reBourne Multi-Scene Skybox
If you want a home in the sky but aren’t sure what environment you’d like with it, reBourne has released a multi-scene skybox. It contains 111 backgrounds to choose from. It does come with a building but that’s really just a viewing area rather than a home. If you prefer, you can remove that and [...]
Taking Care of Business
Years ago, long before SL was launched, there was a real web industry buzz about virtual worlds. I remember a meeting I had in the city with a web startup company who were looking for a programmer for their latest project. The fresh faced, wacky haired “creative” was enthusiastically telling me all about how the [...]
Subculture Inworld
Hi gang. I’ve been having technical difficulties with the Second Life Marketplace since they eliminated magic boxes. Even though I’ve tried to follow their new method the site crawls like a turtle for me and doesn’t show the new stuff I’ve sent to it. I would encourage anyone who shops at Subculture to come to [...]
Marketplace Magic Boxes Phasing Out
If you sell on the Marketplace and are still using Magic Boxes you need to read this. As you already know, about a year ago, we introduced Direct Delivery, a more reliable and faster method to deliver merchandise to your Second Life Marketplace customers. To complete the migration from Magic Boxes to Direct Delivery, we’re [...]
6 Tips For Selling On The SL Marketplace
I’ve been selling on the SL Marketplace for a couple of years now and have nearly 400 items listed. While the Marketplace will never replace an inworld location for me, I can’t imagine not having it. Sales are good on the Marketplace. It’s the way people tend to shop now, and some creators claim it’s [...]
Why Shopping Inworld is Still Cool
In the old days of Second Life (you tired of me saying that yet?) if you were going to go shopping you’d visit an inworld location you found in search, from a friend’s landmark, or from the picks section of a person’s profile. These days shopping is a little different. Most people use the SL [...]
iON Scooter-U
Just got a new scooter, and am quite pleased with it. It looks great, is copyable, and just 29 prims. You also have a choice of 6 colours (I like red). Scooter sells for 320L on the marketplace. See more specs: iON Scooter-U
Shaga Realistic Eyes
I’ve tried out a few different eyes (all blue) but have to say Shaga Realistic Eyes is my favourite so far. I would have happily paid for these since they’re the nicest I’ve had, but you can get them for just 1 linden on the marketplace. More colours are available for 10L each or 75L [...]
Subculture’s Feature On Marketplace Bittersweet
If you’re a regular reader of Moonletters you’ll know that an outfit I made is being worn by a model on the front page of the Marketplace. I waited before commenting on this, because I do not want to seem ungrateful. Actually, I feel quite honoured. (It’s the front page of the marketplace! Yay!) But [...]
Subculture Outfit Featured On Marketplace
Some news. I was pleased to hear that a Subculture outfit has been featured on the front page of the Marketplace. Fashion blogger and photographer Harper Beresford is wearing one of my newer outfits as an example of “madstyle.” For those interested, the name of the outfit is “B&W Mod Skirt.” Thanks to Harper for [...]
Keywords For Grownups
BY SHAUNA SKYE If you’ve seen the clothes I make you’ll know that aside from short skirts showing a bit of leg, the dresses are pretty modest. For instance, I don’t make tops with just a strip of tape covering the chest and, heck, even the skirts have real underpants. It’s not that I have [...]
Sharing Marketplace Items on Facebook
BY SHAUNA SKYE Ok, I know I’m slow sometimes, but I only just now realized that I can “share” and “like” marketplace items, which will then appear on my facebook page and on the walls of loads of people. What this means is I can shamelessly announce new Subculture outfits. Yeah baby! As a side [...]
Marketplace Sales Higher Than Inworld Sales?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE A fellow content creator gave me a link to a discussion on the forums. It seems inworld sales are down for many people who run stores, and that the majority of sales are happening on the marketplace instead. I’ve heard this from a few others as well. For me it depends [...]
There Be Dragons …
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Warning: I will not be held responsible for your financial ruin if you love dragons and continue reading this article. So I get this call from my sister/alt squealing and all excited about dragons. She’s such an excitable girl! I wrote about The Alliance in the July 2009 issue of [...]
Two Classy Retro Spacecraft
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER It’s been awhile since I wrote about Spaceport but I am finally getting around to this and other articles stemming from it. Part of the reason this article took so long to get posted is I really tried to find an inworld store for these two ships (and to see [...]
Return to SLV2: Physics Lessons
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Is this an annual thing for me? I seem to have done this before: thrown my arms up in disgust over the way my SL viewer of preference is performing and go back to the “other” third party viewer. Well, on recommendations from a couple of close friends, I downloaded [...]
Maid Wanted
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I’ve been a bit busy lately, but I’m happy to report my Second Life home is free of pixeldust. My friend Evelyn Hitchcock went around my place cleaning up with a duster. Hey, I didn’t ask for this, and I’m much too cheap to pay a maid, but she [...]
Three Cheers for Fianna Idora
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER My sister went to Fianna Idora what seems like years ago and asked her to make a one-of-a-kind skin for her wife, Dreams. Fi took illustrations of Pay and placed them like tattoos on her body. At the time, Fi had been doing her own line of skins. Fianna bounces [...]
“Somewhere Between Insanity and Your Left Shoe”
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER During my explorations following various Manga-themed leads, I came across an island cohabited by Shapeshifter Studios (Total Shift) and Kinzart Keetures (KzK) who are more in the line of Furry avatars than Manga. The former had some interesting dinosaur shaped avatars, while the latter has very well done canine, feline, [...]
Twelve Days of Christmas
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Sorry! You’ve already missed a day, but get over to Exodi & WoE for their twelve days of Christmas event. Go ahead, use the SLurl at the bottom of the article; I’ll wait. They are giving away twelve sets of presents under their tree in the center of the [...]

From Dusk til Dawn
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE This may shock some of you beyond belief, and I know some will be thinking I really did have that breakdown after all, but I’m actually going to write about a place that advertises nude dancing, girls girls girls, and hot calientes. No, I’m not talking about Dear Prudence Rock Club. [...]
Arcadia Asylum’s Builds Being Sold
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Recently I came across something that irritated me. There are people on Xstreet actually selling Arcadia Asylum’s builds. For those newer to Second Life, or who never got into knowing the names of famous builders, Arcadia Asylum is a legendary creator. At one time she made the highest quality builds in [...]
Special SHAG Sale on XStreet
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER My neighbor is selling a beautiful nine-piece furniture set that normally goes for L$ 1,935 for L$ 299 as an XStreet Xclusive for a limited time. I’ve written up SHAG before during her irreverent Valentine’s Day sale and continue to admire the ingenuity and craftsmanship of her products. All [...]
Mod Dress and Boots For 10 Lindens
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Being a northern bloke interested in whippets, pigeons and flat caps whilst drinking pints down at t’Rovers, I’m pretty unaware of wimmins fashion in Second Life. But despite this poor level qualification, even I can recognise a bargain, and I feel I spotted one for all you modettes out there [...]
Get Ani-Mated with Friends!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Over the years, I’ve experienced second hand various ways of getting linked together with others dancing. Chimeras and HUDs appear to be the main means of forgoing the dance ball devices in clubs, or particularly useful when you’re not in a club! Likewise, posing for various modeling assignments can [...]
My New Free AO
BY REPORTER MADAME1111 QUINTESSA As I started in Second Life, I found shoes with bling and a sexy walk. I was completely sure that this was the ultimative kick, but after watching myself with my hips moving from left to right, I felt seasick. Since that day I’ve been searching for animation overriders (AOs), bought [...]
Free Scooter
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE For those who would like a scooter but are low on lindens, I’ve found a free one for you. Get it on Xstreet: Scooter Rétro
All Victorian Houses
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I love old fashioned Victorian style houses. I find a beauty and warmth to them lacking in most contemporary styles. Though I’ve been known to be fond of urban grunge ala Maddison Mokeev of Cloud 9, and the cyberpunk settings fit for roleplaying and science fiction, when it comes to where [...]
