Cartoon of The Day: Dying in SL

 

Taken at Furry Fashion. While your avatar can be sent back to it's home location (or a newbie area if you didn't set one), unless you or the Lindens delete your account, an avatar can't truly die. But some avatars make it look like you did.

Furry Fashion Staff Member Needs Help With Vet Care

 

A member of the staff at Furry Fashion has a problem. This would be Albright Smol-Bite (Bully Doge), who is a builder and the head of the security staff. Her pet is sick, and she doesn't have quite enough money to spare for vet bills.

One of our FF Creators has a realllllllllly sick kitty which she needs funds for to get him better! She's got commissions open or just a small donation would really help! If you can't spare a dollar, spare a hollar and share her link!

On his Ko-Fi page, Albright had this to say.

 

Just a struggling possum artist living day to day down near Memphis. I'm mostly a cartoonist, sticking to a sketchy, rough style. I also do texture work for 3D mesh in Second Life. I offer customs and commissions for both. I rely on this as my only income, so if you enjoy my creations, please consider supporting me! 

 

Albright has a DeviantArt page, with a number of drawings. As stated before, she does take commissions, with more detailed work available for more of a fee.

Cartoon of The Day: Tablecloth Ghost

 

 Taken at the Furry Fashion Lounge. At their "Horror" party, someone showed up as a ghost, but wearing a tablecloth instead of a bedsheet, with sandwiches on their head. Thinking about it, well, with all the candy around, Halloween is when many diets die.

A Few Halloween Happenings

 

It's still early in October, but there are plenty of Halloween-related things to do in Second Life. For those who like shopping most of all, there's the "Shop and Hop" going on, with ten sims of stores to see and buy from.

Come celebrate Halloween with your favorite Second Life Creators. With sales galore and gifts for everyone! The event will run from October 1st to 31st, 2021.

The Destinations Guide had a list of the sims. On the Linden blog, the post about the shopping event had a list of participating sellers with a SLURL next to each one. Or you can just head here: Tinseled (154/128/52)

There's also some haunted areas to visit. One featured in Second Life Destinations was "Hauntings."

Moody, ghostly, creepy, and fun, Hauntings is another delightful venue in Old Town. Once a charming and peaceful spot in rural America, when the events began happening, folks moved away. No cars stopped at the motel; the farm lies abandoned. What happened here? What went on in that house? No-one knows. But once a year, the spirits of those who were innocent walk, looking for treats.

To get to this spooky place, head over to Adagio Breeze (199/59/3603). The place is a little scary, though not as nerve wracking as some places. Oh, and don't worry about the giant bat, too much.

For those in the mood for a hunt to get lots of prizes, one place to go is the Furry Fashion Halloween area. They have one every year. This year, one looks around a foggy fantasy-themed place, with a few signs of witches and pirates, for dragon eggs. There are thirty to be found, as well as a few decoys that give nothing. Flying is turned off, but all places can be reached by jumping, "think jump puzzles from Guild Wars2 (Blame Fortunas and Minty for that!)."

It is recommended that you set your environment to foggy or Midnight, and people are asked not to give hints to others. The entrance, which has some backstory, is at Furry (83/115/4007).

Oh, and Furry Fashion has a Halloween photo contest. All pictures have to be taken in the Halloween area, "Submissions must be put in notecard form into the contest application box by the ghost ship in the Halloween area - Photos must be full perm or linked to your twitter/flickr. Don't forget to add your legacy SL name so we know who you are!" You can send up to five pictures, and the contest lasts until November 3. First prize is 5000 Lindens, with 2500L for second, and 1000L for third.

Stay tuned for more reports of Halloween locations and events.

Weekend At A Glance

 

Plenty happened this weekend in Second Life. The Fantasy Faire was going on, including the dance event of the FF roleplay group Society of Extraordinary Explorers (SEE) in The Amethyst Rift (above) which raised a whopping one and a half million Lindens! This is believed to be the largest amount raised at a single event. Other events included the art exhibition opening party in the Confederation of Democratic Simulators featuring the work of Sanjeewa Kumara and Sujeewa Kumari of Sir Lanka and the late Artistic Fimicloud of the Sunweaver community, the fourteenth anniversary party of Furry Fashion, an episode of the Odd Ball featuring DJ Tantari Kim, and more.
  
More on some of these events later.

Furry Fashion is having an anniversary celebration, it's fourteenth, this Saturday May 1. The first event starts at 2PM SL time , and goes on all afternoon and into late at night with the last event going on to at least 10PM (but will likely go on a little longer).

"Techincally FF's birthday is the 5th," Amethyst Crystal, the owner of Furry Fashion explained, "but the 1st is on a weekend allowing more people to join the contests. Every contest will have the usual linden prize (tho a bit bigger) and there will be mystery raffles all the way through every event. The prizes will range from GiftCards to stores not just FF but to places like Half-Deer, Nomad, DRD and Lore and other prizes will include Mods I'll buy the winner directly from Marketplace. They won't know what they're winning until it's announced to keep it more fun! Fort and I are teaming up for the first event (2pm SLT) to kick everything off.

"If someone had told me I'd still be running FF 14 years later I'd have told them they're dreaming but here I am. I didn't expect to honestly with all the health issues in the past couple of years but here I still am, mostly in thanks to my awesome staff supporting me and keeping things going."
