Thanks for the welcome Moredhel - is that a Raymond E. Feist reference for the username?

I read some Feist because people asked me exactly this. I did take it from Tolkien as I suspect Feist did too.

Aye, no doubt he did - I tend to go with the Feist assumption purely because I've met fewer people using Sindarin than who've read his books. Though there have been vanashingly few of either I've come across.

I’ve read both. And yeah, it seems that few people have, sadly.

Feist's Magician was actually the first fantasy book I ever read and it has stuck with me and my writing ever since. So I can roundly blame him for my favourite creative activity. Kind of.

Funny how bubbles of people go, I ”know” (from web spaces at least) much more people who know Sindarin than who know Feist. Or maybe it’s just that we discuss Sindarin more :)

*waves* hello... hi...!! i've never used a forum like this before i think. sorry lol

i just finished rereading SSSS (again) and felt really down about... you know... all of the stuff with minna and her new projects. this comic means a lot to me; i found it by surprise while lonely and without friends to talk to (we were going through a really rough patch. it's fine now) and the story just clicked with me. it was there for me when i needed something to hold onto. it's very near and dear to my heart, and it's deeply upsetting to know that minna doesn't seem to see the value in something that touched so many people's lives. it honestly broke my heart, especially while reading SSSS again.

sorry to be so negative. what i'm really here to say is that, after scrolling through the comments on the final page and feeling really down, i noticed how many people were inviting other readers to the forums. i knew the forums existed, but i didn't want to join... it's scary to put yourself out there lol. but i think after reading SSSS again, a year after it ended, i changed my mind. i want to talk about this comic with other people. i want to reach out!

i know the forums are still active, at least a little. so here i am...! sorry for writing such a long damn post lol i doubt others have written nearly as much as i have. i tend to get really wordy when it's not necessary. but anyway... hi? and nice to meet all of you :')

Hello and welcome sunreaver, it's nice to meet you too!

I know for me at least and probably for quite a few others here, SSSS was in our lives through some really difficult times and meant a lot to us. While the forums aren't as active as they were at SSSS's peak, we've still got plenty of community on here and people to talk to :)

If you find yourself struggling with forum navigation or posting different things feel free to reach out to me or ask on the forum and we can help you get a hold of it.

Welcome, sunreaver, and a hearty second to everything everyone else has said!

This forum has meant so much to so many of us - a source of information, of support and encouragement, and of sharing. The world is larger, richer, and closer to me because of this corner of the internet!

I hope you'll enjoy your stay here!

Hello sunreaver and welcome!

Like Glass said, he’s also new so there are some pointers I wrote for him on the page before this one. So to avoid repeating myself, I just ask you to take a look at that :)
