I am also a member of the Order of the Silver Night, which I'm sure Cargest has already explained to most of you.

Good to see you on here.  I reckon more of us should frequent the ANUS.

As if any of us don't already.

We can step up the maturity a bit, though. Sometimes it seems as if we aren't really serious.

In October of 2009 I walked out of my exceedingly sociable, tedious and dead-end job. Didn't quit oficially, just stopped going altogether. Got into a major melancholic episode in which I wondered just what the hell I was going to do to sustain my body and keep a roof over my head. Around the same time period I discovered my vocation in writing (the aforementioned episode had a hand in triggering that). As of now I have a novel and a short story written, with a novella on the works and the idea for another novel wandering through my head, and about 30 poems finished.

Took a backpacking trip last January through the chilean Patagonia that was, at the same time, one of the most fruitful and miserable (thanks to El Niño) experiences of my life.

My vocation discovered, I still wondered how I was going to procure food and housing for myself. I think I have it solved: two months ago I started a translation and writing business completely unrelated to my main literary activities. Things have been slowly taking off in that regard, but I think I will soon build myself a reputation. Daily, I work from 6 A.M. to 7 P.M. - monday to saturday - on literary and related activities (including the aforementioned business and the learning of the german language, which I took as a serious pursuit four months ago).

Overall, in this as in all other activities I take seriously I have a balls-to-the-wall attitude. I give myself no alternative choices, so for me it is either this (a writing career) or destitution. It may seem extreme, but that's the only way one can seriously pursue something, in my opinion.

Additionally, I help the ANUS by taking care of the Audiofile subforum - sure, that doesn't seem like much compared with the efforts of other people in this organization, but it is a task I enjoy for the fun of it.

I present for your scrutiny and possible pleasure:  

I Was Thinking Arby's(prose) - my first venture in to story writing in years
A Love Perverse(poetry) - based on the 'relationship' of two dysfunctional drama-queens I know; edit:  I forgot to mention that this is the first in a planned series of three

I already created a thread about this, so I'll be brief.

Traumen, Black Metal, associated with Master C and Lord Revenant/Cargest, link http://www.mediafire.com/?aawtmybwdyz, enjoy.

An ambient piece I composed a while back, probably indirectly inspired by Burzum.  This is my first venture into this type of music, and listening to it now there are some things I could do better, but here it is anyway.

Two drone doom and one black metal track I created. The first drone track isn't at the quality that I wanted to be, but I'm not the most skilled producer now, and I was terrible when I recorded that one. I am also a member of the Order of the Silver Night, Cargest of Wiht wrote the lyrics to the black metal track. I don't know how pure the black metal track is, since I incorporate my thrash and doom stylings into it, especially vocal wise. My friend did the backing shrieks on it, she has a DSBM-eqsue scream.

I have been drawing since I am young, and for some times, I have put drawings of mine on the internet.  You can see them at this link:  http://monts-et-forets.blogspot.com/
The texts are in french but it's mostly pictures.

My main inspirations are nature, romantism, legends, solitude. They are generally in black and white because I like the old engraving touch. It gives an introspective feeling. Some of them are made in a naive way not unlike old celtic or middle ages pictures. Some works are  a little bit outdated or sketchy but they kept their raw charm.

Any constructive comments would be appreciated. There is always something to improve.

I think the efforts of many, even in small ways, are important in keeping a vision alive.

I think the top picture (Yggdrasil) is clearly the best one, nice job on that.  I, too, like the engraving "look."  You should simply draw a bunch of scenes from various Greek or Norse myths in your engraving style - that would be outstanding!  On some of your other pictures, I think you leave too much blank space on the canvas.

For those here who make music, would it be useful to have one of these with one track from each user?

It's not as cheesy or wasteful as a compilation, but gives you a chance to showcase what you have.

I play at an Open mic night twice and month and do mostly Improv metal material with a drum track. I came up with this upcoming riff and after fine tuning it up and creating, for me some of my most magical moments I have ever created.

It should be worthy to note, and I can not recall if I had ever mentioned to this, but I have not listened to an absorbent amount of the classical metal standards. I think I have been doing this on purpose as to not listen to too much. This is my own personal belief. If I have created something that sounds familiar to a classical, please share this with me. This tells me I am channeling the right energy in doing something magical.

And yes that is Conan the Barbian "Anvil of Crom" as an intro.

My project, Ungentle Assrage, is about to release its first 7" mp3 through myspace blog records.

[Forza Romana]

Sounds like a great title to me! I actually am downloading most of the projects done by the members here. Great material from everyone...
