If you like to write I-Man fan fiction or just read it, you might want to head over to the LiveJournal group A Sense of Community (hot_donuts). They are gathering fans together for an I-Man fic challenge. So far it looks like they have around 17 participants, but they are looking for more. You don’t have to be a member of the group to join. All I-Man fans are welcome.
The information you need is spelled out in the two latests posts. But if you have questions, I’m sure someone there will be happy to help you out. Right now they are asking for prompts from both writers and readers.
There’s no such thing as too much I-Man fic, so head on over and join in on the fun!

The Invisible Man Counteragent website has always been a great resource for I-Man fans, so I wanted to be sure to let I-Man fans know that the site has moved. That’s right, it now has a new home on MySpace.
It’s a work in progress but, already, there are some really great features on the site such as Darien’s quotes, seasons’ one and two episode guides, the famous Darien’s rap, a ringtone you can get for your phone, a ton of photos, and more. Do check it out and be sure to friend Invisible Man Counteragent while you’re there. I-Man fan Ed has done a great job putting the site together.

Invisible Man fans are an international community and it’s really nice when I get to hear from those of you who are in other countries. A fan from France by the name of Elodie contacted me a couple of months ago and was very supportive of my film project. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all her support as well as those of other French I-Man fans out there. It’s great to know that there are other fans out there who want to see the cast together again as much as I do. Thank you!
Elodie runs a great I-Man fan site that you should check out. The link is below and I’ve also added it to the Friends and Supporters section on the right-hand side of the blog. Her site is written in French, so if you don’t read the language, you might try any of those handy free translator programs that are on the Internet. It will at least give you a gist of what is written.

Invisible Man fans, check out this terrific drawing done by Kristy (a.k.a. Rain), an I-Man fan from Australia. The piece is called Darien Fawkes – Living Hell. You can see a larger version of the picture by clicking on the above link and then clicking on the picture.
Kristy is the same artist who created the wonderful artwork for our I-ManiCon 2007 t-shirts, which some of you may remember.
This fandom has some very talented fans!

Posted in Fans, I-Man Cast Film Update at 9:01 pm by Amanda Rogers
Today marks the second anniversary of the online presence of this film project. Looking back over what seemed like a year of rather slow progress, I feel confident saying that this project is finally starting to pick up its pace. It’s about time, eh?
What feels good is the feedback I’ve been getting. In my gut I know this is a really good project, but sometimes it’s important to verify what you think you know to check yourself, so I make it a point to talk about the project whenever I can. I’ve got to say that the feedback I’ve been getting from experienced producers and investors has been very encouraging indeed.
The feedback I’ve been getting from my fellow I-Man fans has been great too. Thank you for the emails of support and encouragement. I’m just as excited as you are at the prospect of seeing our cast together again someday. When I started this website two years ago, it had just over a 100 visitors. This year that number went up to over 1,400 visitors. Now that’s just a drop in the bucket of the millions of people who watched I-Man worldwide, but considering that I really haven’t done any sort of PR yet, that’s not too shabby.
Project Update
I’ve got three, yes three, treatments going at the same time in various stages of development, so let’s talk about where each one is in the stream of things.
Treatment #1—Yesterday I mailed copies of the fully executed producer/writer agreement to the writer. That part is finally done! The next step is for her to send me the revised treatment and then I’ve got to get busy reading it and giving notes back to her.
Treatment #2—Monday I received the first draft of the producer/writer agreement from my lawyer. We made a few changes to it and it is almost ready to send on to the writer for her review. I really need to keep this agreement moving forward quickly so that the writer will have enough time to get the treatment done.
Treatment #3—This is the treatment I’m writing. I’ve put it aside for a while to get caught up on other things, but I’ll be revisiting it in a couple of weeks. I’m looking forward to getting back to work on it, especially since I’m going to be working under the mentorship of a WGA writer who is not only a produced writer, but also the author of two screenwriting books. One of the things I really like about this writer is that, besides having written for both film and TV, he has worked on a couple of sci-fi TV shows. I think it will really help to have someone with that kind of genre background to give me feedback.
The first treatment is scheduled to be finished around the end of January, so the other two treatments will need to be finished around the same time. The plan is to submit all three treatments at the same time to the cast for their consideration.
So that’s where we are with the project. If all goes well, we could start writing the screenplay early next year!
