Justice Points guest appearance!

Hey kids! Do you like podcasts? Head over to Justice Points to hear me, Tzufit, and Apple Cider Mage talk about our favorite quest ladies. Justice Points is a podcast that I think is really important, so it was a humbling opportunity to get to appear on it! Put it on your to-listen list for WoW-related social justice discussions from two very intelligent women :D

Dahakhabeko's One Time Fun Time Podcast (Two Time)

Part One

In which some cows get tipped tipsy.


This was cobbled together from a series of recordings in an effort to appease the MP3 Skype Recorder gods. I apologize for some weird garbled bits in the middle and hope you can understand that part!

Dahakhabeko's One Time Fun Time Podcast! Pt. 1

Part 1: In which Dahakha puts up with Akabeko's drinking


Towards the end the audio gets a little garbled as it speeds uncontrollably on into the sunset. Despite a very entertaining Saturday night conversation, the second half of the audio is completely unintelligible. For that reason, we bring you the first 45 minutes now and will have to re-record the rest later this week. I'm so very sorry for the inconvenience!

Part 2!

Dahakhabeko's One Time Fun Time podcast!

Hey readers! Yeah, all three of you! I know you're reading all this fanfic Dahakha and I are posting, because that's what this blog has been all about lately. Every comment on each chapter is like a wonderful nugget of chocolate, but we want to talk more with you! Perhaps...you might like to talk to us too?

Who: Dahakha & Akabeko & AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION. If you've never commented, now is the time! It's ~fun and easy~ to do!

I would like, if I may

What: Ask the authors! Do you have comments or questions about any of the stories posted here? Are you curious about the characters, storyline, collaboration or writing process? We want to hear your thoughts, be they short, long, deep, simple, or any number of other adjectives! If you need a refresher, check out the Series page.

When: TBA (in about a week, or when it's clear no one can think of anything else to say >_>)

Where: Why, redcowrise, of course! (I do not want to figure out how to do a live show!)

Why: Because I'm asking nicely! Also wouldn't it be a nice change of pace to non-stop GRIPPING FICTION??

How: Comment on this post, or tweet us @redcowrise!

I accidentally a whole podcast

Once again, the lovely ladies of Girls Gone WoW have generously invited me to share their airwaves! If you like listening to podcasts, I invite you to check out the episode "Girls Gone Cooking" here. GGW is one of my favorite podcasts based on attitude alone, so I highly recommend you follow them!

#MMONBI Girls Gone WoW guest appearance and miscellany

Previously: Why and What to Post, Blog Setup and Community Building, Roundup, Using Screenshots

So the very successful New Blogger Initiative has ended, although Syp revealed he will keep the forums up for further discussion. There have been some very nice wrap up posts. Syp has a list of all the new blogs AND all the advice columns published here and Windsoar has categorized the advice posts here. If you're looking for another way to promote your blog to gamers, register at the Gaming Blog Nexus.

Moving right along! I remember reading a post from Gnomeageddeon I think, advising bloggers to simply take a break rather than post in order to apologize to readers for taking a break. Now, I'm not planning on taking a break and this is perhaps premature, but since I'm getting ready to finish my current job, spend a month and a half on vacation -without my desktop-, and then go back to university, I suspect there will be some changes to my blogging. It is my intention to keep posting on a regular basis, although I might drop down to 9-10 posts a month rather than 12. (Sweet Earthmother if Mists comes out during my vacation...all my rage)

On the fiction front, for the three of you that even read it, I've got some changes planned. The Goblin Journal was initially a way to explore Azeroth using the fresh eyes of a new character. Now that she's in Outlands, I find it hard to conjure up motivation to write about killing sporebats. I don't necessarily want to put her story away, but I think I'll keep her around to observe random parts of WoW that I want to comment on, like holidays and faction politics.

The Leatherworkers is chugging along strong. From the first story my interest in the nameless orc and tauren's adventures has grown from "where do tier materials come from?" into "when are these two going to rent an apartment and star in a sitcom?" More backstory about both of them is coming. Fair warning, there is some angst in their future!

Fooling around in the beta has cemented my interest in pandaren and their unique experience in Azeroth. I'm hoping to begin a new story from a pandaren POV in order to explore the new leveling content, the phenomenon of "othering," and Akabeko's character as seen from an outside point of view.  Please look forward to The Bard and the Tree!

For those of you who couldn't give two shits about fanfiction, rest assured that I only endeavor to post one chapter of each storyline per month, so there will be plenty of screenshot spam and formless nerdraging to enjoy!

Finally, I was a guest on the Girls Gone WoW podcast for the second time! You can hear episode 54: Refreshingly Exotic here. We talk about what we're looking forward to in MoP (fairly sure this is spoiler-free) and the ins and outs of rep grinding. If you aren't listening to these ladies (and sometimes gent) on a regular basis, change that! They have laid-back, funny, and comparatively short podcasts that are perfect for grinding or cooking dinner to :)

Twisted Nether Blogcast!

Hey! Remember how I was interviewed on the Twisted Nether Blogcast? Well you can listen to it right here! (The title, so much lulz.) I won't be, because I hate the sound of my own voice, so let me know how it goes! :D

Twisted Nether Blogcast!

Hi friends! Are you members of Blog Azeroth? Do you listen to their Twisted Nether Blogcast, hosted by the charming Fimlys and Hydra? I do, and you should! The purpose of the show is to showcase WoW bloggers in an interview and broadcast game news! Mysteriously, they have invited me to appear on the next show! You can join us during the recording and make snide comments or ask questions! The excitement goes down on Saturday, February 4th at 8PM PST [UTC-8] (that's Sunday, Feb 5th at 1PM JST [UTC+9]). You can figure out just wtf that time is for you at this helpful website! I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Waffle Bites Interview!

I was recently interviewed by the Team Waffle druid podcast! You can listen to me wax poetic about healing, vanity pets, Nuts jokes, and raiding here. If you are a fan of druids, or would like to become one, you should definitely check out their full-length podcasts!

Guest starring on the GGW podcast!

Now that Blogger has deigned to load the compose box for me, I can link you to this week's Girls Gone WoW podcast, a very good podcast in it's own right, and now greatly improved by my fleeting presence! Please check out episode 14 here. Of course, I am too afraid to listen to my own voice, so I'll just fondly remember our conversation, held at 6AM as I hunched over my bowl of Cocoa-kun Crispies. Yeaahhhh.
