Um, hi! i'm new to the forum, but i've been following the comic since about the time the ghosts started following the team last chapter.  ;) The fandom, from what i've seen, has a big reputation for friendliness, so i thought i'd join in on the discussions going on.

i guess to further introduce myself, i like writing and kind of wish i could write fanfiction more often! i used to a little bit, but years of public and formal education incline me mostly to writing essays these days instead, unfortunately. -_-' i draw a little bit, but mostly go for the standard of "recognizable." i'd love to participate in the exchange of fanwork, but frankly critical analysis and unabashed discussion are what does it for me, so i win out either way, huh? :P um, also i speak a couple of other languages (but not very well), and i'll probably add them as flags to my signature when i figure out how to!

looking forward to finally contributing to the forum with you all instead of just lurking!

Hello and welcome! I had problems with the flags, so make sure there are no spaces in the country name, and that it's all lowercase. Maybe that'll fix your problem?

Welcome to the forum law_of_letters!
 Hope I'll see you around in the art and writing threads!

On the topic of flags, you can find the supported countries in here. If the country of your choosing is not showing, it might not be supported.

Welome welcome, law_of_letters! I hope you enjoy your stay here in the forum.  ^-^ We have a bunch of assorted threads you can participate in if you want (and haven't already found them). There's art, writing, and language threads if you want to join those. :)*totally not trying to pull more people into the language thread, no way!*

Well for example, to get the Wales flag (:wales:), you would type in
Code: [Select]
:wales:
The US flag (:usa:) would be
Code: [Select]
:usa:
The Spanish flag (:spain:) would be
Code: [Select]
:spain:And so on. Does that help?

Edit: it was already said while I was typing this up, but I suppose repetition doesn't hurt XD

What languages do you want to get? After some struggle I found out that for English, you have to write UK in lowercase letters, so you get :uk: and :UK: doesn't work. Also, the flags are only possible in your signature and in messages, not in your personal text.

Hello!  I finally came here from the disqus comments.

Hmm... to introduce myself.  I arrived at SSSS partway through chapter 10.  The comic and the kindness of the fans make me smile and feel warm even when other things are a little rough, and I get the impression from her comments that's at least some of what Minna hopes her work can do for people.  So I thought I'd join the fun!  I'm fairly private about most of my life, but I do like talking about SSSS and related things.

I also have to say I've really enjoyed the fanart and fanfic people have published here, thanks for sharing it!

I don't have much experience with forums, so if you need to point something out or offer me general guidelines or something please do!
