Hello everyone!

As I mentioned in the comment section last night, someone in another forum mentioned how this might not be the best time to read the prologue of SSSS. Given that I'm also rather busy in the moment and have deadlines coming up, I naturally had no other choice than spending most of the next few nights reading the entirety of the comic.
I don't know how active I'm going to be here, given that I already spend way too much time in said other forum.

Welcome Unseelie (just as well you're not UnSEALie ;)) and Count! We're getting a nice little cluster of SSSS fans here in Perth.

Welcome to the forum, Unseelie (and hi Count! Glad you got your intro up)

And it is quite funny how we've got a little cluster here in Perth. I first got yeethaw into SSSS, then as she, Count and I all have study periods together, we managed to persuade Count into reading it too so we could all discuss it together (and so he would actually understand our very enthusiastic rambling)

Hello everyone!

I was introduced to S4 by Roisin quite a while back.

I'm a retiree living in south-eastern Australia whose interests include history (notably military and medieval), true crime, and the unusual/weird (though I tend to look on much of the paranormal with a rather jaundiced eye), and RPGs (the games, not the anti-tank weapons). I used to LARP, but no longer, because of age and health and a predilection for parentheses (OK, not that last bit).
I'm also an aspiring novelist (Roisin is my muse) with a number of projects including fantasy, SF, alternative military, and a couple of thrillers. My primary project is a fantasy tetralogy with a two-volume steampunk crossover.

You know there are plenty of Role Playing Games that *include* Rocket Propelled Grenades! ;D

Welcome!

Thank you, Purple Wyrm!

Just so you know - when applied to the anti-tank weapon, RPG doesn't stand for Rocket-Propelled Grenade - that's a backronym. The original Russian term for the weapon is the Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт (Ruchnoy Protivotankoviy Granatomyot), which roughly translates as "Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher."

(Apologies... just my military nerddom (?) manifesting.)

Eeeeeeee! Yastreb, you made it! Hello and welcome, my dear old military nerd. I think you will have the most best fun here - this merry crew know all kinds of interesting stuff, and will talk about anything.

And if you visit Archive of Our Own, you will find that there is quite a bit of Russian language fanfic, in SSSS and other fandoms, just to keep your hand in with the language. And some of my stuff is there too, I’m Tanist on Archive. I would love to see what kind of fanfic you produce once you get deeper into the story. Dunno if you have written fanfic, but to judge by your military history stuff and novels, you would likely be good at it. I only encountered the concept once I joined SSSS fandom, and was nervous about starting to write it, since as you know from our world, most of what I have ever had published has been poetry and factual articles. Again, welcome!
