Open Forum: Engage In Shameless SL Self-Promotion Here! (Updated: Thread Closed, See Some Favorites Below)

Please post anything in this open Comment thread, as long as it: a) Is directly related to Second Life and/or OpenSimulator, and b) Promotes a project, event, business, activity, group, community, sim, blog, product or service you're directly involved with. Bonus: Explain why it would interest anyone else reading the topic.

Update, 5/18: Lots of great projects in Comments, among them:

• Viorel Daviau is developing Obscure Reality, a new SL roleplaying area intriguingly set in a mysterious town completely depicted in grayscale.
• Cady Enoch invites readers to the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life, where she is Leadership Chair. [Direct SLurl teleport at this link] Services have been performed for the past year. Here's the official site.
• Longtime SL educator Fleep Tuque talks about Chilbo, an SL community "of artists, architects, educators, musicians, parents, hobbyists, students, and people from around the world who share a common vision that our interactions and experiences in virtual worlds can have a positive impact on our real world and our real lives."

The Armada Breakaway sim is just over two months old and seems to be doing well -- charity events like Victorian burlesque and dark mermaid synchronized swimming have been well-attended, a staged battle between sea creatures and ironclad warships was just a smash, and there was just a big building competition full of steampunky goodness. My shop, Atomic Owl, is doing well in Armada's Merchant Square and I've started hosting a weekly trivia in Armada's little park every Monday at 5pm SLT. Basically, I think Armada is a very cool place and more people should come check it out -- it's a floating steampunk pirate city built on the bones of boats, with airships, dark mermaids and plenty of adventure. All are welcome, RP encouraged but optional. I'm not one of the sim owners/creators, just someone who moves in and out of the place and thought it deserved a plug.

Wow, thanks for the plug space, Wagner! I'd love to invite your readers to visit the Anglican Cathedral in Second Life! We have been around for two years now, and have been holding regular worship services for the past year. We also have regular discussion and bible study gatherings, as well as informal times of fellowship around the cathedral. And everyone is most welcome to attend, whatever your belief system (or lack thereof) as long as you are respectful of our space. We are a very welcoming community, and enjoy meeting new friends and getting into discussions, both profound and otherwise.

For more information about us, please visit http://slangcath.wordpress.com/, or just drop by at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epiphany/90/147/50.

Peace and blessings to all,

Obscure Reality - a completely grayscale environment (RP environment, but visitors can swing by and look around).

[Elsbeth Writer]

My gallery Picture Your World at Dogwood Commons (Urkenranch 200, 100) has landscapes from around the grid. Also a theme exhibit in the loft. This month it's "How Does Your Garden Grow?" with lovely shots of inworld gardens. I also have stores at Oceanside Plaza in Agapema and in the sky mall on Earth Elements Island. Come visit!

[Ann Otoole]

Need a better profile picture? Want to take a profile pic with a friend? How about a bob of friends? Come to Kali Isle and try the public photo garden out. Loads of photo studios and hundreds of backdrops. Modeling poses galore. Yes male poses too. Lots of mob poses (up to 21 avatars per mob) so get your posse together for a pic. While visiting Kali Isle you can shop at numerous shops including Blue Blood, AVANTMELON, Unique Nees! and VampArt.

I've had many a venture in SL over the years, all have failed miserably.

Yesterday I opened my next, just to see how it goes really, being a little more confident this time.

..in the FRAME, for picture, photo frames and lighting.

I do not profess to be a master builder, but I'd like beginner's to visit really, to see just what can be done, with the minimal of talent or building skills.

Thank you.
