Comic Discussion Post [CLOSED]

Use this post for discussion of Minna's comics! Feel free to post about the most recent SSSS updates, or about earlier developments. aRTD discussion is also allowed here.

Discussion does not have to be limited to the comic itself; if you just want to gush about how hot Sigrun is, or open up a thread for fanwork prompt requests, or discuss SSSS/aRTD in the context of multifandom fanwork exchanges, that's okay too!

In order to easily see the most recent posts, I suggest using Flat View.

EveryWoman has nominations open, and I used up all 8 slots on both my accounts nominating for aRTD and SSSS already. Would someone with an AO3 account mind lending a few nomination slots? Maybe I'm being strange, but I think it'd be fun to see most/all the female characters from SSSS/aRTD nominated.

For SSSS, the ones who are missing are:
Ingrid Pedersen, Berit Eide, Stine, Esko's wife, Tuuli Hollola, Kaino Hotakainen, Helmi, Ulrika Västerström, Elvira Västerström, Mia Västerström, Kirsten Madsen, Mette Madsen, Mathilde Madsen, Marianne Madsen, Taru Hollola, Nordic Council Lady, Ása Harðardóttir, No-Arms, Mrs. General Eide, Hilde Rasmussen, Reynir's mother, and can't forget Kitty and her mom!

aRTD needs:
Vuokko Tikkanen, Mrs. Squirrel, Sini Kuitunen, Åsa Skärsholm, Ms. Seal, Riikka Skärsholm, Oona Kuikka, Anu Kantanen, Astrid, Kielo Miettinen, and Puppy-Fox's Mom - I don't remember if she's named?

ANYWAY. If you decide to nominate anyone, leave a comment so there aren't any double nominations and slots are lost?

I've been thinking of taking a step back from exchanges for the moment as well, and then I let Ju watch me write my NPT letter last night to help her come down from her experiment, so, uh. The exchange addiction is strong with this one. But EveryWoman is one I won't pass up - the minimum is only 500 words, and that's definitely doable.

Thank you for the noms, though! And I didn't know Paju's mother showed up, I still need to sort out my Paypal to throw some money in Minna's direction, but more named characters are good. Which reminds me, does Hannu's mom have a name? I seem to have left her out as well. (Time for another reread. >>)

Yeah, that's a good distinction to make. I actually had to revise my Smut Swap fic per mod order because it wasn't explicit enough and sat there trying to work out how Lalli of all people could be made to comply with that particular demand. Women? Piece of cake, depending on the character, but that's not exactly a gender-specific thing.

I'd be excited to see you there, anyway. SSSS seems very exchange lite, which is surprising to me because there are so many active fans considering it's a fairly small fandom. But hey, maybe we'll be getting there.

I went with the surnames you suggested for Ellu and Sisko, at least that'll give people a clue which family they belong to. (Even if Minna went for non-traditional naming, wouldn't this still be probable? In case of the Hotakainen and Hollola families either the husband took the female surname (Saku), and even if the husband kept his own name (Eino), the child seems to take the mother's surname (Veeti) - though of course I don't know if the reverse of the woman keeping her maiden name and the child taking the father's surname is also possible, google didn't help with that).

Liiiiiists:

SSSS:

Stine
Esko's wife
Ulrika Västerström
Elvira Västerström
Mia Västerström

Kirsten Madsen
Mette Madsen
Mathilde Madsen
Marianne Madsen
Nordic Council Lady

aRTD:

Sini Kuitunen,
Astrid,
Puppy-Fox's Mom
Ellu Viitanen

Sisko Kinnunen

ETA: Talked Ju into nominating some.

Another associate would like to know if it's okay to nominate some of these as groups? For example, the Madsens we can probably knock out in one slot as "Group: Kirsten Madsen & Mette Madsen & Mathilde Madsen & Marianne Madsen" and that way whoever requests them can ask for them as a group or individually if they want. It'll also free up spots for the other characters. (As for Kitty (not sure if animal characters are allowed?)), not sure what to put her name down as since Minna said a name if forthcoming?

Okay! :) And it fits the guidelines, so...we'll go with that! :D (I did the same thing with Reynir's sisters in my own nominations.)

So for SSSS, you can cross out:
Group: Kirsten Madsen & Mette Madsen & Mathilde Madsen & Marianne Madsen
Stine
Esko's wife

(I might need to page the mod again concerning the Crew Cat, although I'm getting shy from privately sending them so many questions already.)

I'll poke my associate about Sisko Kinnunen too. :)

Aaah, that is awesome, thank you so much! ♥ And good point about Kitty. I just tend to consider her such a character that it didn't occur to me that she... probably isn't, really. And she can still come into the fics, anyway, so no need there. :3

At first I was like, "How did you get get eight slots!" and then I remembered. XD

Okay, my other account:

Reynir's mother
Mrs. General Eide
Hilde Rasmussen
*No-Arms, but I will be using the method the mod wishes us to nominate nameless characters. I put her down as "Original Norwegian Troll Hunter" for now. (My "Original Icelandic Mage" nomination is meant for a Katla. XD) If you want me to change that, let me know! :D

And unfortunately looks like I may be using the other three for other fandoms, but I will...look to my associates for help. ;)

Heh, yeah. It's useful to have a smut sock.

No-Arms' nomination sounds good to me - there are more women in the Dalsnes flashback, so it could be any of them, but she's got a bit of text so is slightly more prominent, and it's always possible to specify in signups.

If I end up treating, I'm going to write you a Katla thing. :3 (Oh, and apparently I have an Icelandic mage of my own in my head who is very insistent on some spotlight. She did meet an untimely end while Sigrun was still in her teens, but that's not stopping her, so Þórveig says hi and wants you to know that "Original Icelandic Mage" is a good nomination.)

It is! :)

I might end up doing that for either Lírien if the mod doesn't approve her or the other Rivendell ladies that fandom has named. I'm just glad they're allowing for OCs-in-canon to be nommed! Best exchange mod ever! :D

And, yay! \0/ Katla says hi to Þórveig! I wonder if I will end up treating everyone in my fandoms too like I did last year. :D (And I remember her! In the story sample you showed me! So Sigrun was in her teens? That would mean, if we combine our Sigruns' timelines, she meets Katla after Þórveig, as I imagine Sigrun was having a thing with an Icelandic mage twice her age while in her twenties, hee.)

I like the idea - it'd save some slots for the Rivendell ladies as well, although still thinking that if Figwit counts as a character then they should, too, in their own right. >> But you know my beef with that, and it's OT anyway.

Treating everyone would be so wonderful. Your fics last year were such a delight! ♥ But I know you also want to work on TGE, so please don't force yourself if your focus falls on your original writing!

So Sigrun was in her teens? That would mean, if we combine our Sigruns' timelines, she meets Katla after Þórveig, as I imagine Sigrun was having a thing with an Icelandic mage twice her age while in her twenties, hee.)

She was - she was 16 in my timeline (and no relationship other than 'teammate' there; Þórveig was married), but honestly, I can see Sigrun having all sorts of relationships with all sorts of people. :D
