when I was drawing the Norwegian 'sonas for 17th may, mom peeked over my shoulder like "what are you drawing?" and I had no idea how to even begin my response. How do I explain I am drawing the self-insert characters of people on a fanforum for a postapocalyptic fantasy webcomic i have been dedicating my life to for the past two months or so
It... would have been a long and complicated answer ? *See herself trying with a lot of "Wait, you have to know that before"* ... Not really answering can be a good choice ^^°

Eeee!  I've "earned my stripes." 

For those who overlook instructions as easily as I do, the chapter-break medals are plugged into your profile  like flags that indicate languages.

Type in : chap3 :, : chap4 :, etc., only omit the spaces between the colons and "chap3".

Sunny, I'll add some instructions to the first post. Thanks!

I wish I had one of the veteran badges, but I missed the chapter break between the Prologue and the first chapter, so I ruined everything D:

Yep, the prologue ribbon is for people who waited between aRTD and the beginning of SSSS, isn't it?
I missed the chapter break between the prologue and the first chapter, that's why I don't have the chapter 1 badge (or the veteran ones).

My bad, I'm not really familiar with the concept of missing chapter breaks after discovering the comic.

I know, it's a wound in my soul, I have to make up for this terrible mistake. I have red in my ledger that I need to wipe out

Actually, I thought the prologue was a little confusing (too many characters, too many things happening) and I didn't like it that much? So I gave the comic some time and returned only when the first chapter was already on progress. Later I found out that I wasn't the only one who felt like this about the prologue.

(But I love the prologue now, ok, it was a phase).

Agreed, the prologue was a bit confusing to get through, but once you do get through it, it's fantastic. I guess it'll work much better in comic book format
you'll know where to find me.

Haiz, I caught up during Ch5, when they were in the troll-nest, and I swear the non-helpful updates every day took a few years off my life. o_o

I've been slightly less active over the last couple of days, so I was wondering why everyone had little blocks of colour in their descriptions - looks like I've found the source of my confusion! This is a really great idea, and very original :) I'll just go sort out my ribbons now...

I have so much respect for you guys, but how on earth have you survived that many breaks without losing most of your sanity?


EDIT: Also I think someone suggested having a badge for readers of aRTD? That would be fantastic! Maybe the hannunvaakuna could be incorporated into it somehow, although the badge may be a bit too small...
