After a while of being too nervous to sign up and post here, I figured it was finally time to fix that! So howdy, I'm Shelby (or Baku if you prefer) and I come from the lovely Commonwealth of Virginia where you can drive from a big city to a field out in the middle of nowhere in approx. 5 minutes.

Welcome Baku! I am also from the Commonwealth! Formerly from one of those big cities, and now out in the middle of nowhere  :P

Hi everyone! I'm Geoff, a 22 year old student living in Brisbane, Australia when I can't escape the city. I've been reading SSSS since the last prologue page went up and finally decided to stop lurking because you all seem like lovely people. Also, cookies.

*nom*
Niiiice cookies.
*nom nom nom*

I speak French to an acceptable level and will be working as an English language teaching assistant in Besançon later in the year. If anyone reading this speaks French, send me a message - I need practice!

Hi. I'm some chick from Michigan that wants to become an aerospace engineer and/or a pilot. I like reading and writing a bunch, and I play bass (poorly). Aside from science and aviation, music is easily my biggest passion. I like copy editing too, for some weird reason. Feel free to make fun of me for this whenever I make a typo.

I speak English. American English. I tried to learn French once, it was a complete disaster. People died. Other things I'm really bad at: geography; drawing; singing; dancing; sports that aren't soccer or tennis; posting in the intro thread before anywhere else; and much, much more.

My best friend (koalalou <3) directed me here after introducing me to SSSS, for which I will always owe her. I'm usually not too big on webcomics (or normal comics), but SSSS really hits all the right notes. I love it.

Anyway, I'm not going to pretend I'm super interesting, but hopefully we'll get along just fine anyway.

D'awww.  You sound interesting to me!  :) Your aerospace knowledge will come in handy discussing tech issues.  We can use a bass player over in our SSSS: The Musical! thread.  And as Forum-Skald, I'm always happy to see more copy editors. 

BTW, what happened to koalalou?  We haven't seen her posting in a few weeks, and we miss her!  She got the self-inserts ball rolling, among other things.

Aw, thanks~ I'll totally toss toss in what I know if the situation arises. It's not the most practical post-apocalyptic profession, though, if we're being totally honest. As for the musical, that sounds awesome, I'll totally check it out. I can't promise that I can join in, though, I'm really not very good. And I've never actually written any music before.

I'm honestly not completely sure. We talked for a few hours the other day, but it didn't come up. Knowing her, she's just been forgetting, though. I'll remind her to pop on next time I talk to her.

Oh, as for the copy editing thing, you can totally feel free to have me take a look at something if you're swamped or just don't want to do it. Nobody believes me when I say I enjoy doing it, but I really do.

I'm Matt, I also want/am studying to become an Aerospace engineer. If you'd like to discuss feel free to shoot me a PM, I don't bite and I do enjoy good talks.

Hi! I have read SSSS and lurked on the board for a few weeks now, and this is my first time posting here.

By the way, I have been kind of wanting to make a thread to compare/contrast SSSS with zombie fiction on the SSSS board, but part of me thinks that would be a bad idea (especially for not having posted here before). Should I go for it?

Why, hello there, young 'un! Welcome to the forum! A welcoming party will be with you shortly, but as for that comparison: you should probably post it on the general discussion board, in my opinion. However, I'll let the Great Almighty Sunflower Skald have the final say.

Anyway, welcome to the rapidly growing team!

*whoosh*  Did someone call? 
EveryZig, I agree with DaneMurgen.  Discussing SSSS in the context of zombie fiction is a fine topic; it could plausibly go in the SSSS board, but let's put it in General Discussion just because that's a bit less cluttered.  (Also, GD has other book/movie/video game discussions.)

Welcome to the Forum!

Hi there,
my name's Anton. I've been reading SSSS for a few days now and I've been hooked frm the first few pages,
so i decided to join in on the forum so I can actually talk to people about the thing :D I'm also hilariously bad at introductions, but I'm trying. 
I'm a german punk and part-time viking, a massive nerd and a student of the literary arts. So yeah. Hello and stuff.
