Universes of Imagination™ - Details

A quick note on the naming convention of UoI series.

The first element of the name is, of course, the series: monsters or daro or whatever. Then comes the particular volume in the series. Currently, in the monster series are two volumes: 1 and 2. Volume 1 are the dragons and volume 2 are the demons. Then comes the edition. This is indicated by a letter and is the way to quickly check if you have the latest version. Finally comes the year the current edition is published (and copyrighted in this form). So the first edition of the demons volume is monsters-2.a.2010. The second volume has a whole lot more demons and should be out soon. It will, obviously, be monsters-2.b.2010.

With files attached or associated with the My Universes blog the canonical version of the file is the TEI (.xml) version if present. Otherwise the OpenDocument format version is canonical.

This site uses b2evolution as its blogging software. Some of the posts might be posted from other software, including OpenOffice.
