It's that time of year again. November. When everyone suddenly decides to prove they really do have a novel in them.
Except me. If I have a novel in me I plan on making sure it stays exactly where it is. I let a couple of half-grown ones escape back in the 90s and they're still prowling around, somewhere, just outside the firelight.
How fortunate that I just discovered a huge stash of forgotten screenies! |
Oh, maybe when I retire and the days hang long I might give it a try. Until then I'll stick to something a good deal easier.
IntPiPoMo is pretty much shooting into an open goal full of fish. The aim is to post fifty original images you've created - paintings, drawings, photographs or, as it will be in my case, screenshots, during the calendar month of November.
For a whole load of different MMORPGs |
I only posted thirty-four original screenshots in October and several of those barely count, since they were just sections of my characters' stat panels. You can hardly call that a picture, can you?
I'm pretty sure I've never posted any of these before. |
Anyway, I heartily recommend everyone who likes to make or take pictures to visit Gamer Girl Confessions and sign up. I linked the page with all the details in the third paragraph but here it is again in, case you missed it.
At least I hope not! |
There are even prizes! To quote Chestnut, who runs this thing :
...your overall prize is the satisfaction that you completed the challenge! However, I am offering a few prizes (again) this year.
- Grand Prize – Of all participants who complete 50 images, I will be using a RNG (random.org) to draw a winner for a game up to $15 on Steam (game time for an MMO can be worked out if preferred)!
- Three Other Prizes – Of all participants who complete 25+ images (up to and including those who make it to 50), I will be using a RNG (random.org) to draw three winners for a game up to $10 on Steam!
I certainly wouldn't want to cheat! |
Last year I won a prize, which I used to buy Early Access to Bless Online, which I then posted about, including plenty of screenshots. The circle is unbroken!
IntPiPoMo is a Jolly Good Thing. Thanks to Chestnut for hosting it once again. Let the cameras roll!
My EVE Online post today has 24 screen shots in it, does that mean I am half way there already? Or do I have to declare first?
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked, but I would have to guess that, given my visual nature and need to put screen shots into posts, I probably do 50 a month most months.
You'd have to ask Chestnut but I'd bet it would count retrospectively. I also guess there's nothing stopping someone putting up a fifty screenshot post on November 1st and sitting back for the rest of the month. I would also guess you go well over fifty on TAGN every month - you post more than daily most months and most posts have more than one screen shot.
