Title: oh my god the fandom still lives
Post by: Keileon on February 26, 2013, 01:30:10 PM: Hey! The name's Keileon, and I found this place while searching for a way to read Elfangor's Secret and Back to Before without having to buy them. XD I never expected to find an ACTUAL living forum for the fandom- I mean, if the series is so old that the library can't buy the books, I thought the fandom would have died out. Can't tell you how amazed and glad I am to find that it's still hanging on somewhere on the internet!

[/rambling]

... so yeah. Hope to stay here for a while~

Post by: DinosaurNothlit on February 26, 2013, 01:48:13 PM: It's true, some fandoms are just far too awesome to die. Animorphs is so timeless (dated culture references and all) because it grew up with us. Reading it as a kid, and you're all 'oh, kids turn into animals and fight aliens, neat!' but then you read it again as an adult and catch all the deeper meanings you missed before. So, really, it makes some sense that we've all stuck around.

But anyway, welcome! I'm DinosaurNothlit, more succinctly known as DN or Dino. I'm glad you like the forum! We look forward to getting to know you.

Anyway. Hi! Welcome to RAF! I'm Steph. Nice to meet you!

Oops!

Well, uh, welcome Keileon (which for some reason makes me think of Kecleon, a Pokemon, sorry). I am known as Cloak, resident Realm Walker.

Stick around, you'll find yourself a nice niche. *shakes with revulsion, realizing how much that sounds like Mary Hightower.*

;)

Post by: Keileon on February 26, 2013, 05:35:36 PM: Dino- I know, right? The series is pretty powerful once you get past all the hilarity that is anytime Marco tries to drive. :P

Cloak- One of my friends actually calls me Kecleon for that very reason.

Happy? :P

Just forgot to do it, that's all.

Also what is this Insanity Meter?
Title: Re: oh my god the fandom still lives
Post by: DinosaurNothlit on February 27, 2013, 03:18:30 AM: It's actually an activity meter. Alternatively, the more you post, the more insane you become!

Get to know Steph, if you need proof of the correlation.
Title: Re: oh my god the fandom still lives
Post by: Keileon on February 27, 2013, 05:54:24 PM: I'm already insane. How is that going to work?
Title: Re: oh my god the fandom still lives
Post by: .: Asmo on February 27, 2013, 06:39:48 PM: Only by increasing your meter then.

Post by: wildweathel on February 28, 2013, 01:52:41 AM: Heh. Good to see the place is still crazy and lur-ehm inviting new folks.

I've leveled up my critical reading skills (and writing skills) since I last read, so maybe another one is in order.

Post by: Ash on February 28, 2013, 05:46:40 PM: Already insane? Great, no brain-washing required for you then.

Welcome to the forum :) See you around the boards!
