Hello! I got up to date with SSSS and already read aRTD, and I still want more, so joining the forum seemed like a good idea~
I'm Seff (or Lacunae, Lacu, Nae, a mix of everything - wichever you prefer), 23 and from South America, so I apologize in advance from any horror mistakes in my sentences.
Basically I came for the the amazing art and interesting story, and I end up staying for the lore and supernatural elements. That's what I actually made me write my first comment on the comic: the weird shadow people. And the magic. (And the community).
So, you'll see me around weird theories and reading lots of folklore(?

Hello, new friend! It's always good to have another someone who enjoys folklore and the like! Please, make yourself at home. :)

Croeso!
If you feel like debating any of those weird theories, we have an affiliated IRC channel here at #ssss!
Otherwise, the SSSS Board has a good deal of theories: headcanons, trolls, etc etc.
See you around!

Hello folks! I am Purple Wyrm - although to be really honest I'm not particularly purple and am not a wyrm (or even a worm). Through such seas of confusion science splashes on!

I stumbled over SSSS last week and speed-read my way through the entire archive, falling completely in love with the story and entire setting in the process. I am now suffering from horrible withdrawal because I have to wait for new episodes. And I am led to believe that there is a terrifying thing called a 'chapter break' that happens from time to time, which may well kill me the next time it occurs. Someone please tell me it's not as awful as it sounds! ;D

I am located in the far antipodes (in that strange and awesome place known to legends as Perth Australia), am far too old to talk about and work as a web developer. I am sadly monolingual and only speak English - Australian English at that, which only barely counts. But I am making a half hearted attempt to learn a bit of German.

I look forward to being a strange and hopefully not too annoying ornament to this forum. Tea and pickles to you all!

Hi! Welcome! The chapter breaks aren't terribly fun, but they do tend to produce an uptick in art/fic/Forum activity, which is pretty great. I know there are several other Australians on here, too. (also, pickles?? with tea??)
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Hello and welcome! /o/ Haaa, yessss, join us in the ranks of having to wait for page-a-day, sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode from anticipation.
You definitely aren't the only Aussie here; I expect you'll see the others around eventually. : D
Looking forward to seeing you around! I'll take the tea, but pass on the pickles. ;p

Thanks for the welcomes folks!

Tea with pickles is an old Australian tradition started in 1789 when Governor Arthur Phillip of the Port Jackson (now Sydney) colony ran out of biscuits just before the arrival of the Second Fleet and had nothing else to serve the arriving captains with.

That is actually a complete lie that I just made up. Tea and pickles were actually the standard welcome gift for newbies at a forum I used to frequent years ago, so I thought I'd share them out here as well ;)

Hi, Purple Wyrm! There are other Australians here. I'm in country SA, down the end of the Barossa where it runs into the Adelaide Hills. I know of at least 2 other Minnions in SA and several in Victoria, and there are others in Tassie and other states, as well as in NZ.

During the dreaded chapter breaks we haunt the forum (art, music, fanfic, chat and so forth), and commiserate with one another in the comments. Join us and have fun!
