Hey, just a proper introduction finally.

[sublime88stang]

HI, my name is Jeremie I've been lurking on the boards for about a month and a half now, but this is my first post in the social side of the board. Figured i'd put up an introduction thread to say hi. So, I first got into animorphs back when the book's first came out for me it was like in grade 3 or something like that, I read almost every single book all the way up to the end, except Visser for some wierd reason.

Up untill about a month ago I had forgotten about them completely, then I saw an ad for this forum on Facebook and decide to check it out since it was a blast from the past for me lol. I never knew that Animorphs had such a strong following, in my school back in the day barley anyone read the books cept for me.

 I just started my first re-read of the series and im up to book 31.  

My passions are my car, playing Call of Duty,  going to concerts, and hanging out with my friends, like most other 22 year old's.

Just saying hi and this is pretty much who i am. :-)  

[Stephquiem]

Welcome to RAF! I'm Steph. Nice to meet you.

[DinosaurNothlit]

Hey, there!  I'm DinosaurNothlit, but most people call me Dino, DN, or Nothlit.  I think I've seen you around, but it's nice to officially meet you.

[Myitt]

Heya, welcome (officially) to RAF!  I'm Tara

[Josh (J)]

Hey-lo, Jeremie! *shifty eyes* Welcome to RAF, officially. A note of warning. There are a few things you need to look out for. *nods*
1. A French talking Yeerk.
Yep, that's right. But she speaks English too for...English speaking reasons? *nods a few times* Careful with her, she's kinda spooky. She'll lead you down a hallway and introduce you to the RAFipedia, the Audiobook Project, Graphic Novel, smiley project, Animorph translation project, RAF: The Animated Series, RAFparody animation project, Project Planet, Animorphs: The RPG, Animorphs Command-line game (another video game), an Animorphs Body Count, the musical aspects of RAF, One RAFian, one volume of Animorphs (a really interesting project), and then little projects. And she'll mention how to add your species, age, where you live, and how to go to school. Yep, we have school here. *nods*
2. A telepathic Bear.
He looks gentle. But be careful. He can get really mad. Of course, he won't tell you that. But if you anger the bedtime bear, or anything...let's just say that bears cause some damage. *nods again* He'll tell ya about RAF social, and just in a sentence about the RAFprojects, who you can turn to Dameg for more detail. Then you'll see about the Animorphs stuff. There's the Animorphs forum, Animorphs Fanfiction and Art, and Animorphs Roleplaying. You should check those out. *nods again until his head starts to spin* Ow...sorry 'bout that. *clears head* Then he'll lead you to General Board. It's just what the title says. Anything general. There are also, as he'll show you, non-Animorph RPGs. Several, actually. And more fanfiction too! And finally he'll tell you how to say some more about yourself. Pretty easy stuff, actually. *nods again, but his head is so loose it finally falls of* Uhh...you wouldn't mind picking it up for me?
3. Finally, 2 kids out to take your sanity.

Oh wait, skip that last one! I'm here--along with Myth, when she gets here--to take out all of your sanity, whatever you have left of it. It's what we do best. *nods* She'll be here shortly.

*walks out of the room, whistling* I think that Bear and/or Dameg will be a leetle surprised at what I've done. So maybe I'll get out while I still have the chance. Just...normal insane stuff.

So....did I ever say welcome?

[warren_bearclaw]

((( -.- You wanna steal my thunder J?!? Huh? Do ya?!? FINE!!!! *KER-ZAAAPPS J with lightning bolt*)))

Yes. He's right. He's angered the Bear. Me and Dameg, who he mentioned (-.-) have this little contest going on to see who can greet the newcomer's first. We're kinda famous for our unreasonably long introductory posts, but hey, it's what we do. It's just a tiny glimpse of the insanity that goes on here. And, well, just so you don't feel left out....

Suddenly, a large dark-brown bear enters the room. He appears gentle, and is curious about the newcomer. <Hello! I am Bear. Are you new here? Let me show you around!>

<This is the 'RAF Social' Board. We really get to know each other here. You've already introduced yourself, and you can also have your own Member Profile here, too!> The Bear lumbers back through the doorway, leading 'Stang (can I call you that?) into a hallway. There are many, many doors here.

<This door is the way to the 'RAF Projects' Board. Lots of RAFians work together on all kinds of cool stuff, like producing Animorphs audio-books and  "RAF: The Animated Series"! It's a really good show....> Bear moves over to another large door.

<Here is the 'Bored Board'. We play games and love to waste our time here! It's a lot of crazy fun. You should join us here!> Bear continues down the hall, speaking as he goes.

<These three doors are for the Animorphs Section. We discuss the books, TV show, and anything about the series in the 'Animorphs Forum'. The 'Animorphs Role Playing' Board is exciting! RAF always has active RPG's, and lots of cool players. I hope you like to Role-play as much as I do....> Bear's short tail wagged. <And we have some talented writers who share their 'Animorphs Fan Fiction & Art' in here. I like that room.> Across the hall, there is another set of three doors, side by side.

<That is the 'General Board'. We can talk about anything there... the weather, funny quotes, or anything you like! We also play all kinds of non-Animorphs RPG's in there, and we have way more neat stories and artwork in that last door.>

<Oh yeah! And there's the 'Media Area', where we talk about movies, TV, the news.... And we talk about 'Other Books' in that room!>

Bear sits on his haunches and looks at 'Stang. <It's a big place, but it's so much fun here! We're glad that you came. Tell us a few things about yourself here, and what species you are here.>

Bear begins to walk farther down the hallway, which opens into a thick green forest. He looks over his shoulder and says, <You'll see me around. Welcome to RAF!>


There. You've now been probably inducted (or is it abducted>  ) into the Greatness that is RAF. Welcome aboard!

[Dameg]

=_=' I came first here but got hooked by the Gerard for cinema & TV (like the Academy Awards/Oscars but for bad actors, movies etc. so very funny... don't know if you have something like that in the US) and had no time to post before you...

Anyway...

wHELLcome, Sublime Jeremie!
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 Jeremie to a long and dark hallway, with many doors, some in the dark, some with light coming from the other side.

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

[Josh (J)]

*is zapped into...the next room*comes back in*
Well, I'm grateful for the show, Dameg. Look what it did for me!

[Mythgirl]

Hey-lo, Jeremie!

3. Finally, 2 kids out to take your sanity.

Oh wait, skip that last one! I'm here--along with Myth, when she gets here--to take out all of your sanity, whatever you have left of it. It's what we do best. *nods* She'll be here shortly.

*runs into room and into wall* Okay. First of all, WHO PUT THAT WALL THERE?!

Second of all, J, you totally stole my "Hey-lo". 

Third of all, I'm here. In case you hadn't noticed.

Fourth of all... Hey-lo! I'm Mythgirl, but you can call me Myth. Nice to meet you, Jeremie.

Fifth of all, welcome to RAF! We're all kind and welcoming here, so jump right in and don't be too afraid.

Sixth of all, now that I'm here, J and I will take your sanity for you. Seriously, sanity can be dangerous.

Seventh of all, I hope you like it here on RAF. 'Cuz if you don't it's too bad for you, because when you come to RAF, you can never leave!

Eighth of all, goodbye!I look forwards to seeing you around the forum!

[warren_bearclaw]

*runs into room and into wall* Okay. First of all, WHO PUT THAT WALL THERE?!

Myth, you always run into the wall. They're in every single room/thread in RAF. You'd think you'd learn this by now...

[Mythgirl]

*runs into room and into wall* Okay. First of all, WHO PUT THAT WALL THERE?!

Myth, you always run into the wall. They're in every single room/thread in RAF. You'd think you'd learn this by now...

I know I always run into the wall. You think I LIKE doing this?!

And I realize that they are in every single room in RAF. Someone keeps moving them around. *glares around room* And it's not my fault I have the tendancy to run around headfirst and into walls. Right? RIGHT?!

[Josh (J)]

Myth, be more careful. I don't want a partner who speaks badly about me.

[Mythgirl]

Myth, be more careful. I don't want a partner who speaks badly about me.

*sigh* Fine. You can use my hey-lo.

[Josh (J)]

Myth, be more careful. I don't want a partner who speaks badly about me.

*sigh* Fine. You can use my hey-lo.

OK. You can run into walls, I can use the hey-lo. *nods*

[Mythgirl]

Myth, be more careful. I don't want a partner who speaks badly about me.

*sigh* Fine. You can use my hey-lo.

OK. You can run into walls, I can use the hey-lo. *nods*

*nods* It's a deal.

Although honestly, it might be hard to keep me from running into walls...oh well.
