OK IEC

The IEC will be late. The next episode and the New Years Episode will come out a week late. I'm sorry you guys. The Lost Falchion giveaway will be also be starting late.

Thank you for your patience.

News and Info

OK, so I have been pretty quiet about this because I've been wondering how to pull it off.

A couple of posts ago I released that we were going to have contest where you could win a signed manuscript (prerelease) of Lost Falchion. Well I have figured out how we are going to do this. To participate go to imonoranempire.mypodcast.com and download these episodes (if you have the first season don't worry!): 5, 6, 7, 8.5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 (NOT 8, BUT 8.5) and listen to Lost Falchion all the way through. You can also go here and read it online. Then at the end of the next four (4), that's right four (4), episodes of the Imonoran Empire Cast we will have a trivia question from the book. You will e-mail your answer to imonoranempire@gmail.com or call it in to 206-600-5178. Those who answer correctly will be entered into the contest. Then in episode 208.5 we will announce our randomly chosen winners.

Also I'm have some updates on the future episodes that will be coming out. We have our second annual IEC X-mas episode and our new years episode is going to be separate from the normal Progression this year. We also have (as seen above) my Birthday episode (which uncannily enough will be 8.5 this year).

That is all the updates I have. Thanks for all your guys' support.

That's right I'm bringing out a story in the Urkia and Ynel universes to give you all a taste of what those worlds are like. Those will come out sometime during December or January.

The Secret Linal page that is going to be posted somewhere for a limited time will give out secret information pertaining to the Linal Project and what kind of world Linal exactly is. No I'm not going to spoil it and tell you where it is and the page is not going to tell you exactly what the Linal project is; but it will fun for you all and a good prize at the end.

Lost Falchion Giveaway: That is right RB's Universe is giving away two signed copies of the manuscript version of Lost Falchion. There will be more info in second episode of the IEC but everyone has a chance to win one.

That's pretty much it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all,

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who watches this. I thank you guys for all your support throughout this entire year. I am currently working on wrapping up NaNoWriMo and Forced War. I'm also working on a lot of stories for upcoming episodes of the Imonoran Empire Cast. Most of these will also appear in Empire Vol. 2.

Out of Town

OK everyone I'm out of town. Good thing I'm head of schedule on NaNoWriMo: 50,000 words people. Yep that's right I'm already at the NaNo limit. I'm working on the down hill slope to make it to 100,000.

The novel is working out quite well. Well enough that I am able to keep working on editing Forced War.

Thanks for all your guys' support. I'll be updating again soon, and expect an episode of IEC this week as well as an update to the Encyclopedia Imperia.

Thanks again,

Encyclopedia Imperia and IEC Updates

Well the Imonoran Empire Cast and the Encyclopedia Imperia have both been updated.

The new episode of the IEC Showcases not a new story or new part of the IHDA but a story that was written before the Imonoran Empire was the cohesive thing it is today. Saving Worlds is a very early piece that I wrote before the Empire was actually understood in my head. It has been edited and updated several times by me and this is the finished product.

I would like to give a huge shout out to a friend of mine: Amanda Moss! She is the Narrator for this story. Thank you so much Amanda!

The Encyclopedia Imperia has it's first official update, something other than the introduction. The first Article that was chosen to be put up was about the Emperor. This was chosen for the reason that the Empire wouldn't be an empire without the Emperor.

Thank you all for your suport and I hope to here feed back about these two new updates. You can send all e-mail about them to the imonoranempire[at]gmail[dot]com.

Google Calendar

OK so I made a Google Calendar. It basically shows all the events that will be happening with the Imonoran Empire Cast as well as the Encyclopedia Imperia. I'll put other stuff up when I start to get more information.

This is for y'all. So you can know what is happening and when things are going to be released. The second season of the IEC is getting ready to start.

The IHDA will be put on hold for a while I have a special story that has been read by someone else other than me. So I will have two more episodes this month before the Season Two comes out. The story will be broken into two episodes that gives you a good amount of story per episode. The first will be out on this Wednesday (11-05-08).

Then I'll release Forced War.

That is how the end of this month is going to shape up. All the episodes for this month will be prerecorded since NaNoWriMo is going on and I am trying to double my out put from last month.
