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.
Good thing I didn't guess, I'd be way off the mark.

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 AndrogynousAutarch! This is a good place to find interesting readers! I'll be looking forward to read your stories.

And I wouldn't be able to find the answer because Gene Wolf is one of the many great writers in my "to read" list. A list that seems to grow and grow, which is good, but also frustrating sometimes. :)

(BTW Jitter I don't recall any character with that name in The Culture series, and a few searches showed no results. But yours is the right answer! Well done! )

Welcome AndrogynousAutarch! I haven´t heard of that book before, I might need to look into it... Looking foreward to reading your stories, and may you be successful at dragging your friends into the fandom I mean convincing them to read the comic! :))

Welcome to the forum, AndrogynousAutarch!
(Wow, that’s a long name! And and an interesting meaning) never heard of the book or the author, however... Better late then never!
(Actually, my own username comes from the stories I write, if anyone is interested, ;)but I have had a hard time translating them from Russian into English, so it’s pretty hard with publishing anywhere.. language barriers...)

Uh helloooo

I joined the forum like a month ago and have been reading SSSS since this May, but I’ve been putting off making a post in this introduction thread (or any of the threads really) for literally the entirety of last month BUT NOW IT IS DONE! Whee.

Now for the actual introduction part:
I’m 15, a girl, from the west coast of the US, I draw things, sometimes worldbuild stuff, and write bizarre poetry sometimes. I also like history-related topics.

I hope I put the right stuff in there?

EDIT: since I’m rather new to forum based talking and post and stuff, I also meant to ask if there’s like a discord server or other chatting method that exists for the SSSS fandom

Welcome to the fan forum, SoggyPanini! It's great to have you here.

Yes, there is an active discord server for SSSS - you can find the link here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=870.0, along with the links to other chatrooms, although I don't know how active the other ones are.

Glad to have your here, SoggyPanini. I'm new here as well and am happy to welcome you here.
The king of all creation fell out of heaven, usurped by a seven headed beast. But the old king shall choose a new, and he will ignite the Third Conquest. He will be flanked by a white and a black flame, His coming will be followed by 108 burning stars. He will bear the terrible heat of the voice in his brow, the mark of his lordliness. He will face the beast—and he will annihilate it.
He will wield the terrible blade of Want, and the pillars of heaven will quake with his coming.
And his name—his

Hello SoggyPanini! We are happy to have you here, and if you'd like to share some of your art or writing, we'll be even happier!

There are the SSSS Scriptorium and SSSS Art museum SSSS-related stuff on the SSSS board, and Forum Scriptorium and Forum Art Museum threads on the General Discussion Board. And then of course the Poetry thread for those bizarre poems of yours :) And as already mentioned, the page comments (by Disqus under the comic page) are active and always welcoming too!
