An Introduction Out of Sorts

Ah, it's finally time to begin etching some words into the documents which form this "site". Though it has taken me longer than initially thought to put pen to paper here, I will not apologize for the delay. Firstly, because I know that nobody was truly waiting. More importantly: I am accountable only to myself here.

Words describing words are of little use. I'll attempt to remain practical for the remainder of this text. So, what is this thing you're looking at? This is a place to store and share my works. Creative works, as in writings and pictures. Maybe other things too. I also want to present the works of others here. The label "Cheepo" is meant to convey the idea of cheap and free art. Cheap and free for both you and myself. That's what you'll find here.

While the works presented here may come from multiple people, I will be the main maintainer of this collection. Who am I then, and what qualification do I have for such a role? I am the TUNGSTEN WIZARD and my title was stated eight words ago. Yes, I do belive that I am an actual wizard. No, I am not delusional. The only proof I need of magic-making is what I can give you here. Already I'm throwing my voice into your mind. If you take a look around, you'll see that I can conjure images as well. You might not like the effects of my spells, but that's not really my goal here.

In truth, I believe I need this practice. My powers, as much as they've ever existed, have been growing stagnant as of late. My hands have lain dormant for too long. In general, I'm feeling my energy sapped from me as I amble through long halls of daily task work. What good is a wizard who puts no magic into the world? If I affect no change upon those around me, then I have no claim to the seat of a changemaker.

Enough self-coddling! Surely, if I'm going to evoke something from you today, it ought not be that. Nay, I seek to stir FIRE within you! A spark for what is to come from here, and more importantly, some kindling for that which you can burn within yourself! Indeed I am a magician, but if you feel my words pulling at your heart in even the slightest way, then I must inform you that so are you! If you look within and find this to be true, I ask you to cast your own works out. Scrawl your own runes and scribble your own images. You can't control whether or not I will make something interesting here for you, but you can control what you make of it.

That all said, I do plan to make quite a lot here. Watch closely, my unacquainted acquaintence from across the web of copper and thunder. The works of the wizard and all his friends shall soon arise from their shallow soil. And as they grow, a bird may land across the bounty and call itself CHEEPO.
