Introduction
« on: January 22, 2009, 08:48:11 PM »
I was asked to do (make an introduction) this after posting in the 'find anifans' thread, which was my first post.....sooo.....

Hello everyone, you probably wont see me on here too much, though Ill drop by from time to time. Im a huge animorph fan that read the books, all of them, when I was growing up as they were coming out.

Im 22 now, will be 23 in a matter of weeks, and havent read them since 7th grade (approximately, that was awhile back now, seems like a lifetime), though I think Ill go back and run through the series once again to refresh the memories and revisit the past. Also so I can discuss things when I get on here from time to time. Those books meant the world to me in those days and I still think of them frequently. Anyway, back to the introduction.

My real name is John. I live in Texas, greater south houston area to be more precise. I work at a refinery, and am often extremely bored on nights, so Im revisiting things from my past in the down time. Im reading a book from high school right now, enders game, which if you like animorphs, your sure to love Enders Game. You should check it out.

So.....yeah.....loo k forward to enjoying similar minded company with shared interests.

wHELLcome, John who live in Texas... What is your exact address? Oops, sorry, forget it ^^'
Thanks for the introduction!

RAFians has many projects:

Quote from: wildweathel
E-books Project (mostly complete, and therefore inactive.  However, there has been some activity trying to clear up the last little details in support of the Translation Project),
Remnants and Everworld E-books projects will be soon finished too (miss Everworld #10)...

Quote from: wildweathel
RAFipedia (an encyclopedia of the weirdness that goes on here, headed up by Estelore)

The Audiobooks project, a full-cast audio version of Animorphs, which is currently reactivating.  There are many non-acting positions open, plus quite a few parts (especially extras) as well.  Mrguy, Morfowt, and myself are currently heading that.

The Translation Project (actually in the Other Books board currently), a recently started project/mutual support group for translations into other languages.  With a lot of random language-geekyness.  Currently, there's been interest in French (Dameg, Tocade, Anidragon), Chinese (Morfowt), Indonesian (Nat), and Esperanto (myself)--but as far as I know, no real goals have been set yet.  Personally, I'm only interested in continuing work on my translation once the Audiobooks are moving along well.

The Webcomic project: making the comic of Animorphs.

The RPG project: I'll do it in French, but with some RAFians, we gonna translate. And RAFians also help ^^ a lot!

You can participate and contribute to the projects if you want.



And if you can, find the Sharing the closest from your home and become a member ^^ ok?

Ho, John. Welcome to RAF.
There's a method to my madness, I just haven't figured it out yet.

Hi.

Dameg, did you quote weathel? Because I don't think you're revitalizing the audiobooks.

So yeah. Hi.

I refuse to remove this sig because of some petty argument. RAF must remain solid.

Hello, deadgumit.  Dameg kinda stole my thunder (but that's OK, really!) talking about the projects, but I would like to mention that we cater to shorter attention spans and intermittent visitors as well.  There's still active literary discussion in the book threads, randomness in Bored, and once a month (second weekend, starts @ 10pm Central Friday, ends @ 10pm Sunday) we throw a RAFparty.

*takes a giant whiteboard from one of his pockets and writes: "Actions aren't just for RP anymore!"*

There's quite an interesting cast of characters here, too.  Cloaky can teleport himself and objects plus this weird sort of hadouken thing.  But don't expect to see that unless there's another invasion of zombies.  I'm mostly human.  If you can't tell what Dameg  is you deserve to be infested.  Plus, we have a star and Satan's son, but I'll let them introduce themselves.

Oh and before I go, yes I have read quite a bit of Card's literature.  He's awesome.

On RAF, there are fairies, geeks, goombas, a guy extremely protective of his cloak and a seal.  The last one being me.

The first one being me.  The second one being a vast majority.  The third one being Goom.  The fourth one being Cloaky.  And don't forget the star.  That would be Estelore.  We have various other species, but I don't feel like listing them.

Oh, how could I forget Este!?  Not many RAFians are human.  I am still not sure what Cloaky is under his cloak.

And it's not a good idea to take that cloak off.  Ask Goom.

What did it reveal?  Now I'm all curious,  but I don't want to feel Cloaky's wrath.  *shivers*  I get the fright just thinking about it.

Lol.  Goom hasn't said, though Cloaky just about slaughtered him.  Or maybe he did.  I don't remember.
