Hi Everyone!

I've written some animorphs fanfictions which I want to share with others on fanfiction.net. The thing is, all books I have read is in Swedish. (I have tried to find one in English but without any success.) And I think you all understand what I mean when I tell you, there is a lot of words that I can't translate the normal way. I need help.

Here is “some” of the words I want to know. I am quite sure I'll find more soon.

1.   What do they call it when they “take” the DNA from animals?
2.   What is the name of the organization Tom is a member of?
3.   What is the name of Erek's “race” (except android)
4.   What is Tom's nickname on Jake?
5.   What's the name of this “alien” in book#7, Jake's dog and Tobias's cat?
6.   What's the name for what Tobias and Cassie are? (Tobias can't morph and Cassie have a special talent)
7.   What's the name of Visser3’s space ship and the other smaller space ships he have?
8.   What's the name from the space where you can travel faster then the light?
9.   I'm quite sure of the names of most of the aliens, but will you write down the names of the most common ones. If I'm totally wrong in my theories I'll ask one more time.

That's all for this time. I'll be very happy for any help!

1: Acquire
2: The Sharing
3: Chee
4: I THINK it's Midget, but someone might correct me.
5: I think you mean the Ellimist, Jake's dog is Homer and Tobias's cat is Dude
6: Tobias is a Nothlit and Cassie is an estreen
7: Visser 3's ship is the Blade Ship, the smaller ones are Bug Fighters
8: Z-Space
9: Andalites, Hork-Bajir (the bladed shock troops), Yeerks, Helmacron (the pint size idiots that try to take over the world) Howlers (destroyed Erek's race's creators) Pemalites (Erek's race's creators) Leeran (telepathic frogs) Taxxons. (that's off the top of my head)

Mira, if you aren't sure, sometimes, you can find the answer in the ebooks or on the English Wikipedia pages about Animorphs. It's quite complete. I also saw a dictionary of the different alien words.
Do you write your fanfictions in English?

Dameg. Are you trying to tell me there is some dictionary for words that doesn't exist, from English to a language spoken by only 9 million people in the world? Sure! I can pretend to believe you if you want to. Besides, only 16 animorphs books (+ megamorphs 1 and 4) are translated into Swedish. Then they gave up. So I've actually no idea how the story ends. That's what I wrote about in one of this two fanfics, only to get an end at all. I've only found one more animorphs fan in Sweden. We tackle the problem of "lack of friends" role playing on hotmail, and as we're only two, both of us is everyone. (Much funnier then it sounds actually)

You mentioned some ebooks. Where can I find them? Actually I found a very important word that I forgot to ask for yesterday. But this is really a better idea then asking every time. And then I would like to know the real ending, if there is one yet.

And it's first now I try to translate my fanficitons. I used to write just for fun, but some month ago one of my friends accidentally read one about Harry Potter, over 20 pages, and forced me to send it in for a competition, which I actually won. So finally I guess I had to recognize that I wrote better then I thought.  :-[

If you go to the main page, that has the big RAF letters on a blue background, there are links to ebooks right here on the site. All the animorphs books are here, and can be read. Even an "ending" of sorts. I'd actually be interested in what you think of the ending, if you've never read it before.

Presumably I think quite the same as you thought when you read it the first time. (Or do you mean the ending I did myself?) By the way thanks for your help :D I'll check it out!

No, I meant the official ending writting by Applegate. One day I may do a fan rewrite of the ending too. I'll put it in the same folder in my computer as the other books I put in there, but liekely will still keep the original.

Excuse-me but I don't understand... or maybe you didn't understand me.
I talked about this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animorphs
and this pages (dictionary and species): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_species_(Animorphs)

You seem quite new on RAF, so maybe you didn't hear about it yet, but we're trying to complete the translations: we translate the books never edited in our countries from English to our own language (or our second language). If you want to try, let us know ^^ Our "translators team" is in the "Other books" forum.

Yes I'm quite new here, only some days old. But that sounds great I want to try... I hope I'm good enough at English.

Uhhh... You didn't read the thread, did you? Those questions already got answered. Check the date this thread was posted, because you just made a HUGE bump there... :o
