Iris Wants to Know: What Are You Thankful for in the Virtual World (and Beyond)

Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

It's Thanksgiving for NWN Readers (and writers) in the U.S., providing a long weekend perfect for reflecting on everything you're thankful for... In addition to eating generous and guilt-free portions of turkey and pie. 

With that in mind, I want to know: What are you most thankful for in Second Life? I'm Canadian, so Thanksgiving is technically already in my rear view mirror, but I can still take a moment to pause and consider what I'm grateful for. In Second Life, I'm most grateful for the talented and inventive artists that provide me with a neverending supply of things to share and gush about. Artists like pokute Burt, who's responsible for the charming pic embedded above. These people present the very best faces of Second Life, and the metaverse just wouldn't be the same without them.

So what about you? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and have a happy and safe holiday!

Thankful to all who dreamed up this amazing experience and has made it available. SL is my favorite entertainment & social medium.

I wanted to fall in love one more time, and I did: deeply, deeply, deeply.
