Greetings.
« on: February 09, 2010, 11:18:21 PM »
Hello everyone, I was invited here by Myitt and recently joined. :) I've been a member of various Animorphs communities online basically since I was old enough to go online, so some of you might be familiar with me already. For the last few years it's just been the Animorphs community on LiveJournal, where I post as Ferahgo.

I've been a fan of this series literally from the very beginning (I'm now 23), and can certainly say that it shaped my childhood in innumerable ways.

Though formally trained in biology, I'm an illustrator by trade, and you can see my artwork here: http://ferahgo-the-assassin.deviantart.com

I have done some Animorphs fanart as well, though unfortunately not often anymore: http://ferahgo-the-assassin.deviantart.com/gallery/#Animorphs (Still hope to color that damn Ellimist someday. :P)

Anyway, hope to contribute here a lot in the future. Nice to meet you all. *hat tip*

Yayyy, welcome Ferahgo/Bergen :D Glad you joined RAF!  I of course am Tara, also known as Myitt, dinojew, 'hey you', or generally anything except "Mittens" x3

I hope you like it here, we're all still Animorphs nerds, and it's a great community.  We even just recently had one member, Claire the world traveler extraordinaire (she's SuperClaire), travel around the world from her home in Australia to visit a bunch of us.  Since we're old pals I'll just take your sanity right to the sanity coat check room, to be claimed..hmm..at some point.  Later.  Maybe.  There we go, enjoy RAF and feel free to PM me or any of the mods (their names are in blue) if you have any questions :D

And I'm so glad you've linked to your artwork, Animorphs and otherwise, because a bunch of us here (myself included!) are fans of your uber-talent ;D  My lovely, eccentric boyfriend Dave (the Jewish part of 'dinojew') is also an artist, I'm sure he'd love to talk about art with you.  He's Pez001 but the man never posts, it makes me sad.  But, just figured I'd throw that out there.  Still trying to get him to finish something Animorphs-related, the jerk xD

Welcome, Ferahgo! I am in awe of your beautiful artwork. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! (teehee, Sharing, teehee)

We're eager to get to know you better, so I hope you continue to jump on in to the various boards here! Do let the staff know if you have any questions or issues, as Myitt said. Also, you should come hang out on RAFchat some time; I found it to be a great place to integrate into the community when I joined about 2 months ago.

You are like, my hero.  I've seen your work on DA, and I think I've probably already favorited about half of it.  I'd have favorited the other half, too, if I hadn't simply gotten bored of clicking the favorite button over and over.  You are that awesome.[/fangirl]

Anyway, I'm DinosaurNothlit, also known as Dino, DN, or Nothlit.  Welcome to RAF, and I hope you enjoy your stay.

wHELLcome, Ferahgo!
I'm Vis... I'm Dameg, another RAFian. I checked, and I DAwatch you for a long time. Your dinosaurs are amazing ^^ I hope you'll continue your fanarts. Well, now I have to show you the RAFprojects. *Lead Ferahgo 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 <= almost finished, it's our current priority, we need help to correct the volume #3 and check all the volumes to be sure there is no missing page); the Everworld/Animorphs ebooks need to be cleaned a little (mistakes, missing pages, 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. I told you about it already. I hope you'll join it ^^

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...

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 Ferahgo* 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.

Here my DA gallery about Animorphs, if you wanna take a look. But I'm not good at coloring, so we can't see very well the drawings ^^' Now I have to go... *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Ferahgo can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Do you wanna come? ;)
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Ferahgo is now alone in the hallway*

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! And thanks a lot for all of the information, Dameg. I would be interested in helping with the eBooks, only my entire collection of Animorphs is still at my father's house, not where I'm currently living (hey, in my defense, they are a lot of books to move). Also I saw the Animorphs "smileys" after clicking on DinosaurNothlit's profile: holy crap, those are amazing. I squeaked like a little girl when I saw them. Kudos to everyone involved! The morphing animations are amazing.

That said, I will consider getting involved in the graphic novel project, as it's more or less right up my alley. I have a lot of other projects on my plate right now, though, and I'm a bit reluctant to get involved in more for the time being.

My lovely, eccentric boyfriend Dave (the Jewish part of 'dinojew') is also an artist, I'm sure he'd love to talk about art with you.

Haha, I have an eccentric, Jewish artist boyfriend as well. Aren't they great?  ;)

Hahaha, that's too weird! XD  Yeahh they are great...you should get your man to post on here, too!  In Dave's defense, I did make him read all of Animorphs...so I don't blame him too much!

Don't worry about the Ebook project, Ferahgo. I'd prefer we finish quickly the Everworld first. And maybe until then you'll have the Animorphs books and time to help us. And the smiley project already did so many cool smilies that they more need ideas to make new ones ^^'
If you can already help with the graphic novel project, it's perfect ^^ Ask Gafrash for it.

Oh no! I totally missed this until now! I'm sorry Ferahgo! I have so many important things I have to tell you about RAF!

Welcome to RAF. It's cool here. You'll enjoy it.

Whew! Glad I got that out!

Haha... seriously, though, it's good to meet you, and I hope to see you around ^_^

Your art totally blows me away, by the way.

Marie and Abby are my wonderful RAFsisters ^_^

Thank you very much. :)

Would it be alright if I posted an art thread here at some point? I have tons of Animorphs doodles that aren't good enough for DA, but I figured the RAF might appreciate 'em.
