Hi, y'all wonderful people!
I just realized this thread existed.
I'm Nellie, and I'm terrible at introductions.
I've only been reading SSSS since September-ish, but I'm fully caught up and more than fully invested in the characters/story/fandom. I have not yet read ARTD, which probably makes me an unfaithful Minnion, but I swear I will get there as soon as my life decides to give me enough time to binge another webcomic!

I speak English, and I'm learning Mandarin Chinese and Latin but am nowhere near fluent in either, especially Chinese.
I love Lalli (well, I love everyone of our main characters) with all my heart and I will never recover from Tuuri.

WOAH NELLIE
...
(I am truly sorry, but someone had to do it)
Welcome!! And don't worry, I haven't read further than page... I think 44 of aRTD, so I don't know anything about it XD also, agreed. Tuuri is love and Tuuri is life. Tuuri is also luck, which is kinda sad when you think about it, so I'm gonna stop thinking about it  :'(

Also to wavewright62, you're welcome!(?) :'D Or should I say... your welcome >:D HAHAHAH
(Also also, I'ma point this out in a whisper, so imagine I'm whispering: "bugger", while a great deal of fun to say, is sadly used as a slur against gay folks primarily in the UK. I actually found this out a few weeks ago from a writing teacher (the dude who wrote Ender's Game, turns out, is really homophobic... Sigh). I haven't yet heard it used to attack anyone, and it might've fallen out of use/been reclaimed by this point, but I thought I should let you know just in case!)

(Oh but now I like the way "useful leeetle gays" sounds :'D I wanna be useful and small!!)

Ah yes, my apologies if anyone out there was affronted (see also the usage of the word 'bastard' currently in the Bad Jokes thread).  It was actually a point of controversy some years back when an NZ ad campaign, now beloved and universally embraced, featured the word in its current context, in which every man and his dog now uses the word freely.
It's been a while since I viewed this ad, and I find it interesting that etymologically, you can hear the 'bugger me' also used, tied back to its older (mis)use.  I feel a treatise coming on, I'd better stop.

No, you're right, someone totally had to do that  ;D

Thank all of you all brilliant folk for being so welcoming!

(all of you all is fun to say.)

Also thank all of you all for pointing that out about the word (imagine I'm whispering?) "bugger" because I too was totally unaware of that. And that is really unfortunate about Ender's Game, which I have been meaning to read. SIGH.

Hello! I just made this username for the first time so I have no idea what to shorten it to. I’m in 18 year old in Canada who works at the local library and the computer store. I only really speak English, having failed to absorb much French. I started reading SSSS a few years back, I’ve also read ARTD while waiting for updates. 
 Hopefully I’m not too late to the party, i never knew about this place until the calendar got posted.

Hello!

I found SSSS like four or five days ago, read all of it, then read all of “a redtail’s dream,” and finished with reading over the development log for “City of Hunger.”

I absolutely fell in love with the art and story.

I’m from the USA, and I am an aging punk who listens to mostly punk, hardcore, industrial, and reggae music; has played in many bands over the years, but has been on a creative hiatus for about five years.

I’ve also been a life long player of table top rpgs, and prefer post-apocalyptic, horror and giant robots over fantasy.

Cheers

PS : I speak American English, and some very bad Spanish, and know smatterings of a few other languages but only enough to get me into trouble.
