Welcome, Coda!  I'm sure the other Canadians here will be happy to add to their number.

So you're a musician!  What do you play?  And are you aware of the music-sharing thread, the SSSS Band/Orchestra thread, and the ongoing project to make SSSS Vol. 1 into a musical?

And welcome to online fandom.  I was never involved with anything like this either, then *poof* less than a year later I'm one of the site admins!  (SSSS is quite addictive, I'm warning you.   ;) )

We work hard to create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere and be open to newcomers.  If you ever have a question or concern, please feel free to post a query or PM me or anyone else.  Meanwhile, have fun!

I'm 22 and Canadian. I finished my degree in literature and am working on getting certification in editing/publishing, but that's not going to happen for quite a while. For now I'm mainly focused on playing in my local concert band. I write a lot and draw a little and actually stumbled into the art thread here before this one (whoops).

I think I found SSSS through another website that was giving a rundown of webcomics with really beautiful art, but it was last year and I don't remember where I read it. I immediately fell in love with Minna's art, and just after that with the characters, so I decided to stick around!

This is the first time I've made an account for a fan forum. I'm not sure I'll be super prolific as far as posts go (I'm naturally pretty quiet), but the people here seem really nice, and I look forward to exploring the forum!

Croeso!
Sunflower's already referred you to the music-related threads, but I have to ask as well- what instrument do you play?
Also, just wanted to say that from what little I've seen of it, your art is amazing (kinda art nouveau?) so you'll fit in well.
And uh, as for posting? Haiz said zhe wouldn't be very active too, and just look at xher (is that the right form? .-.) profile.

I am one of the aforementioned Canadians, here to formerly welcome you to the forum. Everyone will laugh when you try to apologize for things, but overall it's a pretty nice place to be :)

Ah I knew I was forgetting something obvious in my introduction post thing--I play alto sax (and piano, but I haven't played in so long that I probably can't anymore)! I hadn't looked into that thread or the project yet (a musical? that's intriguing), so I'll go take a look!

Thank you (both of you)! And I suspected there was a lot of potential for getting drawn in, so it's good to see that confirmed  :D I guess we'll see what happens...

It's working... I probably would've stayed in my normal lurking state, but this seemed like a really pleasant place to be  :) I might fumble formatting/forum etiquette every now and then, so sorry for that in advance!

Thank you! And yes, I...kind of expect that (I apologized in this already oh wow. Some of my emails to professors were composed almost entirely of apologies; I just can't help it). But at least there are people around who will understand the impulse; that's something!

Lainer3, Mélusine, Curry: thank you all so much! I look forward to being here  ;D

Are you ME? Most of my emails/PMs lately have been like

"Dear [person]
Sorry for [bothering you/replying late/contacting you at all].

[Something something something here]

Sorry again, [can you do this/answer this question/do something?]"

Seriously though, welcome and ... uh ... welp, there goes your free time.

And the worst thing that'll happen if you apologise too much is that people will start calling you Reynir. ;)

That comment Minna made about how Tuuri and Reynir would just apologize to each other until the end of time? That has happened to me. In real life. Several times.

YES exactly that! That is a rough transcription of every single email I've sent over the past few years (sometimes in trying to dilute the apologies I'd start thanking them profusely instead. It...it wasn't better).

*Taps microphone* Is this working?

Hrrrrmmm. So. I'm Dalahästen, the badass chainsaw-train. Except that I am not a train nor that badass.

I usually don't share too much information online, but I am not from North America nor Asia. I guess that shortens the possibilities :D

I'm 23, I love playing and listening to music, reading webcomics (no way, Sherlock!) and playing games. I am currently an engineering student and hopefully will be able to cross out the "student" part somewhat soon.

You've all been super nice to me even though I am no artist in the fanart thread, so I took the suggestion and came here for an introduction ^-^ it's really nice meeting (?) you all. <3

Croeso hefyd!
Another musician? Well, you've probably already seen the music threads, but I've got to ask (like I ask everyone)- what instrument(s) do you play?
And gaming's cool too, we've got a Steam group here: https://staging.steamcommunity.com/groups/ssss_fans
If you feel like talking to any of us, our IRC channel is here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=ssss
