I used to read Animorphs when I was a kid--I was first drawn to the cover at a Book Fair in my elementary school, and while I never finished the series, I am currently trying to work my way back through them (please don't tell me how it ends!).
I also read part of the Everworld series, as I kind of got bored of the Animorphs (not because there's anything wrong with the series, I just really enjoy trying new things--variety IS the spice of life, you know :P) and I am rereading those as well (again, no spoilers, please!).

Bad news: spoilers abound here. 

If you don't want to be spoiled, take a break from RAF and read the books.  I imagine you've found the e-books.  If not, there's the link.  The suggested reading order (anyone, feel free to correct me) is the order of publication:

01 A01 The Invasion
02 A02 The Visitor
03 A03 The Encounter
04 A04 The Message
05 A05 The Predator
06 A06 The Capture
07 A07 The Stranger
08 M1 The Andalite's Gift

09 A08 The Alien
10 A09 The Secret
11 A10 The Android
12 A11 The Forgotten
13 A12 The Reaction
14 A13 The Change
15 C1 The Andalite Chronicles

16 A14 The Unknown
17 A15 The Escape
18 A16 The Warning
19 A17 The Underground
20 A18 The Decision
21 M2 In the Time of Dinosaurs
22 A19 The Departure

23 A20 The Discovery
24 A21 The Threat
25 A22 The Solution
26 C2 The Hork-Bajir Chronicles
27 A23 The Pretender
28 A24 The Suspicion
29 A25 The Extreme
30 A26 The Attack

31 A27 The Exposed
32 A28 The Experiment
33 A29 The Sickness
34 M3 Elfangor's Secret
35 A30 The Reunion
36 A31 The Conspiracy
37 A32 The Separation
38 A33 The Illusion

39 A34 The Prophecy
40 A35 The Proposal
41 C3 Visser
42 A36 The Mutation
43 A37 The Weakness
44 A38 The Arrival
45 A39 The Hidden
46 A40 The Other

47 M4 Back to Before
48 A41 The Familiar
49 A42 The Journey
50 A43 The Test
51 A44 The Unexpected
52 A45 The Revelation
53 A46 The Deception
54 A47 The Resistance

55 C4 Ellimist Chronicles
56 A48 The Return
57 A49 The Diversion
58 A50 The Ultimate
59 A51 The Absolute
60 A52 The Sacrifice
61 A53 The Answer
62 A54 The Beginning

Once you read The Beginning, you'll want to talk about it.

The good news: we don't mind spoilers here.  We'll put on some chamomile tea and talk until you feel better.

OK, personal introduction.

*notices everyone has taken cover*

Don't worry, this'll be the short version. 

My name is Wildweathel, and I've been a RAFian for about a week.  I'm a musician, actor, mathematician, classical liberal, and orthodox Roman Catholic.  I love my country and my state, but wish the first would stop bullying everyone else and the second would stop playing with socialism.  I live on the Maine cost--one of the most beautiful places on God's great Earth--year-round.  I read xkcd.  I've faced down and vanquished depression.  I'm usually shy, but when I introduced myself to RAF, I couldn't stop until I had gone over 2600 words (forcing Cloakedfigure to make a quick dodge).   Oops ::)   That is all for now.

Oh, and welcome to RAF!  There are two common threads that bind most of us here: Animorphs and insanity.  Hope you like 'em.  ;)

hahaha, gosh i miss your intros cloaky.

I've missed writing them. ;)  But that's what you get when Verizon decides to go all "big brother" all over you.

You're a wood rat (or "rat of wood"?), Cloak. Like me. But I can't say more ^^'

I knew that -- though only because of Wikipedia.  I don't tend to retain that stuff.  Memory sucks, big time.

Well i'm not sure anymore. I think I should have written "rafian enemy" if I wanted to make sense...

But yep, anyway, is it a rethorical question? What does that mean ?

Yeeah a steel cage match ^^
I'm so small i could slip out  :P

Yes, it's a rhetorical question.  Of course, the unstated answer is open to all sorts of wild interpretation.  Like Cloaky's cage match.  Or the Animaniac's "Wheel of Morality" gag. (I'll put a transcript in Bored if anyone's interested.  Just PM me.)

"RAFian enemy" is good English, but THIS IS RAF.  Merely good English cannot contain the madness.

so, lets see... RAFrival?... RAFnemesis?... RAFenemy?... maybe,...

I've got it! 

Tocade and I share a special bond of RAFemnity RAFenmity.  Now updating signature.  [Oops.]

Anyway, back to topic:

Sorry, Megan.  How goes the read-through?

You may have intended that, but guess what.  It was interpreted slightly differently...
