Hello!
« on: April 21, 2010, 05:20:06 PM »
I should have done this a while ago, but have been side tracked for a bit. So here it is; Hello, Everyone at RAF. Allow me to introduce myself:
          My name is Cory Holmes, I am 24 and live in Wichita Kansas, I have been married for three wonderful years to my beautiful wife heather...I have an almost 2 yr old son (Kennedy), & I've got a little girl on the way in May. I have always enjoyed Animorphs since I read them in fourth grade and instantly hooked. I have a confession to make however: I have not read the entire series... I know, I know, Same right? I just couldn't in my schedule back when I was ten (not to mention lack of funds to purchase said book series). But now I'm searching for them to rekindle that fire I once had about this series. Bonus note: I have talked my wife into reading them with me, since she has no idea what they were about FYI:SHE LOVES THEM! we only read a couple together but so far she's enjoying the ride.
        I hope I meet some new friends here and stay a long time, it's always good to find mutual intrests. Feel free to message me anytime. ;)

Hey Cory!  Welcome to RAF, I'm Tara :)  I talked my boyfriend into going back and reading the series, too, haha.

It is your sworn duty as an Animorphs fan to at least casually suggest to your children, when they are ready, to read the damn things! XD

Hi Cory, welcome to RAF!  I'm glad you're finally getting a chance to read the series in its entirety!  How far did you get the first time around?

hey there, welcome to the forum. i'm goom. *points to username*

glad to see you're already converting another to <animorphs>.

if you haven't finished the series, i'd be careful where you go on the forum. many assume that others have (it is an animorphs forum after all).
i'd advise staying out of topics discsussing the ending.

Hey there and welcome to RAF, Cory!

I remember reading Animorphs books to the kids I used to babysit, *suddenly is horrified to think they might be on RAF... not sure what that's horrifying, but I'm sure it is* but my one-day kid(s) will most certainly be indoctrinated!

Congrats on your new daughter! What day is she due? Hooray!

I look forward to seeing you more around the forums and maybe on RAFchat sometime!

I think about 47 or 48...whichever one has turning into a beaver on it. That's not to say I've read all of those before that one,I just remember that's the last one I read.

Yeah, I thought of that, It's just that the books have been out a LONG time and easy access to the internet, I already pretty much know how it ends. Not that I'm saying it's the same as reading for myself though.

 Thanks for the congrats. She's supposed to be due the 25th...But I'm sure that -anybody who has delt with child berth will agree-babies rarely come when they are supposed to. We are leaning towards Kenzie as a name(we love the K names).

Oh, a new member with a child... He'll probably post pictures of his child...
wHELLcome, Cory!
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 Cory 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), 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) and GONE (new project?); 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://rafipedia.wetpaint.com/, 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 and http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3635.msg245735.html#msg245735, 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 Cory* 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. ... and if you want, you can add your age too: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,318.0.html...
We also opened a http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=36.0 to teach to each others our languages and other stuffs.

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

Kenzie! What a sweet name! I love it! We'll be expecting pictures of your new minion -- I mean daughter -- in May or June! :D Is your son looking forward to being a big brother?

Oh, and just a friendly so-ya-know, if you want to post again in a thread where you were the last poster, just modify your previous post rather than making a new one. That way, you won't get that neon "POST MERGED!" thing going on, plus it'll keep the mods off your tush. ;)

Again, we're glad you're here! Hope you enjoy your time at RAF... and maybe feel motivated to finish the series someday, haha!
