Well, hello!

[Grislibaer]

Hi!

I'm new to the forum, and new to the fandom in general. My name is Grisli, and I'm a bear. I've always liked bears, and I've always been able to identify with them. I'm having a bear painted on my goalie mask actually. I'm not sure how well I'm going to fit in yet. I like the idea of role-playing, but I'm pretty new to it. Mainly, I'm here because everyone seems so darn friendly. My fursona is still in the works, at best, so you'll have to forgive me if I break character or switch my styles up hereafter. In RL, my name is Jake, I'm 20, a writer and a college student. When I move from lurking to creating, my focus is more than likely going to be my strong suit, writing, cause God knows I can't draw worth crap.

So uhhh yeah. That's me. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

'Elloo Grisli. Welcome to the community! I'd give a more proper greeting, fleshed out with a bunch more text. But I'm tired and it's early Dx

I would like to point you toward the chat though. Lots of us hang out in there and it'd be cool to greet you in real time. Just click the Chat button up above or go to this link: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?action=chat

Welcome to the forum! I hope you like it here.

What sort of things do you write?

[Grislibaer]

*Dramatically points back, and roars*
You are also a bear!!! BROTHER!!!
*wipes away slobber and hope nobody noticed the sudden outburst of emotion, the one that could have been heard in the next forum*

Haha, I like this :-)

When I'm working, I write informative articles on a variety of topics, but my specialties are generally, you guessed it, animals. In my free time, however, I write fiction short-stories and am also working on a novel. I may have just found a new niche in the fandom to write to though. :-)

You are all so welcoming to this grizzled and scarred grizzly, Grisli. I appreciate it and can't wait to get to know you all better. If only I had started appreciating this lifestyle sooner! Anthrocon is 15 minutes away from me, practically in my back yard this weekend.

Anthrocon... 15 minutes away from me...
