Zinvia, welcome! I've seen you in the comments, and I think you will do just fine here. There is a lot to explore, with all the threads - I haven't read all of it yet myself. Have fun!

Hey!

So I thought I'd finally join the board as well in anticipation of the new chapter. I've been commenting on the main page for a while under the name katafonteolog (for various reasons), and have also posted some fanfic to AO3, but for whatever reason I hadn't got around to registering for the forum, which is <lalli>really stupid</lalli> since I love to get nerdy about languages and other stuff. Now I have. I hope to mightily enjoy it and hope the experience will be mutual.

Welcome, beergood!  I love the <lalli> tags.  Hmmm, I wonder what <emil> tags would convey -- pompous and unintentionally offensive cluelessness or clueless-but-eager goodwill?  In any event, nice to have you join the Forum properly.  I notice you speak most of the Scandinavian languages (at least enough to order some beers).  Add Icelandic and you'll have a full sweep!

Also welcome skips (Norwegian and screaming?  Join the club  ;) ), Zinvia (we're glad to see you moving over from the Disqus comments!), Johniny (you may be our first Slovakian member), and Lyric (I bet I'm not the only one who would love to see sketches of the wildcats you used to work with, if you have any).

A (sadly belated) thank you to all who wished me welcome! And hello beergood, and all you others! (Katafonteolog made me laugh more than a little because I automatically read it as telefonkatalog. Not sure if that is the intended anagram.)

I am indeed Norwegian and also still screaming! Always screaming! It's what I do!
I really need to sign up for Disqus so I can comment on things. I have a lot to say, or yell, depending on excitement levels.

It is indeed! It's a very old personal joke that I used as a twitter handle for a while and then when I signed up for disqus and bla bla. Thanks!

Pretty much. And the <mikkel> tag just formats everything in a very deadpan way.

Let me be the notorious counterexample and point out that at least technically, you do not need to be logged into Disqus to be all over the comments sections ...

True! Your dedication to this is rather interesting in its consistency.

While I joined this board some time ago, I'm yet to make a formal introduction.

I'm Russian, currently living in our cultural capital St. Petersburg, but my hometown Khabarovsk is all the way across the vast expanse of Russia (7 hours flight, a week by train, therefor I don't visit it often).
Possibly out of this comes my innate "feeling for distances" and and love for geography.

Love for geography got me into SSSS - a friend sent me a Map of the Known World and I was hooked.
I've read whole comic (around 600 of 700 pages at that time?) in one evening...

Over the months since that fateful evening, my life experienced a generous influx of excitement all thanks to SSSS:
I've met a bunch of like-minded fans and now we are marching to Winter Fandom Battle together - I'm bound to have new friends and comrades-in-arms after it.
Slow and delightful torture of waiting for updates caused a surge of inspiration rarely seen before and prompted me to start several fan-themed projects, which I'm excited to be able to share here, when time comes.

Life is good and winter months are to be packed with creative fun and for this I'll be forever grateful.
