Memorial Day 3XP + Social Club Event
Rockstar is hosting another six-hour Social Club event covering all of their current games on Saturday May 25 from 12:00 - 18:00 EDT (17:00 - 23:00 BST). Unlike the previous such event where each game was played for about two hours, this time all five games will be played all six hours (in addition to Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV, Max Payne 3, Midnight Club Los Angeles, and Rockstar Table Tennis will be played).
Triple XP will be active Friday through Monday for Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3.

Short radio interview with Rob Wiethoff
A short radio interview with Rob Wiethoff, the voice of John Marston, was just posted in association with his participation in the Port City Pop Con. What was especially interesting to me is that the interview was partially conducted by an actor in one of the funniest web series around, Doraleous and Associates.

Red Dead Revolver now on PSN
Rockstar Games announced today (link below) that Red Dead Revolver is now available for purchase as a downloadable "PS2 Classic" from the PlayStation Store, along with two other PS2-era Rockstar games (Bully and Midnight Club 3). Each title is $9.99 in the U.S. store. For those outside the U.S., check your local PlayStation Store for pricing.
As a "PS2 Classic", the title will be exactly as it was on the PS2, meaning no graphical improvements, trophy support, etc. This is still a great opportunity for PS3 owners to check out the predecessor to Red Dead Redemption (and to contribute to the wiki along the way, right?).

Friday November 16 Social Club Event
On Friday November 16 from 11:00 - 14:00 Eastern Time (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM), Rockstar is hosting a Social Club Multiplayer Event (follow the link for full details). Triple XP will be active throughout the weekend and the event will include both PSN and XBL users.
During the event, Social Club members can enter a drawing to win a Rockstar prize pack (t-shirt, RDR playing cards, and stickers). I was fortunate enough to win a pack in a previous event and have included a couple of photos below to show the contents.
In addition to Social Club events, Rockstar developers also periodically have impromptu one hour sessions that are announced via Twitter and Facebook.
Wiki fiction navigation
Since a number of writers have popped up around the wiki, producing short stories about Red Dead Redemption, I wanted to set up something for those writers to help people find other stories they've written as well as other authors around the wiki. The template below is my attempt to do this. If this seems worthwhile, I'd encourage people to add it to the bottom of any stories they write and populate the template with links for any new fiction that is written.
(This is just a first pass, so I apologize if I missed anyone here.)
