So glad to be here
« on: July 23, 2011, 09:47:04 PM »
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy that I found this forum.  When I was a kid I adored the Animorphs books, and recently my dad went on eBay and bought me the whole series!  I'm 26 now, but I still re-read the Animorphs books all the time.  I'm still majorly connected to these characters and the story, and I'm glad I've found a place where I can talk about them with likeminded folk!

=D Welcome to RAF! We are glad you have come! *hands the newcomer a Nitro Cookie*
^^ Soon, you will be bombarded by either Bear or Rad, the two of them telling you all the different things that may be done here (Seeing as I don't know half of them. =P )

I'm somewhat of a noob on here too, but I already love the community. ^^ Everyone's nice, helpful, and creative.

If you roleplay, here's hoping to see you on the RP side of the forum! =3

<Hey, welcome to RAF!  It sounds like you'll fit in great.  A lot of us here feel just as connected to the books now as when we were kids.  I'm DinosaurNothlit, by the way, but most people call me DN or Dino.  Derpy Hooves is a temporary name.  I hope.>

Suddenly, a large dark-brown bear enters the room. He appears gentle, and is curious about the newcomer. <Hello! I am Bear. Are you new here? Let me show you around!>

<This is the 'RAF Social' Board. We really get to know each other here. You've already introduced yourself, and you can also have your own Member Profile here, too!> The Bear lumbers back through the doorway, leading Sincerity into a hallway. There are many, many doors here.

<This door is the way to the 'RAF Projects' Board. Lots of RAFians work together on all kinds of cool stuff, like producing Animorphs audio-books and  "RAF: The Animated Series"! It's a really good show....> Bear moves over to another large door.

<Here is the 'Bored Board'. We play games and love to waste our time here! It's a lot of crazy fun. You should join us here!> Bear continues down the hall, speaking as he goes.

<These three doors are for the Animorphs Section. We discuss the books, TV show, and anything about the series in the 'Animorphs Forum'. The 'Animorphs Role Playing' Board is exciting! RAF always has active RPG's, and lots of cool players. I hope you like to Role-play as much as I do....> Bear's short tail wagged. <And we have some talented writers who share their 'Animorphs Fan Fiction & Art' in here. I like that room.> Across the hall, there is another set of three doors, side by side.

<That is the 'General Board'. We can talk about anything there... the weather, funny quotes, or anything you like! We also play all kinds of non-Animorphs RPG's in there, and we have way more neat stories and artwork in that last door.>

<Oh yeah! And there's the 'Media Area', where we talk about movies, TV, the news.... And we talk about 'Other Books' in that room!>

Bear sits on his haunches and looks at Sincerity. <It's a big place, but it's so much fun here! We're glad that you came. Tell us a few things about yourself here, and what species you are here.>

Bear begins to walk farther down the hallway, which opens into a thick green forest. He looks over his shoulder and says, <You'll see me around. Welcome to RAF!>


Howdy! I'm Bear, in case you didn't guess. :P Welcome to RAF, it's a pretty durn great place. This bunch of crazies is how I get my social-deficiency fix. I can safely say that they're my best friends (and no, that isn't lame that I my best friends are on line... spend enough time here, and you'll get it too!). Anything else you're interested in? *hopeful look* Like... Heroes, by chance?.... We talk about all kinds of other stuffs too. And yeah, we're really cool in the Role-playing Department. 8) Hope to see you around!

Okay, yes, I'm a week late here, but at least I am here. Hey, Sincerity! I'm Aluminator, or Scott.

My best advice here would be to just spend some time hanging out. You'll find plenty to talk about- and plenty of amazing and wonderful people to talk to. We're all crazy enough to still be in love with Animorphs so many years later, but the forum here gets a lot of extra mileage from non-Animorphs stuff as well ^_^

Welcome to RAF!

wHELLcome, Sincy!
I'm Vis... I'm Dameg, another RAFian. Come with me, please, I have something to show you. It's here, after this door *Open a heavy door* We call them the RAFprojects. *Lead Sincy to a long and dark hallway, with many doors, some in the dark, some with light coming from the other side. Arrive near the first door* Here at your left...

- RAFipedia: http://rafipedia.wetpaint.com/, an encyclopedia headed up by Estelore, our star (a true star, who make light and burn in space... but she has a body to come on Earth);

Next it's...

- the Audiobooks project: The Animorphs Audiobook Project, a full-cast audio version of Animorphs who need more "actors" and voices, headed by Kit Cloudkicker (Jess), MrGuy, Morfowt, and Wildweathel;

Facing it...

- the Graphic Novel project: Animorphs:The Graphic Novel, a Webcomic headed by Gafrash.

You also have...

- the Smiley project: smiley suggestions/projects, we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...);

here and facing it is...

- the Translation project: Translations of Applegate's books, a recently started project/mutual support group for translations into other languages; currently only in French (Tocade, Anidragon and myself), Chinese (Morfowt), Indonesian (Nat), Swedish (Mira and Zana), Italian (Alan Fangor), and Esperanto (Wildweathel); we translate only the volumes never edited in our countries/languages, to make the ebooks;

Next door is for the special project:

- RAF The Animated Series: RAF: The Animated Series: the adventures of the RAFians;

At the end it's for the little projects:

- the RAFparody Animation Project: RAFparody Animation Project;

- the Project Planet: Project Planet to make the planets we hear about in Animorphs;

- the paper-RPG project: a role-playing game (on table, with paper, pen and dices...) about the World of Animorphs; I head this project, and it'll be write in French at the beginning, but we need help to find, class and write everything we know about the species, the planets, the powers we see in Animorphs, fix them, see what we keep and what we can't keep (because of the KASU, not clear, exception for the main characters/books, etc.), complete the knowledges about species/planets we know and even create new species/planets...; this project will be on my own website, so if you wanna join, ask me the link ^^;

- the RPG project: Animorphs: the RPG to make a video game about Animorphs, with RPGmaker;

- the Command-line game project: Animorphs Command-line game for another kind of video game about Animorphs;

- the Animorph's Body Count: The Animorph's Body Count where we count all the people killed by the Animorphs;

- the RAFkaraoke: Animorphs the Musical (RAFkaraoke) and RAFize Songs, where we make songs (and sing them?)...

- the One RAFian On Volume project: One RAFian, one volume of Animorphs where everybody take a picture of him/herself with a volume of Animorphs... <= We need a lot of RAFians to participate! You only need a volume of Animorphs (rented if you don't have any) & a camera/webcam

and some other projects who come and go. Please check the list: List of RAFprojects

*Standing in front of Sincy* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: What is your species? 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller. ... and if you want, you can add your age too: Age... and say where do you live here: RAF World Map so Marie can add you on the RAFworld Map!
We also opened a RAF school to teach to each others our languages and other stuffs.

Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Sincy can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Sincy is now alone in the hallway*
