Welp, I just joined the forum, so thought it'd be cool to write one of these!

Heyo, the name's Lucy (call me Nneoh if you want) and I'm an Internet lurker from the Land Down Under, a.k.a Australia! I'm 17 years old and use she/her pronouns if anyone wants to know.

I found SSSS through an ad on Flight Rising, read it all in a week and loved it! I'm a huge fan of Nordic culture and post-apocalyptic stories, so the comic is definitely right up my alley.

I'm a high school student currently studying a myriad array of subjects, but my main jams are anything related to history/geography/politics, English and learning other languages. I'm a native English speaker currently studying Japanese, and I know a few profanities in Icelandic and Finnish. In the future I'd like to learn a Nordic language and either Mongolian or Kazakh.

I love reading, writing my own stories (I might share some of them here if that's okay), drawing (even though I suck), playing video games and messing around on the Internet. Looking forward to getting to hang out with you all!

Welcome, Drekaavoxtur!  Do you feel like telling us the derivation of your Forum name? 

Your interests are also sure to find matches here in the Forum -- especially your language-learning plans.  Moreover, there are already several Australians prominent on the Forum.  Before long, there may be a critical mass for an SSSS Meet-Up in the Lucky Country.  :)

Have fun exploring, and don't hesitate to ask for suggestions if you feel like it.

Lucy, welcome to the Forum! And another Australian - excellent! There are several of us here in SA, and others in most of the other States. Maybe we could have a meetup one day, there must be enough of us by now. I've been part of a few small meetups, but mostly by accident - other SSSS readers who also share some of my other interests, such as the Mediaeval Fairs.

And new writers and artists are always welcome!

We should invite the Kiwis as well, make it a Trans-Tasman meetup!

Excellent idea, Wyrm! I'd especially like to meet Wavewright in the flesh. And you, and Dai, Benbah and Paul...... and all the rest.

Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone! I'm currently based in VIC at the moment, and a possible meetup sounds cool!
As for Sunflower's question about my forum username, it's derived from the Icelandic words for Dragon Fruit- I was messing around on google translate earlier last year and came up with the name, and dragons are another interest of mine :)

Thanks, urbicande!
Is that morse code in your profile? And if so, does it mean "Are you busy?" I was trying to look up the abbreviation QRL, but that was all I could find.

It is and it does!  I'm a ham radio operator in my copious free time.

And welcomeSSSS to both Lucy and Katarzyna!

Lazy8, that is an extremely silly looking dragon fruit! I grow them (though not ones that look like that!). Mine are really suffering from the cold at present, but hopefully will survive to fruit in summer.

And Lucy, that is a delightful derivation for a username.

So I thought I need to introduce myself properly, as in the comments that went... a little awkard (just for me, talking with people feels strange)
Hello! I'm Ira, I live in Moscow, Russia and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SSSS, THIS FORUM AND ALL OF YOU. Just the fact that you exist makes me really happy because you all seem to be so nice and caring and interesting
I stumbled across SSSS in June 2016 during my Great Webcomic Discovery (over 100 webcomics in 3 months). Well, not directly across SSSS but its Russian translation. Unfortunately, the translation tends to stop for months so after waiting for half a year I decided that I need to gasp read the comic in English. Aaaand in June 2017 I finally caught up! Still happy about it. Yeah, very interesting story, I don't even know why I wrote this
I love computer games, Terry Pratchett, everything about Scandinavia, cats and telling people a lot of personal information :) I'm fluent in Russian, can talk in English and have recently started learning Swedish. A long time ago I used to do a lot of interesting things like drawing and writing but now I'm too lazy and too unconfident more interested in watching how other people do it. However, I'm pretty anxious about talking with people - not just telling them stupid jokes or facts they're likely to forget in five minutes - so I don't think I'll be very active here and in the comments. Still, I'm glad I'm doing all this socialising stuff because (and I already said that) you're grrrrrrreat :)
Oh, and one more thing. The only reason I live is stories. All kinds of them (meaning books, series, comics, films, games and so on) and especially the one about six folks and a cat in a tank. Looks like only stories provide me with some kind of meaning, sense or reason. Don't know what to do with that so just... note that some girl on the internet would be glad to listen to you
Now THAT turned out unexpectedly big! Oh I just want to cosplay Reynir and apologize for half an hour ._.
