Hey everyone!
« on: September 09, 2010, 07:22:22 PM »
Hey everyone!

New here. I lurked for a bit about six months ago, and decided i should finish the books before i joined.

As you can already guess, i love the Animorphs. I stopped reading them as a kid, not really by choice, and discovered the e-books a little before last christmas. Took me ages to finish them (damn undergrad and my necessity to pass it) but have burnt through the last fifteen this week. So happy. and a little sad.

Anyway, i'm a writer. Mostly poetry. Haven't written fiction in years. I love to read, and my favorite writer is Larry Levis.

Um... thats about it, i guess.



"And for years I believed
That what went unsaid between us became empty,
And pure, like starlight, & that it persisted.

I got it all wrong.
I wound up believing in words the way a scientist
Believes in carbon, after death. " --Excerpt from Winter Stars by Larry Levis

Heya patric, welcome to RAF!  I'm Tara, I think you'll like it here ;D  Hope so, anyway.  Feel free to leave your sanity at the door, with the bellhop.

Hey there, patric!  Welcome to RAF!  We're all a great community here, I'm sure you'll have a great time.  I changed my name, but it used to be Horsefan, so just call me Horse, Horsie, or Seal, 'cause I am a seal.  Don't ask.   :P

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to confiscate your sanity.  If you don't give it to me willingly, I will lock you in a dark room, suck your sanity from your skull, and leave you in there for a day or 2.

Ahem...anyway...yea h, we're a little odd here, but don't be fooled--we can get into some really interesting conversations!  I'm looking forward to seeing you around!   :)

Hehe. Okay, that was awesome. I'd already typed this, but then you got your reply in first, and it made me laugh, so I felt obligated to tell you so ;D

Hey patric! I've seen a couple of your posts. Glad you decided to introduce yourself ^_^

Welcome to RAF. Kick off your shoes, make yourself at home. Stay a while. Check it out. We've got threads on stuff you've never even thought about, Animorphs-related and otherwise!

It's good to have you here! Hopefully I'll see more of you around :D

Marie and Abby are my wonderful RAFsisters ^_^

Oh, yes, thanks for reminding me, goom. I'm usually KitsuneMarie. PadmeAmidala is usually HorseFan (though lots of folks call her Sea)l. Yoda is usually Stephquiem. Han Solo is usually Myitt. A lot of us have included our usual screen names in parentheses, but not everyone has, so let us know if you have questions! :D

*Running out the elevator* Oh, sorry, am I late?
wHELLcome, Patric! *shake hands*
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 Patric 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.

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...

- 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 Patric* 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 now, we have an inspector and he wants to check our... installations. *Beginning to go down dark stairs quickly. Patric can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Patric is now alone in the hallway*

Hey there! Welcome to RAF! I'm Gaz, nice to meet you.

I urge you to check out "Gaz Reads the Twilight "saga"" where I give a chapter by chapter review of the books. I'm gearing up to start book 3. These are very sarcastic, by the way.

Huzzah, you guys are sweet.

Again, thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Dameg *shakes hand* i might be able to help out with the Ebooks project! I own all but the last couple Everworld books and would be more then willing to lend a hand! I've been an editor for a few different lit magazine's so, while I'm not to good at line editing, i could give it a shot! *checks scheduler* I'm a little busy, my first semester of grad school, but if you're not to tight on deadlines I'd love to help!

other then that i'll definitely take a look at some of the other projects. they all look fun!

And, Gaz, i look forward to reading your review on those books. Sounds fun.
