I'm a native upstate New Yorker.

Which Upstate?

I'm in the Finger Lakes. (well, not actually in one of them at the moment. I don't think the computer would work too well under water . . . )

From where I live on Long Island, just about everything north of midtown Manhattan is upstate! 
Keep an eye on me. I shimmer on horizons.

Yeah, "upstate" is a relative term.

Not to mention that NYSTate goes east and west as well as north and south; so that places a similar distance north of NYCity can still be a full day's drive away from each other. (Which I expect urbicande and aziraflail know; but people outside the NE USA often don't seem to.)

Hello, All
I have been an avid reader of SSSS since 2013 (when I discovered it on its 12th or 13th page!) Recently I have become much more interested in the SSSS Fanfiction and thought joining forum would be a nice place to start if I have any ideas, comments or questions about SSSS or some of the Fanfiction.
Also, I hail from New England (Boston to be more specific)

Welcome aboard Hukka! If you haven't already seen it Lazy8 maintains a staggeringly comprehensive index of SSSS fanfiction.

Thank You !!
I recently found the list by Lazy8 (@Lazy8 thank you so much for maintaining such a list.)
I have been feverishly reading through the fanfiction on Archive of Our Own.

Hukka, hello and welcome! I think we already have a few readers from in and around 'the home of the bean and the cod', so you may be able to enjoy meet-ups. And as Wyrm said, lots of fanfic, all nicely indexed and linked by Lazy8. I hope you will enjoy being here!

Hi all! I suppose this is the most logical place for my first post!  ;) I haven't been part of a forum for ages, I'm kind of excited. I'm usually known as Libby (despite my screenname xD) and I come from the UK.

I first got into SSSS through aRTD, though I can't remember exactly how I got to aRTD....Probably through a Yuletide rec xD I read everything up to around December 2016 and then had a year's break where I almost forgot about SSSS, then got back into it in a big way. I figured now I'm actually writing fic for it, I should be part of the forum!

Looking forward to hanging out with all of you!

Welcome to the Forum, Libby!  There are three threads for posting links to your fics, the SSSS Scriptorium, the ARtD Scriptorium and the Forum Scriptorium, for more general works.  That said,  The Fanfiction Resource Centre keeps links and discussion that brings together all of our resources.  And of course, many many threads and topics for connecting to other Minnions on a personal level.

Libby/Nightingale, hello and welcome. We can always find room for another fanfic writer! And I think there are quite a few Minnions in the UK - I'm sure there will be more meetups.
