The Future of New Brighton
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Bernard Herzog, the owner of New Brighton, recently sent notice out regarding the sim’s future. It costs 355US$ a month (295$ + 20% VAT) in fees to Linden Lab to maintain New Brighton – a huge sum which I can no longer afford. Therefore, changes must be made. I’d hate to [...]
Another Wicked Store
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER As mentioned in my article on Spaceport a few weeks ago, I saw a number of vendors who carry airships (spaceships if you’re in space, airship if you’re in planetary space). I’m finally getting around to reviewing them. It’s not really a surprise you’ll find Wicked Kitty Industries (WKI) on [...]
Time To Be Had
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT (Note: Jellie wrote this poem about Moonletters at Penny Lane. Some of the references you won’t understand unless you’re familiar with the place, such as running from Wilbur. I’d rather not say who Wilbur is, but if you ever choose “Wilbur” on the teleport menu you’ll know!–Shauna) —————————————- With a [...]
Ramones Tribute at Dear Prudence
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Old school punk fans will be pleased to know that Dear Prudence Rock Club is having a tribute to The Ramones today at 2pm SLT (10pm GMT). I’ll be there myself in the last hour, so if you like the Ramones and have nothing better to do, drop by! Visit Inworld: [...]
Big Addition To Penny Lane Sim
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’ve added something rather big to the Penny Lane sim. Keyword here is big. That’s right. We have mountains! Unfortunately you can’t fly over and land on them, since they are technically outside the sim border, but I like imagining I have a house over the hilltop anyway. No, these are [...]
More Manga-inspired Avatars and Animations
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Sister Pay’s been busy lately, meeting new people at The Game Corner, many of them wonderful Furries. She met one woman, however, who was delightfully animated and wearing a wonderful avatar from Mamesando. Plucking the landmark from her hand, sis launched on over to check out the store and came [...]
Today’s Article Set To Private
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE If you saw the article I posted earlier today, you’ll notice it is now gone. Why? I have set it private since it was brought to my attention my post might possibly get someone into a bit of trouble. While I enjoy a good laugh–and hopefully you laughed if you read [...]
Moonletters Forum Second Try
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hey everyone. Just as the Moonletters Forum got rolling we had a bit of a malfuction; an obscure body in the SK system, and possibly a glitch in the matrix too. Oh, all right. It was just me! Though I have previous experience running forums, this is the first time I [...]
Building Stuff for Noobs
BY WRITER GRAZ FIRECASTER This article is aimed at people who would like to build things in Second Life but haven’t got a clue where to start. If you’re an experienced builder you might want to skip this article completely. If you do decide to read on please try to refrain from pointing and laughing [...]
Arys Palen Plays Her Cards
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER I’ve been posting alot about cards in SL and here I am, doing it again! But this time, and again I had to sit on the story for a couple months, it’s about art rather than games. I don’t think Arys Palen is hitching a ride on a trend but [...]
Antique Radio
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I found a real little beauty when I was looking for a radio station for some land. I wasn’t looking for anything too complicated, but just wanted a simple radio station since I’d seen Jukeboxes around that didn’t require URLs or software. On the hunt for a Jukebox I came [...]
Brighton Rock Furniture Set
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Recently, I found a set of furniture at LISP Bazaar that the SL mods might find interesting. It’s called Brighton Rock, and looks great with a tweedy sofa, badly drawn cat chair, retro modern sideboard, mod target side table, and more. Each item is sold individually at different prices: The tweedy [...]
Yet Another Clever Card Game
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Wizards of the Coast should be very pleased with yet another card game that emulates the Magic the Gathering collectible card game. This one is very reminiscent but adds a dice “energy” system to take the place of gathering Mana [...]
Moonletters Community
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi everyone! There’s a new option on the menu up top called “Community.” This leads to a new area on the site that I’ve opened for all Second Life residents to hang out in. Here you can talk about whatever you like (within reason), and you don’t need to reveal your [...]
Behind Every Silver Lining
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Last week I wrote about all the wonderful, bountiful goodness that flows from the wellspring of Second Life. On reflection, it struck me that maybe I was a little too enthusiastic about the miraculous properties of Second Life and, after several re-readings of the piece, I realised I’d made the [...]
Subculture
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’ve been busier than usual inworld. Friends visiting at Moonletters town tend to see me on radar but not in the vicinity as I usual am. It’s not that I’m hiding (ok, I am hiding a little bit) but that I’m in the sky working. After giving it some thought, I’ve [...]
GCD Club Equipment
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER This week, Shauna wrote about the amazing one prim grand piano and that is quite an amazing feat. But if I want a guitar, I want more than one prim, and now that Gibson guitars has left SL, where can we go? Well, one place I know is GCD. Classic [...]
Friendships
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT You know when you log on to Second Life and none of your friends are online? You just know that cannot be right, then when you re-log you find out it isn’t? Well, Second Life decided to take a step up from that and wipe my entire friends list. Thankfully [...]
One Prim Piano
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE If you’re a regular reader of Moonletters.com you’ll know that one thing that impresses me is high quality, low prim items. As a land owner I pay attention to every prim I use (and every prim everyone else uses), so when something cool comes along that takes up a mere one [...]
Moody Mondays has Begun
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Okay, so I’m a day late and a Linden short, but there’ll be plenty of Mondays to follow. And don’t we all need a pick-me-up to get through a typical Monday-begins-the-long-agonizing-week-ahead? So my Plurkbuddy Kat Alderson and her friend Jemmie Clowes have set up a new SL Sale Day called [...]
The Elegant Goth
BY WRITER LACEWING MESMERISER So there I am, doing my 60 Linden thing on a Sunday morning, and I land at The Elegant Goth. I’ve never been here before and go off wandering to see if the offer item is on a working display somewhere (funnily enough, still wearing my floaty Phantom of the Opera [...]
It’s Good News Week!
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER A recent discussion with a friend about things that happen in Second Life gave rise to the comment that there’s better news on the Moonletters’ site than in the newspapers! How sad that the real world in which we have to live is so full of bad news that there’s [...]
A Foot in Both Worlds
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Want to know what you and your partner’s kid might look like? I was curious, so using morph technology, I decided to experiment. I had to try real life first. Here’s my husband and I, and our imaginary son, Ace. The next thing I did was a bit demented. I crossed [...]
The Killing Moon Returning to Impromptu
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. There will be no Saturday event today at the Killing Moon. After giving it some thought I’ve decided to return the place to how it was previously, the local pub where people hang out and have impromptu parties and get togethers. Nothing bad has happened! The events went well [...]
Splintered Rock Expands in New Direction
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER It’s been a long time since I’ve written about a place near and dear to my SL heart: Splintered Rock. I’ve actually been keeping a very tight lid on this story that has been developing over the past several months, having participated in my own small way (that’s me in [...]
Can I Have a Hug Please?
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT It recently occurred to me that if I met someone in real life who I hug in Second Life, I might not feel comfortable hugging the stranger that I know a lot about (or as much as they wish to tell me). A friend said if she hugged someone in [...]
Find a Job
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I’ve put a space in Moonletters town where people can hire staff or find jobs. We have more traffic at Penny Lane than many job agencies in SL, and much less expensive since I’m only charging 25L per week. I’ve also included space for those who just want to [...]
My Hot Ducati
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER “I was trying to resist buying the Ducati Diavel Pro with its 3 levels of wheel burn until I saw that it was 50% off!” And am I glad I did! What really impresses me with this hot bike, however, is the control I have over turning speed. For me, [...]
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 [...]
Privacy Piracy
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER A recent excursion to a rather beautiful private island brought a chance meeting with the sim’s owner. We exchanged pleasantries for a moment and she was perfectly willing for me to look around although with one exception: “Please, not the private homes.” This was, of course, a perfectly reasonable request [...]
