Hello, fellow librarian buddy! :D Welcome to the forums~

Ah hi Solovei! Always nice to meet fellow librarians (or information specialists)!

I can't wait to explore this place. It seems pretty huge and a bit maze-like at the moment but I know from experience it takes some time to navigate new forums.

Instrue praeceptis animum, ne discere cessa.
Nam sine doctrina vita est quasi mortis imago.

Arm your mind with teachings, do not stop learning.
For without learning life is but an image of death.

Sil' oppia vail' elo tää kuni kuoleman on kuvajainen.

You might want to note that there's a server switch upcoming, which occasion shall be used to update to the latest version of the forum software, and installing an extension module that allows content tagging is planned along with it. Whether you want to play tag with the old content as you catch up, or prefer to wait 'til the maze has been slain and lies flattened before your eyes, is up to you to decide, I suppose. ;)

Hello to everyone here!

I finally decided to join the fan forum!
I go by the name Incanus01 in the comments section of the comic but here I chose to use my first name. :)

I have been following Minna's fantastic comics ever since I stumbled upon A Red Tail's Dream comic site through some link in another webcomic and have been reading her work ever since.

Looking forward to acquainting myself with this place and all the people here. By a quick glance this looks like a fun set up with language subforum and all.

-Mikko-
Mikkoooooo!  :D  *dances around werdly*
Glad you finally came by, and I hope you like it here!
*Honorary forum-Thor welcome*
Feel free to PM.

Wait, what? :o Would that photo(?) happen to have been published?

It was on https://www.themuse.com/companies/indiegogo but now that link just redirects you to the homepage. I think company profiles are a paid service on themuse, so maybe Indiegogo isn't active now.

However, I did some serious googling and found this:



I'm not sure if that's the same one I saw. In my head it was different, both the banner and the room, but I could be remembering it wrong. In any case, it was clearly Ville's incomparable cute-power that led me to Minna. We're supposed to be looking at how cool their office is, but I can't see past the dog.

Random way to find out about a comic, for sure.

Aaaah, a chat! /trots into that immediately

Also that is a really cool picture, otter, it's great that that picture (or one like it anyway) led to at least one person reading Minna's work. :D

Hmmmm. That particular photo was taken 30-Mar-2014 (says the EXIF data contained in the file) and the rebranding depicted was publicly announced around that date, too - by that time, the aRTD books had already been shipped to the backers. (And since I don't remember the dog!Ville postcard appearing electronically on the campaign page, ever, chances are that some Indiegogo staff member backed the campaign himself and that's where they got the artwork from in the first place.)

FWIW, this is what their logo looked like while the aRTD print drive was running.

Good detective work! By the time I saw the banner, the SSSS campaign was in full swing, so it would have been after the rebrand.

The link to the map is in the first post of this thread:
http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=245.0

I see you there, with the sunflower! :) Clever. I used to live in the bay area, but relocated up to Oregon years ago. Would love to get together if I was closer. As it is, there's no one on the map from my area. I'm trying to convert minions left and right, but have only got one friend into it. It was rather wonderful to show him a bit of fan art and have him say, "That's Lalli, right?"

Ahhh hello! I've been lurking through the forum for a while but now I decided to be brave enough to write something, haha.

Officially I'm ich (without a capital I!) but I use mureena for registering purposes, so you can call me either. ("Mureena" is Finnish for moray eel if anyone's interested.) I'm 20, from Finland, and I've been reading SSSS since around the end of second chapter/beginning of the third. Currently I'm not studying anything or working but I'm trying to apply to a college this year.

Other than my obsession over SSSS I'm into animangos (a practical myanimelist link) and drawing, while my biggest dream in life is to own a dog.

I haven't been on actual forums for years so I apologize if I start to sound like Tumblr lingo, haha. I'm trying to get more active on the forum because none of my friends read SSSS and I need people to talk to..! (??? ) Let's obsess together get along oK

Welcome ich (you should have made that your username, you could impersonate the admin). I was going to comment that your avatar is, uh, interesting but your myanimelist avatar is even more interesting. There's an anime thread over here. It says on your myanimelist that you've watched over 287 series, is that actually right?

It is, actually! Most of them are movies or OVAs (or other specials) so there's a lot of one episode things. I consume anime for living. (and i laughed at that video im we ak)

But yeah you most likely have, haha.. . . ... I overreact over Emil/Lalli things (YOUR COMIC FOR EXAMPLE SWEATS) and I've been rolling on the fanart side there!

Thank you both you're too nice ;7;
