Remember when I said
Felicia is working on a Secret Project™ that I'm lucky enough to know about … holy frakking shit balls on fire, you guys. When you know what it is, your mind will be blown right out of your skull so hard it will bounce off the wall and land on the ground next to your socks, which were also knocked right off your feet and through your shoes.
Well, Felicia announced her Secret Project today:
Star of The Guild, costar of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, general Joss Whedon go-to guest star and geek dream girl Felicia Day is set to write and star in a six-episode web series based on BioWare’s Dragon Age franchise. The web series, dubbed Dragon Age: Redemption, will follow Day’s character and elvish assassin (of my heart) Tallis, who is in search of a rogue mage in the land of Ferelden, which is the world in which Dragon Age: Origins took place, as well as the world in which the upcoming Dragon Age installment will take place.
I know, right? I've known about this for months and I couldn't say a thing about it. And you know what? [REDACTED SO FELICIA DOESN'T STAB ME IN THE NECK].
Oh, the terrible burden of secrecy, how will I ever shoulder it? Oh, I know! Guinness is +1 to Strength.
All kidding aside, I'm really proud of Felicia and as happy for her as a person can be. I know what she went through to make this project happen, and let's just say that it was a lot. She's one of the most remarkable people I know, and I consider myself lucky to be her friend and occasional co-worker.
Dude, that is awesome sauce. Felicia is pure gold and the idea of something she crafts in the Dragon Age world is GENIUS. I can’t wait.
Here here!!
Hope it keeps going after the 6 episode run, and more importantly I hope you get casted as a Darkspawn. You play a perfect villain!
Great news indeed! Guinness may be +1 to Strength but isn’t it also -2 on Saves vs. Betray Secrets? Now excuse me, I have a mind to pick up off the socks on the floor.
Now I have to go and play DragonAge…
Where?
That’s so awesome! Now I’ve got to go update http://www.cracked.com/funny-3352-felicia-day/
I did not know you can deliver such graphic description of excitement, Wil, but it is awesome that you are happy and that you have friends you feel lucky about.
uh, Wil, I clicked on Read My Other Work – End User…and there is some stuff by some guy Agen Schmitz

Aww… Tallis was the name of the kitty my wife had when we moved in together. She was ornery, but sweet, as all good kitties are. Do her proud, Felicia Day, do her proud.
Just caught Dr. Horrible the other week. Pretty good. Can’t wait to see this new project.
Also, just saw this on thinkgeek.

“Guinness is +1 to Strength.”
This on a black tee, with the toucan in full armour, maybe a two-horned helm. Just sayin’
This.
What is it we say? Squee? Well, SQUEE!
Dragon Age is wonderful, for sure, but I’m sort of especially giddy to see Felicia Day, this great cast and crew, all being put toward a dramatic project for the web, which is sort of swimming in comedies right now. That this project will be tying that drama to Dragon Age is like a bonus.
I know, right? I tried my damnedest to get her to write in at least one AXETACKLE, but I was unsuccessful.
Do you get to have a part in this project in some way? I love a good Wil and Felicia combo. It’s level of awesomeness exceeds description.
Either way, looking forward to seeing how this project unfolds. Talented girl, that one.
I think everyone should change their profile shot to include a picture with Felicia in support of her good news.
I grew up with too few female role-models and I’m so thrilled Felicia Day is around for my nieces!
Also, speaking of +1 http://plusoneme.com/
She is on the Late Night show with Jimmy Fallon talking about it tonight. I cant watch it until tomorrow though, so having it recorded.

Well since DA2 just came out I’m sure this is getting a spike. Wil, I kinda do want to gank you for not sharing this sooner. Just an FYI.
