  • wow, i sure haven't been here in a while. hello
I think I should introduce myself...
« on: October 04, 2010, 02:18:17 PM »
I've been lurking here lately (for 1 day, 7 hours and 27 minutes in total...). And now, as the title says, I thought I should introduce myself. I wanted to come out of hiding. :-]

I'm a 14 year old Animorphs fan who recently got into the books this summer, via the local library.
Yup, I'm one of the most recent Animorphs readers, not an original reader like the most of you. Even though the series is old, I still got successfully hooked. :D
Now I've read through almost the whole series in Norwegian, and my 11-year old brother(who recommended the series for me after reading book 1) is still trying to get to the end of the series.
And now I want to be somewhere where I can talk about it, without getting too... many unknowing people asking me what it is? :-\

I might just continue lurking until I find threads to post in, though... Hopefully it wouldn't take too long before I find one. ;)

Lol. Are you implying that my fellow Controllers are not to be trusted? Are you??

Anyway, welcome, Magdaleen! Behold RAF in all of its awesomeness! I am VisserZer0, Visser, Zero, V0, or maybe Viss.

Hello Magdaleen!

RAF is a great place, and Animorphs is amazing! glad you discovered them :)
"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

*whispers* Oh, and by the way...keep on eye on Dameg...
Be careful on what you say, slave guy!

Anyway, wHELLcome, Magda!
I'm Vis... I'm Dameg, another RAFian. Come with me, please, I have something to show you. Don't worry, I won't hurt you or anything. It's here, after this door *Open a heavy door* We call them the RAFprojects. *Lead Magda 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...

- 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;

Facing it...

- 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... <= We need a lot of RAFians to participate! You only need a volume of Animorphs (rented if you don't have any) & a camera/webcam, and I'd be glad if we could have a Norwegian version, I think we have none.

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 Magda* 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.

I have a question: Which volumes of Animorphs, Everworld and Remnants were translated in Norwegian? In France we missed the volumes #47 to 52 of Animorphs + Ellimist + Alternamorph 2, and the Remnants #8 to 14.

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