Hi! I'm new!
« on: February 02, 2009, 10:55:02 AM »
Hi!
My name is Rosanna and I come from Sweden.
I have been a huge Animorphs fan since my older sister's friend first introduced me to the series when I was 10 years old. I then started buying the books, but unfortunately they stopped translating and selling them here in Sweden after book 16 + the first and the fourth Megamorphs (I know, it's really annoying that they released the 4th Megamorph here, but not the 2nd or the 3rd!).
This was a few years ago and I have now recently started buying them over the internet from the United States. I now have books 1-16 + Megamorphs 1 & 4 in Swedish and books 17-20 + Megamorphs 2 + The Andalite Chronicles in English and I'm waiting for books 21 and 22 to arrive ;D
When I have the rest of the books, I might get the ones I already have in Swedish in English instead. They're much better in the original language ;)

Anyway, I'm very happy to have found this forum and I'm very much looking forward to meeting everyone :)
I may not be able to come online as often as maybe some of you (I don't know how active everyone is) because I have a lot of school work etc to do. I hope that's okay :)

Talk to you later,
Rosanna

*swirls his cloak and appears*

Hmmm . . . right universe this time.

Welcome, Zana.  You may call me Cloaky -- everyone else does, and, frankly, I find it humorous.

Welcome!  Hah!  This time I'm the first to mention the projects!

Quote from: Dameg on February 01, 2009, 03:27:21 AM
RAFians have many projects you can participate and contribute to if you want:

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!

Sweden, huh?  There's been some interest in continuing the Swedish translation after I wrote about the project above. 

And don't feel like you have to pick up a project either.  There's plenty of random silly fun, too.  We cater to all attention spans.  ;D

Thanks for the welcome, Wild :) (is it okay if I call you Wild?)

Also, thanks for the info about the projects :)
I'd be happy to help out with a Swedish translation, if there's any interest :)
I'll check out the other projects too :D

Thank you Azguard!

Haha, well, kinda. I've noticed some weird stuff, but not really any craziness. But then I haven't been a member for very long ;)

Neither have I.  I've racked up over 350 posts in two months.  How's that for crazy?  Or how about the time Dameg asked what species members are?
