oh my god the fandom still lives
« on: February 26, 2013, 01:30:10 PM »
Hey! The name's Keileon, and I found this place while searching for a way to read Elfangor's Secret and Back to Before without having to buy them. XD I never expected to find an ACTUAL living forum for the fandom- I mean, if the series is so old that the library can't buy the books, I thought the fandom would have died out. Can't tell you how amazed and glad I am to find that it's still hanging on somewhere on the internet!

[/rambling]

... so yeah. Hope to stay here for a while~

It's true, some fandoms are just far too awesome to die.  Animorphs is so timeless (dated culture references and all) because it grew up with us.  Reading it as a kid, and you're all 'oh, kids turn into animals and fight aliens, neat!' but then you read it again as an adult and catch all the deeper meanings you missed before.  So, really, it makes some sense that we've all stuck around.

But anyway, welcome!  I'm DinosaurNothlit, more succinctly known as DN or Dino.  I'm glad you like the forum!  We look forward to getting to know you.

Animorphs: the fandom that just refused to go away.

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

*swirls his cloak and enters his room.  Then promptly trips over said cloak.*

Oops!

Well, uh, welcome Keileon (which for some reason makes me think of Kecleon, a Pokemon, sorry).  I am known as Cloak, resident Realm Walker.

Stick around, you'll find yourself a nice niche.  *shakes with revulsion, realizing how much that sounds like Mary Hightower.*

Dino- I know, right? The series is pretty powerful once you get past all the hilarity that is anytime Marco tries to drive. :P

Cloak- One of my friends actually calls me Kecleon for that very reason.

You should get a profile picture so I can remember you better... There are so many pictureless people that some of them are forgotten by me.

Happy? :P

Just forgot to do it, that's all.

Also what is this Insanity Meter?

It's actually an activity meter.  Alternatively, the more you post, the more insane you become!

Get to know Steph, if you need proof of the correlation.

Heh.  Good to see the place is still crazy and lur-ehm inviting new folks.

I've leveled up my critical reading skills (and writing skills) since I last read, so maybe another one is in order.

Already insane? Great, no brain-washing required for you then.

Welcome to the forum :) See you around the boards!
