Introducing IntPiPoMo 2013

Afternoon peeps! It's occurred to me that we're now at the beginning of November which is National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo). I really like the idea of NaNoWriMo and I am thinking about giving it a go this year - if time permits. But the point of this post is not to talk about novels but about screenshots!!

Last year I took part in International Picture Posting Month (IntPiPoMo) which as you might guess is the picture (or in this case screenshot) equivalent. IntPiPoMo was started by Angelya of Revive & Rejuventate back in 2011. The logic is:
"Y'see, a picture is worth a thousand words. The NaNoWriMo word target is fifty thousand. That means our IntPiPoMo target is fifty pictures, over the thirty days of November."                                                                                       Angelya Source
Anyways, I tweeted about IntPiPoMo and Angelya replied that she'd forgotten and has handed the baton over to me as it were - which is an awesome honour! (I hope it's as successful as past years).

To sum it up:
  • Aim to take 50 screenshots during the month of November.
    • there's no strict posting schedule or themes to adhere to.
    • pictures can be posted in blog posts and/or on twitter.
  • If you're intending to take part let me know by commenting or tweeting me and I will keep an updated list of participants below.
  • Use #IntPiPoMo on Twitter (it doesn't seem to have been used since last year).
  • That's it... well and having fun!
Just as an example; last year I broke my 50 screenshots into blocks of 5* with each block having a common theme, i.e. a zone or quest chain - you can view them here.
I know 50 is quite a daunting number but it isn't that bad.
* there was one block of 10.

Rinike of Rinike's Wardrobe

Erinys of Harpy's Nest
Angelya of Revive & Rejuvenate

    1. Awesome! I've just updated the post slightly to include how I broke it into small chunks last year - hopefully that should help.

  2. I'll definitely be taking part again. Glad you took it over as I've enjoyed the last two years and we can't have too many screenshot challenges :p Will definitely be bulk posting though.

    1. Awesome! Yeah I really enjoyed it last year too. I like screenshot challenges and this one is especially good as you can do whatever you want really.

  6. I'll probably be a late starter but it sounds fun! Now if I can write 1000 words to go with each one - will I have my novel then? lol

    1. Don't worry I haven't posted any pics yet (will hopefully be sorting that later today). It's that time of year where BlizzCon takes over whether you're attending in person or not!

  10. I would like to join in but since I lost all my screenshots date of my world of warcraft i will try to dig in what I can,.. but before joining in this year my 2012 is not even quiet done so I guess I will pass on this one yet and try to catch up again when i can i know theres no expiration date on posting such wonderful screenshots out there hehe. Anyway, Im also inviting everyone to join in the Blog Azeroth Thanksgiving Event 2013 this year. Looking forward to read your thank you posts. Have a blessed one and Happy Thanksgiving! =)

    1. I agree, posting screenshots is something to be done all year round. I guess IntPiPoMo is a bit of an excuse to go and take even more!! I did see the Thanksgiving Event on Blog Azeroth - I'll try and get a post done this week!

  11. Are you planning on continuing this for 2014? I know it's a bit early, but I want to know! I'm super pumped to get back into MMOs. :)
