Alright, deep breath, und nochmal moin!

Some of you probably saw me flail around the disqus section in all my newbie glee. I found SSSS via a suggestion on FFA a bit more than a month ago and read aRTD on a weekend break shortly after. It's been a while since I got so completely hooked on anything that isn't Tolkien, which has been my main fandom for the last 15 years or so. And since I seem to be here to stay (I even started on my first SSSS fanfic last night, which means it's serious), it's about time I finally made my introduction on the forums.

About me... I'm a bit younger than Sigrun, from Northern Germany, tea-addict and happy servant to a four-footed purr machine. I studied English Literature & Linguistics and Classical Archaeology at Hamburg University, and am currently working as a teacher/translator/integration coach-y person (technical term, that!) for the refugees in my hometown. It's both lovely and emotionally taxing, which is probably one of the reasons I've fallen so hard for SSSS and been around so much. Nothing beats a cheery post-apocalypse webcomic with fantastic worldbuilding to sink my teeth into for escapism! :D Personality-wise I'm... a pretty exact replica of Tuuri - short, stubby, cheerful, prone to bouts of excitement and eeee-ness, (although my hair is longer and I wouldn't have the heart to tell little kids that they're adopted). Heh.

On the comic, the art blew me away first, then I fell in love with the world and the characters. Sigrun and Lalli are my faves of faves, while my faves are... the entire team and supporting cast; they all have aspects that I love to pieces - but I'm developing a whowly new appreciation of Onni... which, given the recent pages isn't a big surprise, I don't think.

Okay, I think that'll do. Happy to answer any questions, and happy to be here!  :)

Welcome, Elleth! Greetings from a fellow FFA-goer. : D

I know what you mean about the whole cheerful post-apocalypse thing. SSSS is just so... cozy, somehow, even with all the creepy moments, and it's just so hopeful and uplifting.

(Also ahhh you've started writing something? What kind of something? Whatever it is, I am totally looking forward to that. *_* )

Anyway - looking forward to seeing you around here. < 3!

And you do love Sigrun, excellent.



I expect I've been happily second-hand-enjoying your commentary on FFA and might have even comented once or twice.

(And yeah, I need to do a re-read now that I feel so so much more about Onni, heh.)

It's good to see that there's still space for new people and that I'm not the only one. :)

Hi! People said I should come here, so I did! I am very very new, please treat me kindly!
My name is Grey-cat (obviously) and I am only as old as my writing craze, before which I had no life. Besides telling stories, I enjoy making art and listening to music. I am American, and I know a teensy-weensy amount of French. Right now I'm learning Finnish, a hobby entirely inspired by Lalli's awesomness.
Other than that, I'm kinda shy, and I've only just gotten around to joining the SSSS community, but so far everyone's been so nice! Thank-you for your kindness! :)

Welcome, Grey-cat!
Finnish is an awesome language! A biiiit too difficult for me, though (I had to give up on it). Good luck with it. : D
Looking forward to seeing you around the forum! /o/
