        Some words....
      -----------------

Black Maiden was founded some 8 years ago by VOiCE. It was about to
establish itself a name in the CPC cracker scene. The only members then
were VOiCE and TX. The cracking went on for some years but its range
was only local. Then, with the aid of LOrD HeAleR, as he is now known,
we went over to programming - still on the CPC, as nobody spoke about
IBM personal computers, or at least not concerning games and the like.
We worked hard on a role playing game for about 2 years. In terms of
graphic it greatly outreached what had been done, or better neglected,
on the CPC till then. Unfortunately it had never been finished, as we
went over to the PC finally, afer having made a side leap to the AMiGA.
This one being of no greater importance, as we only started converting
our game for that machine, but gave up quite early.
So then, we were nested on the PC. Personally, I started planning on a
new game, but lost my motives as I could not withstand the concurrence
with my programming knowledges. In the meantime, Black Maiden was
reinforced by 2 new members, in order to publish a magazine, and a bit
later, LOrD HeAleR definately belonged to us, too. We are still
publishing this magazine, which is based on critics on satires of our
modern society, and proves to be a good way to pass on our literary
and poetic creations to the 'public'.
Time went by, and with the appearances of the first modems (in our
ranks, not in general :) we began meddling with the art scence in the
net-world. We then decided to transform Black Maiden from simple authors
into an ARt-group (no, no mistake in the spelling, I like writing ARt
like that :).
So now we are proud to present to you the fruits of our hard work, the
first pack from the new Luxembourg ARt-group: BL\CK M\iDEN !
Enjoy, and don't forget: If you are skilled in some of the things we do,
there's no reason why you should not become a member. Just fill out the
accompanying application sheet. If you have any suggestions, critics or
whatever, don't hesitate to call one of our boards (see listing for
details).
Now, really, have a look!
