Hi i'm new
« on: November 15, 2009, 02:33:17 PM »
Well, not too new.  I signed up a while back.  But i've decided to begin posting! Anyway my name is Jerrod. I like movies, videogames, and making videos online.  I used to love books and read Animorphs/Everworld/Goosebumps and would like to start the habit up again sometime.  I read all the Harry Potter novels, and those were amazing.  Not interested in Twilight, but the movie was okay, I guess.  Other then that i've been pretty dormant with books.  Sad...

Anyway the economy has been hurting me, as I don't have a job and haven't had one since the end of January.  For a 26 year old male, that is a very bad thing.  So I will keep this site in mind for comfort while I continue searching.  :P

Hey Jerrod, I'm Tara, welcome to RAF!  If you like RPGs you can also check out some pretty fun stuff going on at the Animorphs and General RPG boards.  I'm 25 and on medical leave from work, and my boyfriend is 26 and makes minimum wage three days a week so he can pursue an unpaid internship (doing what he really likes, which is good), so we hear ya on the economic crunch.  Good luck with your job search!

Hey Jerrod!  Welcome to RAF.  I'm DinosaurNothlit, but I usually go by Dino, Nothlit, or DN.

I'd say that I hope you like it here, but from what I've seen, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that you will.  You seem to be getting on quite well already.

I hope your job-hunting goes well!

Welcome, Jerrod! My name's Jess, and that's what everyone calls me despite the forum name. :P

I'm 24 and a lucky bastard who is gainfully employed with a job she loves and is incredibly thankful for (I teach high school special education), however, I feel your pain through my family, none of whom are employed. :/ Good luck with the job searching, and welcome to RAF!

Welcome to posting on RAF!!

I'm Spartan-281, AKA: Spartan, Parker, Park, Brandon, Shaft

The last is a rarely used nickname I've had since high school.

Sorry about the job situation, I couldn't hold a job for more than 3 months a couple years ago. But I have a pretty sweet set up now. Although my job duties keep expanding and expanding. :explode:

This site is a great escape, if you're looking for great conversation and like-minded friends.


Hope you enjoy it here!

wHELLcome, Jerrod!
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 Jerrod 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...

- The Ebooks project: [Help wanted!] Animorphs (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0), Remnants (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html <= finished) and Everworld (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html); we need somebody to scan the volume #10 of Everworld, and the other Everworld/Animorphs ebooks need to be cleaned a little (mistakes, we don't know where the chapters begin and finish, etc.) so if you wanna be a correcter... call me, I head that projects.

Facing it is...

- RAFipedia: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0, 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: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0, a full-cast audio version of Animorphs who need more "actors" and voices, headed by Kit Cloudkicker (Jess), MrGuy, Morfowt, and Wildweathel;

and here...

- the Graphic Novel project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,416.0.html and http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2276.0.html, a Webcomic headed by Gafrash.

You also have...

- the Smiley project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html, we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...);

here and facing it is...

- the Translation project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html, 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), 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:

- http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3738.0.html: the adventures of the RAFians;

At the end it's for the little projects:

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3810.0.html;

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3911.0.html 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: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4069.0.html to make a video game about Animorphs, with RPGmaker;

- the Command-line game project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3787.0.html for another kind of video game about Animorphs;

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3773.0.html where we count all the people killed by the Animorphs;

- the RAFkaraoke: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html, where we make songs and sing them... It's pretty new... But please sing with us!

and some other projects who come and go. Please check the list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,13.0.html

*Standing in front of Jerrod* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html '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.

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

Thanks for the tour, Dameg. I wasn't really hungry, so i'm not too bummed on not being invited to the meal.  There is more here then I thought.  I do have all the Everworld books, so I might be able to help.  The audiobook project sounds like fun.  I like acting in general and do it a lot on YT.  Maybe the audiobook project will be in the cards for me sometime.
