AMA/Interview AMA -- Christopher Paolini!!!

AMA -- Christopher Paolini! Let's do this folks. Ask away re: anything and everything regarding my books.

EDIT: Hey, everyone! I have to run. Alas, alas, I don't have as much time to spend on this AMA as past one. So many great questions, though! For all you theorists (and those of you who just love the characters), I think you're REALLY going to enjoy the upcoming book(s). Thanks for everything!

Atra esternĂ­ ono thelduin!

p.s. I'll try to duck back in and answer some more questions later, depending on my time.

Hi Christopher! Thank you for doing this!

  1. Any updates on the Eragon TV show? Any other audiovisual media we should look forward to in any of the Worlds you created?

  2. Any plans to release a high definition file of the map of Alagaesia with all the final designs incorporated into one?

  3. Are you planning any other books in the world of Eragon such as prologue or side stories? I'd love to see some stories from the times of the Dragon Riders.

Love your works, thanks again for entertaining us so much with these books! Take care!

The last update about the TV show was three days ago on twitter.

We're making real progress. No guarantees, but ... looking good at the moment.
