Hi :)
« on: July 14, 2010, 08:20:56 PM »
Hi Um, let's see. I'm 23... I read the books way back when they first came out, they where my favorite books as a kid, and they still rank pretty high for me even now.

My favorite books from the series are The Ellimist, the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, and all of Ax's books (he is, by far, my favorite character).

Anyway, I never knew anyone who was into the books when I was a kid, it's awesome to see so many fans still around after all these years. The Animorphs books are what got me into SciFi and aliens especially... I was into them even before I discovered Star Wars, haha.

I did have one quick question though, if someone wouldn't mind answering it here... What happened to Esplin at the end of the HB Chronicles? I'm reading the the pdf versions, and it seems like it cuts off at the end? I don't remember :) And I don't want to read anymore books until I know,  in case it's something important. Thanks.

Huh. I guess the copy I downloaded was corrupted... I downloaded it again from this site and all the pages are there... sorry about that.

wHELLcome, Enki! (like Enki Bilal the drawer? or Enki the god? ;))
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 Enki 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); 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. (And as you're reading them, you really could help us...)

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 One RAFian On Volume project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5317.0 where everybody take a picture of him/herself with a volume of Animorphs...

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 Enki* 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... and say where do you live here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5049.0 so Marie can add you on the RAFworld Map!
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. Enki can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!

Well, well, well, welcome to RAF! Please, take off your shoes, coat, and please leave your sanity in a small bottle at the door until our seal/horse hybrid creature waddles along to incinerate it. Here in RAF, you will find many fascinating things to do, all of them perfectly safe. Watch out! *Throws Enkio to floor as thermonuclear cruise missile shrieks over head to detonate in someplace like Senegal*

Ha ha! That does happen from time to time 'rond here, if you consider 'time to time' as every third second *Another one blazes by to obliderate an all-seeing eye*

Anyway, please enjoy yourself, make sure to avoid getting too close to Estelore on account you'll most likely be burnt to a shadow outline!

Enjoy yourself, and don't forget to duck! *Ducks*

Ooh... I would love to help out with some projects... I have noticed a lot of mistakes in the eBooks, and I was actually thinking of going back in a fixing them a some point... I just have never done anything but read a pdf, so I don't really know how. It seems as if most of the errors are coding mistakes... small mutations in the script. I can also look up how to prevent that.

I also wouldn't mind working on the Everworld and Remenents ebooks, but I've never read them and I don't have any hard copies.

I am also interested in the graphic Novel idea. That's something that I've always wanted to do... I used to draw my own comics as a kid. I'm actually going to school right now to be an Illustrator, I will have to post my art sometime soon so the community can see what they think.

Some of the other projects also sound fun, especially the games. I've always told myself that if I ever land a job at a big-name video game company, I would do my damndest to get a good Animorphs game made. I think something like Morrowind or Fallout 3 would be fun... I happen to love Bethesda's sandbox style engine. I am definitely interested in the table top project, except, I don't know french.

^^ Nice! So please read this thread: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=2975.0 (particularly the first message) and some other thread about the ebooks, you'll learn a lot about how we work. You can begin when you want. And if you prefer to work on Animorphs, there is no problem (the Remnants are finished, except if somebody find a mistake I haven't seen...).
For the Graphic Novel, ask Gafrash. (It seems to be a little in stand-by...) But I'd like to see your art! So post it quickly ^^
The game projects are also a little in stand-by. But of course, they can continue if people care about them and want to work on them. For the table top project, well... you can help even in English. In fact, it'd be better if I made it in English, and then translate in French. The longest thing is to write a "book" (e-book) of the rules of the world. And decide what should change from the series so the game could work correctly. And of course, the hardest part is to decide how will be the rules of the game (for example, how to decide with dices if the characters can transform, fight the mind of the animal, if the Yeerks can control this host or not, etc.)
Well, you can't really go into too many projects. So you can do one for now, and then change for another project.
One of the easiest project is this one: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5317.msg435377#msg435377, we just need a lot of RAFians, but it's really easy and quick for everybody ^^
