Well, hello (or Privetstvuiy!)! I'm Alexey Shiro, 29&0,5 years old, from Russia. By education and career I'm biologist - plant selection & genetic to be precise - and have a Ph.D. in agricultural sciences. As a hobby, I'm interested in history, military history, science fiction & retro-technology.

I stumbled upon the SSSS several years ago, but at this time my English was still pretty imperfect, so only recently I rediscovered it again. I was truly impressed by the absolutely awesome worldbuilding, put in this comics, very "alive" characters and plotlines. So, after several days of reading I finally became bold enough to register here.

So, hello from Mother Russia! And yes, we also have pretty cold areas to make a stand... ;)

Dilandu, hello and welcome! We have quite a few Russian Minnions, maybe you will meet some of them. There are some who are into cosplay and writing fanfic and doing crafts and art, you might like to explore those threads here on the Forum.

Thank you! It would be interesting to meet them, yes!

Well, unfortunately I'm not into cosplay, but into fanfiction a bit... and 3D modelling, also.

I believe we have a Forum thread for 3D models. And of course we have Purple Wyrm, who does Lego.

Welcome to Dilandu!  It can be exhausting to try to interact in a non-native language, so many kudos to you.

Thank you! No, not really exausting anymore - I understood english near perfectly, but still have some problems with writing on it... So, please, be patient to my possible language mistakes here.  :)

We are a lot not being native speakers, and the ones who have always talked English are very kind and patient with us and our mistakes :) Don't worry, just try, you will importe.

Heya folks! I'm Morgan, I'm from Canada, and I really need to stop writing things in only Times New Roman! I'm in my final year of high school and I hope to be an engineer when I graduate. (Maybe for the Canadian coast guard!) I really enjoy drawing and writing myself, and hope to make my own comic on the side. I also have my 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo so that's fun!

I saw everyone was mentioning the languages they speak, so I'll do that too. I consider my first language to be English, but I've been going to a fully french school since I was 4 or 5. So I'm quite fluent in both languages. I've also tried to learn German, but I don't have much time to do that haha.

I discovered SSSS when I was browsing Hiveworks several months ago for inspiration and experience for my own comic (exposure to see different techniques, reading comics in general, etc) read a couple pages, and decided to order Book 1. Once my copy got here, I read it and fell in love immediately with the series.
