Welcome aliien and Shepherd! It seems like you will both fit in just fine here. :)

(Shepherd I was that kind of kid too, with an added dash of "that weird girl who draws cats all the time".)

Hi! I'm Gingey, a 19 year old American college student originally from Texas, but living in North Carolina for college at the moment. I've been into SSSS for a couple of weeks now, after seeing one too many posts about this mysterious Scandinavian webcomic with a heckton of coppertops (MY PEOPLE! GINGERS APLENTY!) and cats (MY FAVES) on Elleth's (vefanyar's) tumblr.

Other nerdy things I'm into: the Silmarillion (and Tolkien in general but it's the Silm that does it for me), Star Wars, a couple of other webcomics like Kill Six Billion Demons and Agents of the Realm, and a smattering of other fandoms. (I'm also into The 100, but what can I say, I've got Bury Your Gays PTSD and I think a little bit of me died with Lexa.)

I'm also deaf, so basically I'd die SO FAST in the Rash apocalypse. "Oh dear, Mr. Troll, I sure didn't hear you coming." *dies* I do hear with bilateral cochlear implants, which basically just means I'm a walking grab bag of cyborg jokes. I am open to any and all questions about my ears! :)

My hobbies include reading (anything, but apparently these days a Scandinavian postapocalyptic webcomic at the stroke of midnight) writing, and best of all KNITTING. I am the proud owner of a pair of US 50 needles (aka the BIG NEEDLES THAT LOOK A LITTLE LIKE STAKES?? MAYBE I WOULD SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE AFTER ALL) and if you ever wonder what I'm doing at any given time, chances are I've got a knitting project in my hands.

I also, as a result of the intensive auditory verbal therapy I went through to learn to listen to speak, am a language sponge, so there's a lot of languages that I've learned, half learned, or am still learning (I haven't listed them all), and I am SUPER EXCITED about linguistics so YEAH!! :D

(....I'm going to stop text-screaming excitedly and let the nice SSSS forum people respond to this monologue...)

Hi! Whatever do you knit with size 50 needles?  It sounds like what you'd use for my lost-since abandoned project recycling computer cords into a steampunk waistcoat.

Guys

since some of the post are part of mythology discussion rather than welcoming newbies, I am going to move them over here.

Also welcome to anyone whom I might have missed while I was on holiday :)

Edit: Rosisin I moved the post you requested me to replace, too ;)

Hi Kjeks! Thank you for moving those posts. One of mine also got misplaced onto the last page of the General Discussion thread, and I would take it as a courtesy if you could also move it for me. It's the one about Maori mythology. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm Shepherd (generally refereed to as 'Shep' or 'YOU') and I'm brand new to the fanforum as of today but have been reading these comics consistently since aRTD got rolling. So I figured it was time to lurk myself out of the shadows and engage with people since y'all seem like a pretty interesting lot.



Welcome aboard, Shep! We're looking forward to getting to know you!

Hey, all! I'm SilverTiger, but you can call me Silver, Tiger, or whatever is easiest for you! I'm an almost-30-yo currently living in Texas with my roommate/house mate and our two cats. I work for an old folk's home, but I spend my free time messing around on the internet, which is partially how I found this wonderful comic! I've only been reading it a handful of days, but I plan to stick around a whole lot longer than that.

My hobbies include: collecting pixel pets on the internet (I actually found the comic through a dragon-collecting game called Flight Rising), reading many different webcomics on a semi-regular basis, reading other kinds of books whenever I have a spare moment or several, and cross stitch as well as knitting. I do cross stitch more than knitting, and usually when I'm watching youtube or a movie so I can have something to do while I sew.

I noticed a lot of people talking about languages on here, and I have a very very *very* basic knowledge of German. I always meant to study it properly... one day, I guess!

Anyway, I look forward to meeting you guys as I start posting around and such.

Hi, SilverTiger!
Sounds like you'll fit in great. < 3 Welcome aboard.
(ooh, knitting! There are several of us here with that hobby, including myself. < 3 Always nice to see more knitters around.)

Welcome SilverTiger! Seems like you'll find plenty to interest you here. Also, Flight Rising! That was my major internet hangout before I got completely obsessed with SSSS, hehe. I feel a little guilty, I've sort of abandoned my poor dragons recently.

Hi there, SilverTiger!

I'm happy to try and answer any questions concerning German, should you pick it up again. :)
