Felicia Day

I wanted to do more to help charity and other people with their creative visions in 2009, so to kick it off, I am very proud to partner with Humanety.com in a charity auction!
The winning bidder will win a live broadcast, 30 minute chat with me, to be edited and posted later as well on their website. 100% of proceeds go to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, a charity that gives out musical instruments to needy school systems and school children (the former violinist in me). I think this is a really cool project and a really web 2.0 way of supporting a charity, so when they approached me, I was automatically in. Watch the video I made on the Humanety website with more information about the auction, and check out the auction in the cool widget below! I appreciate it!!!

The Guild Episode #6: Blow Out is now posted! Please enjoy, and repost wherever you know people who might like the show! I’m especially proud of this and the last episode, they make me laugh quite a lot, and being able to weave the storylines together was very challenging in the short amount of time allotted in web video storytelling. I really hope it makes you chuckle .

I know this website has been a bit of a wasteland, I could make 1000 posts on how I completely burnt myself out the last 3 months of the year and how my computer phobia sent me into a paperback-reading binge that may have made me cross-eyed, LOL, but instead I will spread the good news of great things happening here instead!

A whole new site will be going up soon, along with a whole new blogging attitude from moi. Lots to post about that and the fantastic design and designer making it happen when it actually goes up, within a week or two. Be prepared to squeal with delight as I do. My whole approach to blogging will be changing too. I think having Twitter as my main source of communication on the web is great, but I realize it’s created an attitude in me where blog posts here have to be monumental in scope, long vast tracts of musings that take so much time for me to write that I put it off and end up not posting forever. I don’t think this should be the case, and am going to change that. So I’ll be posting more, linking to things I enjoy more, shorter entries, but hopefully creating a better dialogue with people who read here, because creating more communication is the key!

To that end, I will be phasing out the forums, because my neglect of them really makes my heart ache a bit, and since I simply can’t spread myself so thin anymore; consolidating places I need to go to communicate with people is my goal this year. I’ll still leave them up, but they will not be linked on the website as I want to drive traffic to this blog instead. The Guild Community Site is a great place to move any off-topic dialogues, as there’s a thriving number of groups dedicated to all subjects (Dr Horrible, Gaming, Guild, We Videos etc), and it has the ability to create profiles and meet more people. “Felicia-topics” (if I could call them that with a straight face, hehe) will be active here within my more frequent blog entries. If a topic emerges that the community wants to talk about I’ll make a blog entry about it so we can have more back and forth! Also, I will be making an effort to post on a variety of topics each week regularly; book reviews, web video production and acting to be the primary focus. So, that’s my solution and I’m sticking to it!

Hope you’re enjoying the new Guild Season, though it’s taken a lot out of me, when I watch the videos I’m wowed by all the hard work the crew and cast have put into them, and it makes all of the work worth it

Well, I’m pleased to announce that Episode 3 is up and running!  Here are the links:

We wrapped Guild shooting yesterday, I cannot actually believe we got through the whole script. We shot a feature-length script on weekends, starting out with no money, ending with an amazing sponsorship that melded independent web video with a big powerhouse distribution partner. Yesterday, the last day of shooting, I was able to sign checks to everyone who has worked for free or almost free the whole shoot. Being so close to Christmas it made me tear up because it was so exciting to compensate our actors and crew (I guess I’ll never be a really high-profile producer with that attitude, ha! )
I will be updating my blog much more frequently now that I actually have a few hours a day free, yay!
A few links I’d like to share with you:

Also, I am a fangirl for fantasy authors, that’s no surprise, and when I heard that Patrick Rothfuss, author of “Name of the Wind” one of my fave books of the last few years, was doing a fundraising drive for Heifer International I had to sign up. Check out his blog entry with the items I donated, a cast-signed DVD and a Dr Horrible signed poster from Comicon as well!

Last but not least, a really funny interview I did for the Jace Hall Show, a really cool gamer-oriented improv-style show on Crackle. Please enjoy me improvness!

I did a few press interviews last week, here are some links if you’re interested (I for one am a bit sick of Felicia Day, I definitely needed a weekend off of myself!!)

Whedonage has a 3 part video webcam interview with me, I talk about many many things with one of The Guild’s and my most loyal and supportive fans Higlet!!  Thx for the opportunity!!!

Also, WOW Insider did a podcast interview with me on Wednesday.  I like podcasts because I don’t have to comb my hair.

And here’s a link to an edited LIVE interview I did with The Game Show on thestream.tv! It was really fun!
The Game Show – Wrath of the Day

Hope everyone is enjoying Turkey long weekend.  I’m very much taking advantage of my few days off for the holiday, I read 5 paperbacks in 48 hours and I’ve got a migrane but feel cleansed somehow.   I’ll be reviewing and posting about them this week, can’t wait to get back in the groove of blogging and having a small bit of downtime for the little things, cleaning my kitchen and buying new mascara at the drug store so I don’t get an eye infection.   I think I set my own record for not turning on the computer for like, 48 hours in a row!  It felt a little detox-y.  Rest assured I did have time staring at a screen, I played Xbox with my brother, Streetfighter HD, Geometry Wars and watched him play Fable 2 with my character, making her into a fighter against my instructions and dressing her like a harlot.  I think I’ll be creating a new character after his visit is over haha   I’m gonna go play WOW all night, hope your Friday night is as enjoyable and indulgent!!

OH!  BTW, Dr. Horrible DVD is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com!!! OMG, it’s gonna be so epic, let me be on the record: the musical commentary track will truly blow you away!
