MAGUR
As already expressed over at Neweii.com:
I have decided to close down NewEII.com. I will be moving on and forming a new group with physical meetings in the California wilderness. I will be calling this group Magur (from the Sumerian) and will announce it's schedule, locations and website in 2012. It will be an integration of ideas and techniques I learned from people like Hyatt, Wilson, Channon (and many others others), and extending those ideas into our current situation. If you're interested in finding out more about Magur, email me at jmatheny AT hush.nym.com
On myths and dreams and all things that go bump in the night
You may recall that back in July, Michael Kinsella published a text book titled: Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong's Hat (great review here) and I in turn promised to write a companion paper to clarify a few of the conclusions in his tome that I felt needed expansion or slight course correction.
As these things often transpire; the paper became a pamphlet, became a booklet, became a book. I have the outline and am refreshing myself on some of the facts as well as conducting further research into the state of "interactive fiction" and modern "myth building" today.
This is in no way meant to supplant Michael's fine work, but rather to edify. I feel like a thorough historical analysis of what came before and what came after is in order. Since I have retired from creating such works myself (my work in the future will be traditional e/books and video exclusively) it is a good time to look back and reflect on the lessons learned.
Expect this books (still untitled) to see the light of day sometime in early 2012.

Ong's Hat: The Beginning is now available on iTunes for your iPad, iPhone and other ePub compliant readers. It is reasonably priced at$4.99 USD.
I will also be releasing an official audiobook through Audible.com later this year.
All this is in preparation for a new Ong's Hat spin-off novel (a sort of meta-sequel) that is in the works for release early next year.
In the meantime, enjoy the "beginning" in your favorite format.
