Banned Books
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER It was surprisingly challenging to come up with a book to write about for Banned Books Week – not because it’s difficult to find suitable books, but for quite the opposite reason! The number of books that have been banned or found themselves on the wrong end of censorship is [...]
Life
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Life, it’s a funny old game, and we are the lucky ones to get a second chance at it, a second life; but while we live and love and experience such great things in this world, are we neglecting or improving our first life? For some, Second Life is our [...]

My Banned Books Week Challenge Article
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Last month, I issued an SL bloggers challenge to commemorate Banned Books Week in SL, by writing about a favorite book that had been challenged at libraries in efforts to prevent others from reading it.

Letter From the Past
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Dear Gang, After reading Jellie Arrowmint’s letter from the future, I was determined to find out how she sent that note. Time travel is one of those things that fascinate me, so I’ve had a bee in my bonnet ever since Thursday. Current-day Jellie had no clue how her future self [...]
The Crooked House
BY WRITER LACEWING MESMERISER I shop, I resist the urge to (expensively) re-invent my home, then I see near the bottom of the sidebar “Strange & Mysterious.” Well, red rag to a bull, I’m in there! That’s how I ended up in The Crooked House. As I write I am resting on a bed in [...]

Community Spirit
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER It was always better in the ‘good old days’ – at least, that’s how it always seems when we start reminiscing and thinking about the past. Put a bunch of people of a certain age together in a relaxed social setting, perhaps with a little liquid lubricant and it won’t [...]
New One Prim Piano
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE You may remember me talking about creator Ample Clarity’s Amazing 1 Prim Livingroom as well as his 1 prim piano. Well, Ample has just released a piano upgrade which he sent me a copy of. I’ve displayed it proudly on stage at The Killing Moon pub, and it’s even nicer than the [...]
The Story in Your Eyes
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER I read about Poetic Colors in Stacia Villota’s Virtual Neko blog about the new Cat Eyes series and had to check them out.

The Good Life
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER I don’t know why I have a feeling I’ve written about DrLife before, though I did have screenshots from a visit back in April. A second visit this week has definitely inspired me to write about marvelous skin and hair products from someone who’s been around a long time. Much [...]
Here Be Dragons
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Whether we choose to admit it or not, there’s a part in most of us that wants to believe in the fantastic and magical. Whether it’s dragons, wizards, vampires, fairies or mythical creatures, in some small way we’d like them to be real. A quick glance at publishers’ bestsellers lists [...]
Just Around the Corner
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I was recently thinking about how I have a pattern to what I do. We are creatures of habit, and tend to go where we feel comfortable in Second Life the majority of the time, with just the occasional trip to unfamiliar territory. I recently took a visit to a [...]
Cuddly Pets
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I was tempted to call this post something else since I’m showing off a donkey in the picture. lol If you go to Stray Pig, you’ll find ten lucky boards. Eight are adorable sculpted pets you can hold. A donkey, sheep, pig, mynah bird,etc. The donkey moves its little ears, and turns it’s head [...]
Reintroduce Yourself to DamselFly Hair
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER As I may have mentioned in a previous post, before I attend Hair Fair, I go through my hair folders and ruthlessly winnow through the items that have no future sitting on top of my head. I have no idea whether these hairs were bought or freely gained on hunts [...]
Poe Dress 60L
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I put the Poe Dress up for sale for 60L Weekend. Figured I’d leave it out an extra day since it seems to be popular. There’s another dress for half price, and a dress you can “haggle” for upstairs. The haggle box is pretty cheeky, but you’re guaranteed to get a good price [...]
God in Second Life
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE This week assistant editor Paypabak Writer and staff writer Feral Mossrider have been writing about spirituality in Second Life. Thought I’d give it a mention as well while we’re on the subject. I regularly meet with friends at the local pub in Moonletters town. Though we get together in a pixel world, the time I [...]
Solitude Together in Meditation
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Welcome to Moonletters.com Spirituality Week! LOL!

I’m not going to go into a lot of first life detail here but [...]
In Search of Spirituality
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Assistant Editor Paypabak Writer’s article earlier this week, exploring some of the offerings that Second Life proffers for those of us seeking to feed the soul and find enlightenment, prompted my thoughts towards one of those areas I would normally avoid writing about. It’s not that I personally have any [...]
Dear Random Strangerintown

Call For Participation – 1000L
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I recently participated in a study where they paid me 1000L. It was easy, and did not take long. Since they’re still looking for people, I thought I’d pass on their “Call For Participation.” I don’t get anything for spreading the word on this. I just thought some of [...]
Spiritual Journey in SL
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Over the past month or so, I’ve used my sister alt, Pay Writer, to join groups in order to receive notices and explore groups and sims that seriously pursue contemplative practices in Second Life. I did so because Pay is stripped down in groups and friends so as to explore [...]

Identity Theft

(Not) Closing Down Sale
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT There seems to be quite a number of closing down sales, and although they make be sad for the owner of the store, it’s a chance for us, the consumer, to get a real bargain. When we see the rows of clothes reduced to a mere 50 or 10 Lindens, [...]
