Hi hey hello everyone! :) Some of you may recognize me from the comments, though I'm not the most active one there. But since I of course decided to come back to the Minnion Squad just before the chapter break, I figured I might as well give the Forum a try. I'm usually a failure at forum-ing, so please don't expect too much.

My name is Catherine (well, it's literally Katarzyna, but I'd react to whatever), and I'm from Poland. I do theatre studies at a university, along with miscellaneous courses connected to linguistics, medieval literature, French history and court live, philosophy, and whatnot.
I love folk and classical music, books, mountain hiking, and cats. I take classes in Irish and Scottish dances. I used to play keybord instruments. I write and translate poetry. I have always wanted to write fanfiction, but never truly gave it a try.
I'm familliar with Minna's work since the last chapter of aRTD, but I'm a shy entity who prefers to wander in the shadows of the Internets.
Or something.

Hi, Mentha_Spicata, good to have you here, you will already know many of us here, then, as you're not a total newbie.  This is definitely a safe place to try your hand at fan fiction, as Minnions are generally quite encouraging of such endeavours (or at least not ones to shoot you down in flames).  There is even a thread of fanfic ideas various folks have put out there (must put in the linkie) to get you started.  (Although I suspect that since you mention the concept, you may have more than a few ideas already brewing?)

Thak you for a warm welcome! :)
wavewright62, to be honest, some fanfic ideas have been hanging around in my head for far too long, but I doubt my writing skills too much to let them out into the world.

Life is short, blah blah, anonymity is a thing, blah blah.  You don't have to be perfect!  Writing is a skill that develops throughout your life, but it doesn't develop if you don't actually do it.  How are those for motivational posters?  tumblr is great at sending such sentiments my way, and to be honest the exhortation that it doesn't have to be perfect is something I need reminding of **frequently.**

Me too, Wavewright, me too. I've enjoyed watching your writing become stronger and more confident with practice.
Mentha, you should totally write and draw. There's always an audience here!

Welp, I just joined the forum, so thought it'd be cool to write one of these!

Heyo, the name's Lucy (call me Nneoh if you want) and I'm an Internet lurker from the Land Down Under, a.k.a Australia! I'm 17 years old and use she/her pronouns if anyone wants to know.

I found SSSS through an ad on Flight Rising, read it all in a week and loved it! I'm a huge fan of Nordic culture and post-apocalyptic stories, so the comic is definitely right up my alley.

I'm a high school student currently studying a myriad array of subjects, but my main jams are anything related to history/geopgraphy/politics, English and learning other languages. I'm a native English speaker currently studying Japanese, and I know a few profanities in Icelandic and Finnish. In the future I'd like to learn a Nordic language and either Mongolian or Kazakh.

I love reading, writing my own stories (I might share some of them here if that's okay), drawing (even though I suck), playing video games and messing around on the Internet. Looking forward to getting to hang out with you all!

The fact that there are Scriptoria for SSSS, aRTD, and Original Fiction suggests that you'd be welcome to share if you so desire.

Hello, Mentha_Spicata, a/k/a Spearmint! 

Judging by your many interests, you will find lots of people here to share them with!  Especially writing fan-fic.  I had never written fiction since some very stiff and boring attempts back in college, years ago -- but SSSS helped me overcome my writer's block and sense of inadequacy, to the point I've written yards and yards.  (Mostly not very good, but it's a lot of fun and very freeing.) 

If you're Polish, you may like a book I recently finished, Uprooted by Naomi Novik (author of the Temeraire series).  It's a fantasy based on Polish folklore and history, which in the English-speaking world is refreshingly different.
