Hello everyone! I am excited to be joining the fan forum at last! My name is Christina and I am from Washington state. I am a college student and a year younger than Lalli and Emil. I've been reading SSSS since the middle of August this year, but I only just recently started exploring the forum. I also finally read aRTD and it is fantastic!! Though I'm sure I probably don't need to tell you that. I like to think that I'm an artist, so sometimes I draw SSSS fanart, but I won't have too much time to do so very frequently. And finally, though I have lived my whole life in Washington, I have always dreamed of learning Swedish and traveling to Sweden, because that is where my family is from. (Part of the reason I enjoy SSSS so much is because it reminds me of my Scandinavian roots). Pleased to meet you all!!!!

Welcome! I have a feeling you will fit in perfectly here. I have seen your art too and I like it! I hope you will stick around and make lots more :)

Hi, hello, welcome fellow Washingtonian! Which side do you live on?

Also, I believe that Duolingo has a Swedish course, if you want to do that. There's also probably a Swedish thread in the Language Board.
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Thank you, fellow Washingtonian  ;D I live about an hour away from Seattle, so I'm from the west side. And thanks for the language helps recommendations!! I've checked out Duolingo and they've been really helpful so far.

Jenny Islander here.  Alaskan, speak English and a little Spanish (and some Quenya if that helps).  Generally can't stand gore and horror, but heard good things about SSSS and so far I like it.  I enjoy post-apocalyptic scenarios involving people who act like people, not B-movie cardboard characters.

Welcome Jenny :) I think you're not the only one who had learnt some Quenya... but I'm not sure, I'll let the others say.
Haha, Stand Still. Stay Silent isn't gore or horror ;) Or I won't be a fan reading.
Anyway, have a welcome cookie ! :squirrelcookie:

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here. I don't know Quenya, but I am trying to learn Sindarin. (Argh why are there so many elvish dialects)

Welcome, Jenny Islander. Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo, and all that. While I have a Quenya username, I have merely dabbled in the language, and am much more proficient with Tengwar than I am with the vocabulary or grammar, to my deep regret.

What Aul said. Nice to see another fellow Tolkien fan!
I've got a little Sindarin, but not enough grammar to make actual sentences -- mostly vocabulary scraps.
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

If you're looking to learn grammar and sentence structure, I can highly recommend this:http://sindarinlessons.weebly.com It is what I have been using to learn.

THIS IS EXTREME GOOD TAKK
I had been using a PDF that somebody whipped up but it was hard to keep track of where I was and that made it less motivation.

YES IT IS MOST BEST!
You're welcome! I am surprised that you had not seen it before, It's the first thing that shows up for me when I search up "Learn Sindarin". Also on that site they have a dictionary of all known/speculated Sindarin words which is very useful. Also, I made a sindarin learning thread over here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=674.0

You are an excellent person. :D
The reason I hadn't seen that was that instead of going "I wanna learn Elvish! Google!" I went "oooo this website that I am on is really interesting and hey! there's a textbook! Sure, I'll download it, why not?"

Ah, yes. Always look at all your options first, cause sometimes the first you see isn't the best.  :-\
