Hello everyone!

You may call me Cliodna. I am a 21-year old female from Estonia. I've been watching Minna on deviantART for years, but only recently gave her webcomics a try, plowed through both of them and loved every page.

My hobbies are mainly art and roleplaying, with a side of prehistory and animation. I've LARPed a bit in my life, as well as played Pathfinder and DnD, with the biggest obstacle being that until recently I lived in an area with no other roleplayers in the vicinity. I mostly do freeform or semi-freeform roleplays in Skype or roll20. I draw illustrations of my characters, as well as scenes from my stories and roleplays and dream about learning to make cartoons. As a kid I wanted to become "the one who catches the Loch Ness monster". The urge to do so has passed, but I've held an interest in dinosaurs ever since.

I've recommended SSSS to my roll20 gaming group, which includes an icelander who seemed pleased to see his country represented. I love how this comic treats finnish magic. My favorite character is Lalli and I half-jokingly ship him with Emil.

I am currently in the middle of weaving some headcanon regarding tiny surviving Estonian settlements in Saimaa and their attempts to clean Gogland. I'm considering writing it all up and publishing it somewhere on the forum, but I'm afraid that my national pride would shine through like a cornflower-colored barnswallow-patterned beacon thus clouding my judgement. :P

Welcome to the forum! You may have already seen these, but there's a Survivor Colony thread that you might like to share your Estonia theories there :D We also have LOTS of art threads!



We also have a SSSS-based RP thread that you might find interesting, and I know that there's a group of D+D players somewhere around here... I hope that helped, and have a wonderful time on the forums! :))

Hello friendly hungarian! Thank you for the welcome. Am I the first one of my kind to the party?

Thank you for the warm welcome. :) I'm already most of the way through the survivor communities forum thread (which offers a lot of ideas) and I've got my eyes set on the Self-inserts thread. I'll definitely be checking out the art threads and the roleplay as well, though I can't promise that I'll join either because of time constraints.

Welcome to the forum! D20 is a great hobby. Ufortunately the work with making an SSSS one has stalled at the moment but who knows, maybe you'll join us for a game at some point.

Does that mean I can party with the cute boys now? :O
I'd be delighted to join an online tabletop game at some point and hope that the work on it continues. I despise filling character sheets, but playing itself is fun.

Terve!
My name is Syrah (well not really, but in here anyway), I'm sixteen years old (for real) and was born in Germany.
I am however currently spending a gap/excgange year in Finland, and even though I've only been here for a couple of weeks I've really enjoyed  my time so far.
I have only stumbled about this magnificent piece of art a while ago, but I read the available pages in two days, aRTD in one day and then both for a second time. Yes, one could call me a binge reader.
I just love everything about Minnas comics:
The art stile (probably doesn't need an explanation), the setting (friggin Fenno-Scandinavia + Iceland! Where else do you see that?), the characters (or my beloved children as I call them) as well as the story (Or stories. aRTD was awesome as well.)
Well, I hope we'll have a good time together and be able to enjoy a long time of amazing webcomics by Minna.
Heipa!

Wow, this place is a lot bigger than I thought 0_0 I've been thinking about going to these forums for quite a while, but never really did. Now I realize that they're quite big, feels like a daunting task to get started XD.


Anyways, hi, my name is Hans, but you can call me Rawen if you'd prefer that (a lot easier to remember, since it's part of my username :P), and I'm 20 years old. I just finished a bachelor in history, but I found out half-way through the bachelor grade that I don't really want to work with history, so I'm going to uni again next year to do biology. I'm Norwegian, born and raised in Bergen and all that.

I started reading SSSS when it first came out, as I had been reading Redtail's before that. My hobbies are... well, the main ones would be writing, drawing, reading, playing and listening to music, learning about different subjects (Biology, chemistry, history, psychology and law being my favorite topics) and playing video-games. I speak Norwegian (and understand Danish and Swedish as a result), English and German, as well as can read and understand some Icelandic.
