Shared Topic: A Conversation With Your Character

This week’s Shared Topic had us getting groovy with our role playing side as we, the players, had a little chat with our characters. Azryu from the Arcanery was the one who came up with the idea:

If you gave your character a voice, how would a conversation between you and them go?

How would you interact with them? Would you play god? How would your character sound? Would they be intelligent, witty, or be the embodiment of the stereotypical “huntard”?

Responses took on all sorts of different forms! Some bloggers wrote stories to accompany their encounter with their character, some interviewed their characters in a more formal setting, others shared the ups and downs of their day to day relationship with their alter ego.


Enjoy the creative posts by:

Azryu from The Arcanery

TwilliK from Arcane Envoy

Marariel from Real Life Aggro

Liniya from Elune’s Guidance

Daraia from Daughter of Ravenholdt Manor

Exanna from OMG.. Priest!

Dristanel from The Physician’s Log

Ophelie from The Bossy Pally and the Giant Spoon

I know a couple of people mentioned they wanted to take part in the topic but were concerned about how “weird” they would sound… Trust me, the internet is a big place. There’s always someone who’ll appreciate your weirdness! And as long as it’s PG rated, new posts on the topic can be linked to in the comments!

So next week, we keep working our creative sides as we explore What sort of boss we’d be.

Blog Azeroth Event: Secret Admirer Project

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Dristanel came up with a fantastic Secret Admirer idea! It sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to get to know some fellow bloggers!

Similar to Christmas’ Kris Kringle, interested bloggers can get in touch with her to be secretly paired with another blogger. Each participant then puts up a post on their own blog regarding the event and linking to the other bloggers. The purpose of this is two-fold: exposure for the community, and something the secret admirer can respond to. Said admirer then does so under an anonymous handle, adding poetry, flattery or other warm fuzzies, giving one subtle hint about their identity in each, for a total of three comments.

The first person to get back to Dristanel with a correct guess as to the identity of their admirer will win a small prize! At the end of the event, folks can make a new post with a final ‘open declaration of blog love’ for their assigned person, and of course links to the other posts if they so desire.

Sign ups run until Thursday (February 10th) and the event will take place over the weekend!

For more information and to sign up, you can get a hold of her at Blog Azeroth, at The Physician’s Log or via email at physicianslog at gmail dot com.

Shared Topic: Leave of WoW Absense


When you’re not playing WoW, what do you do? That was the theme of this week’s Shared Topic topic, suggested by Nim from Anhk = Life:

So after about a month of broken computer, it still can’t run WoW, which means I have to find other things to do to waste time. Which got me wondering how other people spend their WoW time when they can’t play WoW.

Eager to share their thoughts on time spent away from the game were:

Malfean from Raided M
Nim from Anhk = Life
Jen from Stories of WoW
Shawndra from Escapist Scrawl
Ophelie from The Bossy Pally and the Giant Spoon

The current week’s Shared Topic brings us right back into the game, and invites us to reveal a glimpse of our role playing side by posting a conversation with our character. Quite a few bloggers have stepped up to the challenge already and it’s bound to be an interesting week for Shared Topic posts!

Check out the Shared Topics forum at Blog Azeroth to join in on this or other Shared Topics!

    2. You may ask questions to the participants during the show, but we reserve the right to use them if and when we can. I will be monitoring the chat room and if I can I will use the comments during the show. We love that you are with us, but I will have to weave them in. Even if it isn’t asked, we all appreciate your questions

Outside of that, we will love to have you join us and partake in an enlightening discussion that is sure to follow! Hope to see you there!
