Hello, I'm a young, "slightly" abnormal Finn who enjoys stories in every form: music, comic, book, movie... There's not really anything special about me, I like drawing but I'm not very good at it, I try to play the piano but I'm too lazy to study the theoritical stuff, and I like to write but it almost always ends up being something really weird. :D

SSSS is one of my newest discoveries, but now I'm a really big fan. I can't get over Tuuri's cuteness. Or Lalli's. Or Emil's. Or Reynir's... Okay, you get the idea. Heh.

But yeah, I've never really been to a forum before, much less an English one, so I'm kind of nervous... My English may be bad (thankfully not as bad as my Swedish). Hopefully I can hold a converstation! :)

Welcome, LunaJei! Sounds as if you will fit right in here. Don't worry too much about the English - there are lots of people coming from other languages, and folk are understanding and helpful. As you interact your English is bound to improve! Welcome!

I shall cease to lurk, and actually say hello and I have joined the forums. I have just spent some time trying and failing to work out how to add an avatar to my profile. Please advise.

I am older in years. I enjoy taking my daughter to Steampunk events.

I love this comic, and love the comments community. You are kind, imaginitive, cheering and funny. Will you all marry me?

Welcome, NoFaceKnitter! I had the same problem, being totally technoincompetent, and asked one of the folk running the forum for help. They were able to give me instructions. Don't know if the process is the same after all the forum-mechanics updates. I'd try going to the 'Help' section, and if you can't find anything, asking the current forum administrators.

(Welcome!) Are you having problems to prepare a suitable image (there are size and format restrictions that I don't remember off the top of my head), or to perform the actual uploading procedure?

If you follow this link and click the upload image button next to where it says personalized picture. The forum should resize the image for you.

This looks liken the place for introductions so I guess I'll jump in here.
Hello~ I'm Erin, a wannabe author from California who just found SSSS like last week after binge reading the entire thing in one sitting until 2 am. 
I jumped into the tumblr community first (I'm the-Lord-of-the-pies if anyone else hangs out there) and then joined comments a few days ago and decided to suck it up and join the forum c:

I've never been a major forum user ever but I hope I'll get sucked in here because the community from what I've seen and heard is awesome and i can't wait to really get into the swing of things!

Welcome!!

Just so you know, almost everyone who is an avid user and poster on this forum started off with something like "I've never been on a forum before..." or "I will probably just lurk forever..." and then they were sucked in never to see the light of day again :D

In fact that was me as well. I had never used a forum before and I was really not a "forum person" and welp. Now here I am.

Feel free to take a look around. We have several writing threads and the people here are really nice. Your cookies will probably arrive shortly.
