Title: Hello Everybody!
Post by: Hawkgirl on October 21, 2010, 09:38:26 PM
I just thought I should introduce myself on here.  I am an original Animorphs fan who became obsessed after reading the first book when it first came out.  I am 19 years old and still love these books.  I own every book and have reread them numerous times because they are just so damn AWESOME!

I am a theatre major at Temple University and really want to get involved in some ANimorphs related projects because I want to help keep this series alive!  Nobody I've met at Temple has read the books which highly depresses me because they have really missed out.  If there are any Animorphs fans in the Philly area, let me know because it would be nice to talk with people who love the books as much as me.

I recently found out about this forum and decided to check it out and I must say it is quite amazing!  I hope to return here frequently and hope that you all will welcome me :)

That's all for now!

Hi Hawkgirl! I'm Marie, welcome to RAF! I'm so glad you stumbled across our forum. It's definitely active, and we anticipate it will continue to grow as the Animorphs books are re-released next year.

Theater major, huh? That's awesome!! You're not the only theater major on the forum; maybe you'll find some folks for your project here. ;)

In my one college class (which is a completely stupid class known as Creativity), we had to make a collage that defined us.  I searched "Animorphs" on google to find pictures for my collage and found Hirac Delest.  From there, I found out about RAF and became really excited that there were other people who loved these books too!  So I joined and really look forward to meeting everyone in this community!

Hells yeah I know about the re-release!  I'm so flipping excited for the re-release!  Lately, I've been searching bookstores for Animorphs books and have been very depressed to find that bookstores don't sell them anymore.  I'm hoping the re-release will change that!

ebay works, but it might just be worth waiting until the new ones (though they will be a dollar more).

maybe one day our older books will be collector items. :D

Post by: Hawkgirl on October 22, 2010, 05:07:07 PM
I own all of the books.  I just wanted to relive my childhood excitement of going into the bookstore and freaking out over the latest Animorphs book and was disappointed to see that bookstores don't sell them anymore.

It would be awesome if the originals became collectors items!  But I would never sell them...EVER!

i'd only sell some of my duplicates.
if one of the books got unreasonably damaged, i sometimes would buy a replacement. (book 3 for example)

Wow!  There are so many projects to get involved in!  I love voice acting so if anyone needs a voice actor for anything, please contact me!
Title: Re: Hello Everybody!
Post by: Dameg on October 24, 2010, 01:23:15 PM
A few projects need voice actors... I'm not sure for the Audiobooks project, I don't know how it works, really ^^' But this projects need voice actors:
- http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=4157.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=4157.0)
- http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5132.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5132.0)
Ask there if you can be involved. I'm sure at least one of them need more people.

Oh, and I hope you'll be in the One RAFian One Volume project! ;)

Aloha, hawkgirl. I'm Aluminator, or Scott. I've seen you posting around the forum already, but it's good to officially welcome you. I'm stoked just to have you on the site; it's always refreshing to meet enthusiastic Animorphs fans :)

Anyway, you seem to be doing pretty well with this already, but my standard recommendation to new members is to hang out and explore the forum for a while, since you're bound to find a lot of stuff to interest you.

Welcome to RAF  :D
