Imperial Ministry of Information Dispatch #2
Posted by Raven on 06 Feb 2008 at 07:53 pm | Tagged as: Announcements, Reviews
Good day, citizens! Blaine Terynson here from the Imperial Ministry of Information. I am most pleased to share some exciting news: the word of our beloved city has gone out far and wide, and men and women from across the globe have answered the call
The communications distribution system known as iTunes has released a list of its most popular podcasts in the world of Literature — and The Metamor City Podcast, the Ministry’s prime vehicle for spreading news of our fair land, is now ranked in the top twenty Literature podcasts in all of iTunes!
This is a great triumph for the Imperial Ministry of Information, and the Majestrix extends her thanks to all of you, the Empire’s loyal citizens and fellow-travelers in distant lands, for making it possible. It is your use of our promotional spots, your blog posts, your word-of-mouth that has raised Metamor City into the collective awareness of the WorldNet community. You are truly the messengers of light and hope to a benighted world.
The Majestrix wishes to extend her particular thanks to loyal citizen Steve Eley, whose podcast Escape Pod has long been the standard-bearer for excellence in audio science fiction. In Episode 143 Mr. Eley aired the Metamor City promotional spot and waxed eloquent about the joys of our beloved city and the merits of our podcast program. Since the release of this episode hundreds of new visitors have come to Metamor City and discovered the wonder of our world for themselves. It is largely Mr. Eley’s dedication to the cause that has propelled The Metamor City Podcast to its current place of prominence. For this, and other services to the Empire, Majestrix Kyia is pleased to elevate Steve Eley to the peerage, bestowing upon him the title Baron of Giftum. We at the Ministry congratulate Lord Eley on his promotion and wish him the best in his continued services to the Empire.
As always, the Ministry encourages all citizens and friends of the Empire to inform us of any further efforts to disseminate positive information about our nation and its beloved capital city. Those who serve the Empire in this way shall be honored in future dispatches.
All Hail the Majestrix! All Hail Metamor!
The Hon. Blaine Terynson,
Imperial Minister of Information
Stumble it!
You know, I’ve pimped the MCPc out on *my* blog, but every time my papers come back with big red scrawl on them that says “Citizenship denied due to subject not meeting minimum olfactory requirements”. Whatever that means.
Ah, yes. It’s nothing personal, you understand; the Minister of the Interior is just looking to encourage more canimorphs to immigrate. (Word has it that the Ministry needs more bomb-sniffers — damned Sidhe partisans.) If you’d fill out your paperwork for the Curse and send it in, I’m sure some accommodation could be made…
