Revamping
BY SHAUNA SKYE Have you ever deleted anything other than inventory? If so, how did you feel after you removed it? Maybe it was a project, a store, or your Second Life home. Or perhaps it was a “friend” or a list of people. Maybe you don’t delete, you just “remodel” which in some cases [...]
Pants on the Ground
BY SHAUNA SKYE My little SL brother Shane Wildmist asked if it would be cool for him to wear this: Rather than give my opinion, I thought I’d let Larry Platt answer instead. He says it much better! If, by chance, you would like to wear your pants on the ground, you can pay 299L [...]
X
BY SHAUNA SKYE Ok, promised I’d answer why there is a letter X after Moonletters now. My friend Jellie Arrowmint said she thought I planned to add two more Xs after the one that’s already there. If I did traffic here would probably soar, but, alas, that’s not true. Just one X! The following is [...]
So, What’s Up With Moonletters?
BY SHAUNA SKYE 95% of the time I seem like a well balanced person–at least I think I do. This is not to say I am one, though. I’m often flying with the fairies in my head, but I know enough about the world to not tell anyone this–usually. To survive one needs to blend [...]
Christmas Card From Me

BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Christmas Surprise ‘Twas the nightbefore Christmas and in Second Life’s night not a creature was stirring – No avatar in sight.

An Early Merry Christmas
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Over the holiday season one can get sentimental thinking about people we love. I’m no exception. In particular I am thankful to one person, someone who means more to me than words can express; my husband Julian. Yes, he’s my hero, my knight in shining armour, and my best friend. When [...]

Linden Lab to Kill V1 Viewers?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE My friend Serendipidy Haven sent me a link to the Jessica Lyon Firestorm and Phoenix Q & A session with Nigma Sterling of Rockcliffe University video a few days ago. Seren managed to get a question in to Project Manager Jessica Lyon, addressing one of my bigger issues with the Firestorm [...]
Sweet Lovely Cute: Watch Your Body Language!
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER After providing some help on handling animation overrides, I thought I might point readers toward a store I discovered, new to me but well-established, called Body Language SLC. If you go to The Deck rather than the Main Store, both SLurls listed below, you can also check out Adorkable for [...]
The Part of SL That Really is a Game
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Karma Avedon recently wrote about the new Linden Realms. Karma cracks me up with some of the stuff she says, and actually messaged me to ask if, as an editor, I minded if she used the term “asshat” in her article. (Had to laugh.) I was glad Karma reviewed Linden Realms, and I agree [...]
Virtual Realms
BY STAFF WRITER KARMA AVEDON If you have been to the Second Life website at all, then you have seen it. Linden Lab is throwing a huge marketing push behind “Linden Realms” a new inworld game from Linden Lab. It is splashed across the first page. It is splashed across the SL Viewer when you [...]
The Many Faces
This morning Serendipidy Haven wrote on her blog about people who make new Second Life accounts and pretend to be noobs. This is something I’ve run across a lot over the years, and due to this, and the nature of Second Life itself, it’s difficult for me to see someone with the rez date of “today” [...]
Deus Ex Machina
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Sometimes my mind wanders off into a fantasy world – a strange place, full of ‘what ifs?’ and ‘I wonder?’. Much of the time it does no harm, and ideas just bumble around my head until they run out of steam – It’s usually just supposition and benign thoughts on [...]
Thursday News
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Staff writer Jellie Arrowmint is taking some time off until after the holidays, so I thought I’d update you on some things happening in Moonletters town and in general. 1. First up, I’ve made a Christmas outfit in the Subculture style. Since it’s a holiday outfit I’m pricing it just 60L. [...]
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 [...]
How To … Animation Overrides 201
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER A few weeks ago, I wrote about how to set up an animation overrider that uses a HUD. Imprudence (complete docs here) and Phoenix both developed built-in AO devices that cut down on scripts and the use of a HUD. You basically move all your animations into a designated folder, [...]
Phoenix Mesh Update Available Now
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE At last, the mesh enabled version of Phoenix viewer is available. This is due to the efforts of Henri Beauchamp of the Cool VL Viewer. Thank you Henri! I, for one, appreciate the work you’ve put in. While Phoenix having mesh is good news, on the down side this may be the [...]

Rag Tag Records
BY STAFF WRITER KARMA AVEDON Who does not like hanging out in the record store? In real life, I know I have spent hours upon hours walking through the stacks of vinyl at an old record store, trying to find some gems among the dusty stacks of records. The local record store was always a [...]
Writer’s Dilemma
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER It’s been one of those days when the words just won’t come, still, a Moonletters’ piece will have to be done, but, with no copy to send, I confessed to the boss – “When it comes to this week’, I’m at a bit of a loss!” She gave me that [...]
Download Time
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I recently downloaded a music track that I’d been waiting for ages to buy, and my pc showed the usual download time. Thankfully ‘8 Days’ quickly went down to ‘3 minutes’ and although it’s good to know how long things will take to download, it’s not always possible for us [...]
The Way We Think
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Recently I read a book called “The Gift in You” bye Dr Caroline Leaf. She explains that with imaging technology, scientists have learned that the brain is divided up into seven sections or “pillars.” Different activity occurs in each of these sections, and while everyone uses all seven of the pillars [...]
Heavy
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER A tip of the hat to The Laverne Unit for the lead on a very different handling of eyes. Two styles of eyes, Illusive (shown here) and Deus (shown in Laverne’s blog), are offered and you change control of various aspects of the color of your eyes. With the HUD, [...]
Oak Gazebo For 10L
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Kidd Grass Garden has loads of nice stuff for landscaping, from lovely grass, trees, and flowers, to the coolest water sprinkler. I’d like to draw your attention to something else though: the Oak Gazebo! Not only does it look great, and have ten sit animations, but it’s a mere 10L. [...]
Animal Island
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE One thing I love in first life are animals. If I hear of someone being cruel to an animal my reaction varies between sadness and outrage. I also lose patience with people who treat animals like objects. I have a particular affection for dogs and puppies, but it’s not just pets I [...]

Friendly Advice
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER It’s confession time! I, like most people have my bad habits, particularly when it comes to knuckling down and writing some copy for Moonletters – I am a world champion procrastinator and if I can find anything at all – and I do mean anything – that will serve as [...]
