#IntPiPoMo is back!

We're now into November which can mean only one thing- it's time for IntPiPoMo 2014!

I've included a couple of my favourite pictures that I took last year :)

International Picture Posting Month (IntPiPoMo) is the picture equivalent of National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo). In reality it doesn't have to be screenshots from WoW but images form any game or even an array of photographs you take of the real life world - it's up to you.

The WoW blogging community equivalent was started back in 2011 by Angelya of Revive & Rejuventate and last year I took the baton on. I'd forgotten all about it this year until Chestnut tweeted me earlier - so thanks for that.

I think this years #IntPiPoMo should be really interesting with the release of Warlorsd of Draenor taking place half way through the month. I'm sure there will be a lot of pictures from Draenor appearing - and I imagine a lot of it will be new to various people who haven't yet had the chance to explore the new world in as much depth and detail.

In summary:

• 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.
• Please use the #IntPiPoMo hashtag on Twitter.
• Above all have fun exploring Azeroth (or whatever other virtual world you want to).

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.

My Furtive Father Winter 2013 Gift!

 

Hopefully everyone's had a brilliant Winter Veil so far. Following Christmas with my family I checked my emails yesterday to find that I had received my FFW gift - which was very exciting - and it was from none other than Akabeko Runetotem of Red Cow Rise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's what Aka said in the email...

Surprise! You're my FFW person :) I've always really liked the name of your blog, because Azeroth is a really lovely place that has plenty of beautiful scenery to admire. I also enjoy your screenshots immensely. Because of that, and in honor of you being a draenei, I decided to showcase the draenei starting zone! If only there had been a way to take a screenshot of that relaxing woodwind zone music...

Happy Winter Veil! ;)

#IntPiPoMo 2013 #7: Vashj'ir

Having got my druid to level 80 I took her into Vashj'ir. Personally I love the underwater world that Vash is but I do not like the 3D nature of it and find it confussing. Hence I normally avoid it. But there is one major bonus of going as a druid - aquatic form plus thus the movement buff means you move very fast!!

 

To battle...

Shark Surfing?

 IntPiPoMo Progress: 50/50

 

So this concludes my efforts for IntPiPoMo this year - until November 2014!!

 

Also a massive thank you to everyone that took part this year :)

I'm back with #IntPiPoMo 2013 #6: Some Delights of Dalaran

This past weekend I was away at my parents house for my mums 60th birthday. I had intended to blog on Friday but in the end I decided to travel to my parents straight from work as I was working away mid-way between my home and theirs. As a result I wasn't able to complete #IntPiPoMo in November but I'm not going to give up that easily...

 

IntPiPoMo Progress: 40/50

 

I wanted to do Dalaran for two reasons - firstly I love the city but secondly to celebrate my druid reaching level 80 and moving into the Cata zones. The last 10 IntPiPoMo screenshots will be from there.

 



#IntPiPoMo 2013 #5: Lakeshire and the Priest

Lakeshire is a lovely little town in the Redridge Mountains and I've spent a few hours picking herbs there this evening... on my new priest! That's right - priest! Following the success I had with Ferleno during #PriestWeek I felt inspired to roll one on my home server. I woke up Sunday with a plan in mind and Chubbwubb was born!

 

Since then I have played 9hrs 58mins on her and got her to near enough level 26 (she's currently 92% through level 25) via the amazingness that is insta-queues when you're a healer. Ah I forgot to mention that part - so not only have I rolled a priest that I like but I've plucked up the courage to heal in dungeons! *happy dance*.

On with the screenshots...

Over the bridge...



Inside the townhall.

Inn complete with random Draenei!



Romantic meal perhaps?

Someone's been cooking up a potion!

#IntPiPoMo 2013 #4: Crystalsong Forest

I'm a big fan of the cold, wintery feel that Northrend has as a general theme but there's one little pocket that whilst still feeling cold is almost certainly more a bright spring morning than a wintery night - Crystalsong Forest!

IntPiPoMo Progress 25/50

#IntPiPoMo 2013 #3: The Enchanted Fey Dragon

I gave in and purchased the special bundle which includes the Enchanted Fey Dragon and the Alterac Brew-Pup - both of which I love and have been waiting some time for.

 

 It seems they're a fairly big hit within the community as I've seen a lot around...

 

IntPiPoMo Progress: 21/50

#IntPiPoMo 2013 #2: Timeless Beasts

In the past I've posted a fair few pics of the Timeless Isle but I feel I've neglected the plethora of creatures found there and as a biologist this is pretty sucky of me. I have to admit that I'm always interested by the animals I find in each zone and in particular those that come with new expansions. Geeky I know *grins*

I found this weird creature that looked exactly like me...

 

These guyss hit pretty hard so I kept my distance!

I definately got too close trying to take a pic of these...

 

I think these guys are awesome :)

 

More my scene...

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.
