Second Life’s 22nd Birthday Celebrations: Important Stuff to Know

Last night, I heard my phone make that particular chime that signified there was an email from Linden Lab,or something Blogger Network related. Could there be another Zoom Call already? What might this one be about? Are they going to force reset everyone’s passwords yet?

Nay my dear readers, it’s an advanced list of all the SL Birthday celebrations info, dates and links all in one place.

Last year I was able to snag a Premium Plus Lifetime membership, (which I’d saved up for since the previous year) so not much can top that to be honest. Let’s see what they have for us, shall we? I am quite curious about what the new Last Names will be though, because an old friend has made a return to SL and is looking to ditch their old Resudent name, I suggested she wait until this list came out. I hope there’s some better than Myth on the list!

One thing I was disappointed to see however is that some of “Meet the Lindens” talks are going to be pre-recorded. How is that “meeting” the Lindens if the residents aren’t there? At least there is a live session with Philip on the Wednesday, but someone that’s conspicuous by their absence; Where’s Brad on that schedule?

Anyway, here’s your schedule:

The Fairelands Masked Ball 2024

Yesterday was the second annual Fantasy Faire Masked Ball, as usual it was very busy. Held over two Regions there were over 150 avatars in attendance,all dressed in their best finery. As many will know it’s quite tricky to be in such an environment without computer stability issues. However I was able to capture a few images to show those that weren’t able to attend, or did attend but were unable to view the whole scene.

It’s that time again! Fantasy Faire 2024 dates are announced!

Everyone has had a busy few weeks with festive celebrations and the start of a New Year. None of which I blogged about because, well everyone else was, and given the year I had in 2023, I skipped the “Year Review” post too.

However I couldn’t let today’s news go by without comment. The dates of Fantasy Faire 2024, the event of the Second Life year for many, have been announced. So it’s time to mark your calendar and cancel/make no plans for just under 3 weeks:

18th April – 5th May 2024

Below is the announcement post by Sonya Marmurek.

Somewhere in the Mists the giraffes graze. They reach for the leaves of Yggdrasil, wade in the waters of Glimmering Meadows. On occasion a clip-clop of unicorn hooves can be heard in the distance. A snuffle of a hedgehog under the most royal of shrubberies feels more sleepy than alarmed. The Fairelands winter in the […]

Fantasy Faire 2024, April 18 – May 5

Fallen Angel

One of my favourite songs is Wish I Had an Angel by Nightwish, it has some very enticing lyrics and every so often I’m inspired to create an Angel avatar. This time there’s a second reason to create one, the Fallen God & Goddess Contest 2023.

While I was exploring the Renaissance Festival event I thought about how I would stage the photo. I wanted a classic pose, but one that didn’t put me in a position that would obscure the details of the Fallen Gods items. Which was when I came across this gorgeous harp, which was perfect.

Last dance, first kiss
Your touch, my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

Wish I Had an Angel, Nightwish

If you want to participate in the Fallen Gods contest, entries are open until 7th October and voting begins on the 9th. Details of how to apply and the rules can be gound on the Fallen Gods Blog.

The Carving

The fresh wounds were sore today,but they had to be endured. To try and alleviate the discomfort she would wear as little as she could get away with and stand in the sun after the marking ceremony. The markings didn’t half hurt when they were carved into her skin, revealing the dark flesh below, but they were what gave her power. So under the light of each new moon, the Elders set to work on her with the ritual knives, to replenish her magics potency. They had tried using tattoos on her skin,some of which still remained on her forearms,but they were not a fraction as effective as cutting the designs into her flesh.

The Vigil

Having collected a few outfits over the Shop n Hop and other events for Halloween, I thought I’d explore the Halloween Haunted Nieghbourhood for locations to photograph them, so this is the first.

Remember the Shop n Hop finishes on the 1st of November, so some of the items may not be available after that, so be quick!

Flipping the switch by the front door and no lights come on, she sighs and picks up the lamp sat on the reception counter and ascends the dark stairwell. She’s been told the room she has to attend the midnight Vigil is at the top of the stairs to the right, so she makes her way there. Presuming the room with bars and padded walls wasn’t her destination, she takes the *other* right into a bedroom that looks like it’s not seen a duster in decades. Taking a quick look around at the dirty room, she dusts off the least dirty chair, which happened to be a wheelchair, and sits to await the family or any others that might be attending.

The rest of the place was just as creepy on the way upstairs..

The stores are arranged around the edge of a circular space station, all along one side making shopping so much easier!
