well, as with every gallery, there has to be something to start with, but in this case, it isn't choosing which morph or painting to put up first, so it's a little tricky. i guess i should start with me.

i've been a fan of the bearchive since near the beginning of the bearchive, not any of the sites before it. i think i was just a little over 18 when i happened across the site, and i've been hooked since. around the same time i learned that i really loved to write. oh and did i write! i wrote for the local papers, magazine articles for smaller video gaming magazines, and i currently have in the works a fantasy novel, of which has around 8 chapters done. (i had to go back and rewrite the first 4 because of my adolence and ignorance back then)

my first actuall online gig was at hooters.dk, where the original grizzly's cafe started up. for the first month i got great response to the articles. but then the audience tapered off, and so did my enthusiasm for doing those articles. eventually i took a leave of absence from hooters.dk and finally the gallery was taken down. the continuous story system i set up is still there, though no one ever contributes to it anymore. to this date there are 9 continuous stories started, and the only one that has two chapters is the story i started to begin with. but enough bitching about the past, i'll leave that to mr. monjangles.

well, after a long period of rest, i finally have the motivation, the time, and the new education that college brings, to start a hopefully rather popular zine-ish thing. to try to keep it popular, i vow to update with a new article at least twice a week, but no less than once a week. and, i'm going to be involved with other parts of the bearchive. some future things that might happen, is monthly interviews with a site artist, a full down review of a gallery for all the new people who can't access the member stuff, but isn't sure what there is. and, if you're really sneaky enough, you can find the entrance to my extra's page, that has all the drawings and pictures i do.

so to all the[censored]around the campfire, this has been grizzly bear.
