posts!
-
Stephquiem: lmao. Anyone who loves Hugh Laurie is a friend of mine.
Thanks Cori! ^_^
