greyaro ace polyamorous nerd

I have zero idea what that means, but welcome! I have a feeling you'll fit right in. So, toes, how many you got?

Hi  ;D.

My name is Arturo, I'm an architect from Mexico. I learned of this comic by a friend that shares my love of the post-apocalypse genre in books/movies/games; although I think that the 'zombies' thing is getting clubbed to death, this is a refreshing take on the trope :D.

There's not much to say about me. I'm a but of a shut-in, but I try to go out every once in a while as to not go crazy, I have a 13 year-old beagle that no one has told him he's old :p, and I enjoy RPGs such as D&D, Deadlands (classic), World of Darkness (both old and new :) ), and Iron Kingdoms.

Welcome! Your name is a Fallout reference, am I right?

Welcome, everybody!
I firmly believe that special snowflakiness is fine as long as you only use the term ironically. ;)
I ALSO COSPLAY LALLI AND 5/6 OF THE CAST))

I refuse to believe there isn't a portly dude in his mid-30s somewhere who doesn't want to cosplay our favorite medic.

Hmm, introduce myself they said. Well physically age wise I'm a certifiable "old fart" however I seem to be like Peter Pan's Lost Boys in that I've never grown up. I got into anime when I was recovering from cancer, from there my son, 10 yrs old at the time, got me into manga, we both discovered web comics and so it goes. He's now 22 and I'm, well never mind. I read way too many, it's so hard to keep up ;) I started reading RTD 3 chapter breaks ago, but just during the breaks, but I finished it last time so I'll have to hang out here for the duration of this one. Reading at work is a pain, I'm behind so much security stuff a lot of things don't make it through or if I click on a link, even a benign one, I get tossed out. And then I forget, see above, to get on from home and follow those links. Oh well. Having read a number of web comics I have to say this is one the best drawn, best illustrated, excellent story line, excellent character development, ones that I have encountered. And 5 days a week updates, just incredible. I hope I can snag a book when they hit the store. Speaking of other web comics, Ashley Cope's Unsounded is another absolutely top notch one. And speaking again of other web comics does anyone have any information on what happened to Chasing the Sunset. It came to a stop Sept 2013 and nothing since from the creators. It will be a real shame if the creators personal circumstances prevent its continuation, but being dead for almost 2 years is not a good sign. Well sorry I digressed. The big thing I need to figure out is how to see picture that the Cosplay thread folks post. I'm a regular volunteer at Anime Boston so I really enjoy seeing what folks are doing. Well enough, me talkative? My wife doesn't think so ;) TTFN

Can you specify it on your signature, please ? :) I hate making mistakes on pronouns.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :). Haiz I love art history, as well as architectural history (I'm actually aiming to earn a Master's Degree in Architectural Restoration); and yes Fimbulvarg, my name is a Fallout reference (New Vegas to be precise :p), one of my favorite games :D.

NICE! I'm more of an artist than a historian, and architecture isn't exactly my strong suit, but architectural restauration sounds awesome! I've already been at the Nidarosdomen Cathedral restoration centre, and it's really cool. They're putting so much work into carving all those gargoyles. i love gargoyles
you'll know where to find me.

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd make use of the chapter break to join the forum.

I am currently in uni as a second year bachelor student, reading Japanese and Chinese Studies.
Despite this, I am not sure I will ever speak both languages... *sigh*
Outside of uni and SSSS, my interests are reading, writing, botany, all kinds of language related info, my pets, ancient history (from time to time), myths and different religions and philosophical theories. Alas, I don't really know a lot about any of those (there aren't enough hours in the day - and I like sleeping too much)!
I have been following Minna's work form the early pages of a RTD and was more than a bit excited when she finally started SSSS.

Well, that's it.
Pleased to make your acquaintances!

Hello all!
So yes, I am Mogram. I'm fourteen, I play french horn and violin (uh, fiddle) and I'm from Australia, on the east coast kinda bit. I've been reading SSSS since the dream sequence when Lalli first encountered Reynir (gosh, that feels like a long time ago!). I'm pretty much a complete newbie to the forum, though I've posted a couple things in the Art Museum.
So yeah, that's pretty much it I guess. Pleasure to meet you all! Have a nice day!
