Are there many Bay Area folks here?

No, in terms of *declared* locals I think it's just you and me so far.  I've seen a couple of members north and/or east of the Bay Area (on the map I couldn't pin it down to better than Gold Country-Sacramento-ish), and a couple more down by Gilroy and points south.

I'm kind of surprised there aren't bigger numbers, given the strong geek vibe of the Bay Area.   ??? But I'm sure SSSS will find its audience all in good time.

I found SSSS on a friend's recommendation last fall, and am madly in love with it.  I've read it through three times (working on a fourth) and it's just.  So fabulous.  I'm so glad Minna's able to post so regularly, it would be MURDER on my soul if this only updated once or twice a week.

Uhh, Kata Kissa, I don't know how to tell you this, but... Minna's going on a 2-week chapter break soon...

Is that the interactive map I saw once in the SSSS comments? Where is that? I tell everyone who will listen about SSSS, so there will be more of us in no time!

I know  T_T  But at least it's only for 2 weeks, and not consistent, you know?  The occasional break is okay when there are 4-5 days of updates a week normally.

The link to the map is in the first post of this thread:
http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=245.0

(Note that you don't have to be a Forum member to post there, so the pins aren't a 1-for-1 reflection of Forum members.)

I see we have one (unnamed) fan in Marin County, and others in Sacramento, Gilroy, Santa Cruz, and near Modesto, plus someone 'way up in the foothills.  Otherwise, the next nearest mapped fans aren't till Santa Barbara, Reno, or Oregon.  (But nobody from Portland?!?  Someone needs to tell Fred, Carrie, and the Mayor!)

Aaaaaand that's what I get for jumping straight to the end. Thanks! And yes, the Mayor! He would TOTALLY get into SSSS. Although, I'm not sure he would like the horror bits.

Actually, I saw a picture of Indiegogo's offices, and they had hung a banner for A Redtail's Dream from the ceiling
Wait, what? :o Would that photo(?) happen to have been published?

I knew that Minna's a rather major player in their "comic" section, but ... !

Hello to everyone here!

I finally decided to join the fan forum!
I go by the name Incanus01 in the comments section of the comic but here I chose to use my first name. :)

I have been following Minna's fantastic comics ever since I stumbled upon A Red Tail's Dream comic site through some link in another webcomic and have been reading her work ever since.

Looking forward to acquainting myself with this place and all the people here. By a quick glance this looks like a fun set up with language subforum and all.

Hello Nimphy! Nice to see a fellow bard around these parts! :)

*hands a cookie*

It's a dangerous business, Nimphy, going to a fan forum. You step onto that road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. For hours and hours at a time.

Which is the reason I have not come to participate here earlier. I have been quite busy and I know I'll be hanging out here with your guys dangerously much if I get all immersed. But in the end I absolutely had to join. ;)

Pfft! Addiction? You fear addiction? Do not worry. Soon, you'll be overwhelmed with joy to be addicted to this wonderful corner of the Internet!

Also, for extra addiction, may I invite you over to the Chat?
