I still remember getting my first animorph book back in 1996 When I was about..10 . It was The Invasion and it opened up my eyes to a world where things are not they seem and not even those closest to you can be trusted. Being the hungry for books kid I was I ate it up and had to get the second book. I begged my mom to buy me the second and third books. It was amazing. I had never felt such devotion and loyalty to any thing like this before. I become enthralled with Tobias and his struggle. I felt horrible for Jake and his burden of command. I just kept waiting for Rachel to snap and lose her humanity. Back then I was the only kid I knew who read this books and I remember it pretty much killing to have no one to talk too about them. I quietly kept it to myself and read online fanfiction wishing for a place like this.
Well now here I am. Almost 22 and I have found such a place. Better late then never, eh? I am currently missing only a few key books. Most notably numbers 48, 49, 50 and 51. I would kill to find these in the wild. For some reason I refuse to revert to ebay. I want to find them like I found every other one I had. Either I carried them over from my childhood or collected them later on in life. I am sure one day I will find them.
I am currently re-reading the series and am now on number 11. It makes me smile to see those humble starts again for our heroes. They have much to acomplish in the books to come.
Sorry for talking everyones ear off! I hope I can meet some great people on here who are like-minded and kind. :). Can't wait to talk to you all! Thanks for this great site.

You are most certainly welcome. :)
Oh, and don't be afraid to ask questions here. I know a lot of people on forums get grouchy about that, but we don't.

Road sign. Life as you know it, ends.

Not everyone here is insane. But welcome, newcomer, and make yourself comfortable on the plush sofas.
*Fails to realize his cloak is on fire.*

Welcome Tobias ^_^
If you look for the books you missed, there isn't only Ebay. For example, you can try Abebooks...

No, everyone here is either insane or dead. *moves hand toward gun*

-

-
haha morfowt, you're so right.

-
We have to prepare him here for the world of RAF.
-
Welcome!
Rafians are 'special' people...
-
You know, I honestly don't get why everyone's always talking aboot how insane RAF is...we all seem quite normal to me.???
-
Normal to you, that is. ;) Don't forget, you're one of us. In real life, I'm considered a freak by most people. :P
-
Yes, I've talked to my friends outside of RAF about RAF. They think we're crazy.
-
Aliens probably think we're crazy ::)
-
Yes, I do. ;)
-
Let me take a moment to add my own welcome...
*pauses to take a moment to find the right words*
Hello. ;D
-
Touquie > Same here ^_^'

Normal to you, that is. ;) Don't forget, you're one of us. In real life, I'm considered a freak by most people. :P
Actually, I'd like to think I'm somewhat of a 'loner' 'round these parts. Like, I wouldn't say I'm a "RAFian," like you guys; I'm my own breed. Helps with my mystique you know. ;)
-
Tyler, I am saying this entirely for YOUR benefit. ;)
You. Are. A. RAFian.
In fact, you are just about as RAFian as it gets. For pity's sake, you are in our PANTHEON!!
Figure it out, dearie. :)
Also, if you were being sarcastic, just disregard all that. ::)
-
I don't know what a pantheon is, but I am NOT a RAFian. I am Tyler.
-
*shrug*
There's just no arguing with this guy. Of course, argument implies the need to win, when it is a very reasonable assumption that I've always been right, and thus cannot lose.
By the by, a pantheon is a group of deities (gods).
-
Damn straight.
-
Hey Tobias, welcome to RAF ^^
We don't bite.......hard.
-
We don't bite if you be a good boy. If we don't like you, well, here's the last guy who made us mad. :sylar:
