Nanashi, hello and welcome! You should be fine here, they are nice folk and have been very patient with my lack of forum skills. And your skills and interests will be very welcome here. I’m a bit of a myth and folklore nerd myself, there are many of us here, and much interesting conversation!

Hi everyone!
I’m new to the forum and not positive on how it all works yet so bear with me, please.
I’ve been reading SSSS since last March, I believe, but I’m a pretty anxious person so I only just joined the forum.
I’m from the Pacific Northwest, and unfortunately I only speak English, though I hope to learn more languages soon. I draw, read, and write, and I’m passionate about mythology and folktales, which is part of what brought me to SSSS in the first place.
Hello Nanashi! Welcome! No need to be anxious, tough. This is a very friendly place! :) We will surely love to see your drawings and written works whenever you share them.

(Isn't it funny/ironic that a place based on a comic full of trolls ends up being the most troll-free that I know?)

Hello and welcome to the forum, Nanashi person! There's nothing wrong with being anxious, that's like about half of us here.

Welcome welcome, Nanashi! (Hooray, more mythology-nerds!) :))
I think RanVor is quite right about the half-of-us-being-anxious-thing, so no worries. Looking foreward to seing your art and stories!

I am a College Student from the Philippines.

I love this comic so far after I got into it. I'd been meaning to for a while. I want to get my friends into reading this sometime. It's great.

I'm a big SF (Speculative Fiction) fan and love works that play around with language. I'm actually a bit of a writer who just worked up the desire to actually publish my stuff.

Can anyone guess the context of my username?

Welcome to the forum, AndrogynousAutarch! No, I will not guess the context of your username. Good luck to anyone who tries, though.

Hello and welcome to the Forum, AndrogynousAutarch! I know what both of the words mean, but have no clue as to the context of the name. Very curious!

Welcome welcome, AndrogynousAutarch!!! While you have inadvertently taught me a new cool word (autarch!), I am not sure what the context of your name might be (do we get to find out even if no one guesses correctly :3?)

Hello and welcome, Androgynous Autarch!

This is a good place to give a try to publishing some of your writing! The fan-fic oriented works go to the SSSS Scriptorium thread on the SSSS board, while other, non-SSSS work is welcome to the Forum Scriptorium thread on the General board!

As for your nickname... I seem to have a vague recollection of someone who is the Autarch in Iain M Banks’ Culture world, but I can’t put my finger on it. Then there’s Gene Wolfe’s Autarch. Is this even close?

You got It!

The Autarch is the leader of the Commonwealth society in Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. His appearance has been described as androgynous. I will say no more for those who might be interested in reading.


Thanks for telling me about the scriptorium! I'll take a nice look at it. Having a good time so far.
