Hello all!
Here and pretty much everywhere, I go under the name WrittenEmber. You can call me that, or just Ember. I'm a year older than Onni, about as tall as Emil or Lalli, and the only person on the team with hair shorter than mine is Tuuri. If the rash illness strikes I'll be out of luck, since I currently reside in the snowless, troll-friendly desert regions of the southwestern US. I also have no cats, though other critters abound.
I came to SSSS after reading aRTD, a comic I first found just about the time that Bear showed up at the Foxes' family meeting. I set it aside with the intent of coming back when it was further along. Imagine my surprise -- and pleasure -- when I rediscovered the comic only to learn that it had not only advanced significantly, but was actually complete! And that the same creator had begun another story! Naturally, as soon as I finished my aRTD binge, I came to check out SSSS. This was during the troll attack on the Dalahästen train, and I was so intrigued by everything going on that I immediately undertook a binge-read from the beginning. Needless to say, it left me hooked. It is one of the few webcomics that I keep up with on a daily basis (the only other being Girl Genius); for most comics, I only catch up every few months, sometimes only once a year or even longer. But I can't stay away from SSSS for more than a day or two.
When not reading SSSS, my hobbies include reading, writing, archery, felting, and too much internet. I dabble in language learning, but have yet to become conversant in anything. I like to collect things, play mobile and PC games, and watch documentaries. I'm pretty decent at calligraphy, unpracticed at piano, and a happy mess at watercolors. I always hike with my lightning-struck walking staff in hand. International travel is a long-term goal of mine; in fact, I'm toying with the idea of making Worldcon 75 my first trip.
I do read the Disqus comments, but rarely say anything myself. I usually read from my phone, which makes it difficult to comment, and I often don't have time enough to properly catch up with the discussion anyway. I'm hoping to be more active here on the forum, however, since I enjoy actually taking part in the conversation.
