Updates

Well I know I just started this today and I have nothing really posted but I wanted to give some RB's Universe Updates. OK First of all the Ynel Contest is still runing and there is a new rescource in development for your help in this contest.

A new Wiki has been made by me for Ynel specifically! There is nothing on it at the moment but I am working on getting it up. It will be... hard with not time to update it but I'm putting it on the for front of the RB's Universe Project List (after Lost Falchion and the IEC of course!) because we really need to find a closing date for this event. I will leave it open ended until we get enough people to judge but you know I can't do that for ever.There is also going to be an announcement on the IEC this week so listen for that.

Also some other news is the that we are looking at writers to add things to Empire Vol. 3. It has come to our attention that I have written 18 stories in this series and we have just seen my view of this world (which is common in most authors careers). We would like to go one step further and see what the people who read these stories think of this world and how they perceive it.

Yes my opinions matter because it is I who created the Imonoran Empire but so do yours. So this is your chance. It is not a contest at the moment but it may become one in the future. We are putting together Empire Vol. 3 with stories the readers have written. This is your chance to get your fanfic made into canon. I would like everyone to realize that we can not put everyone's stories in to one volume so we may add an Empire Vol. 4 if we get enough interest in Empire Vol. 3. Even if you don't make it into the next volume it is possible that you could make it into 4. And if we get enough response to this and we don't have enough entries to make a Volume 4 then i will get my fingers moving and fill in the rest of Vol. 4 for you guys to get published.


News:
R.A.I. A screen play that I am working on will be posted after it is finished. If I have any takers to see it you can e-mail me. I may try to put a lo budget production on but I'm not sure it depends if the audience get's big enough with the demand.


Well this post is pretty much over and I haven't even discussed what I wanted to.

Well really quick. I want to talk to you about the Licenses you see popping up all over RB's Universe. Well you see there is this bill called the Orphan Works Bill that is coming before congress (Google and make sure you are informed about it especially if you are an artist that posts things on the web). It will officially remove all rights to images, stories and anything else that you have posted oline will have it's rights removed so that some other person can take it and sell it and you can't do a thing about it! That is the reason for the Creative Commons popping up all over the place. Make sure you get informed and send letters to your congressman.

That's all for this time folks.
