The twists and turns of Second Life

Sometimes you feel you're blogging in a vacuum. Then, out of the blue, there's an IM that alters your SL completely. This week I had one such encounter, as I was offered a position with a new SL business venture. Unlike the early days of SL, when the offer of 'unlimited amount of money' was on offer for those getting into what was going to be the internet's next big thing, no-one should be under any illusions that this is a money making venture. Instead, it's about enthusiasts getting on board to improve/enhance/expand the in-world experience.

I've said 'yes' to the offer, but this means that the plans for a 'tribe' related sim, group and blog are now firmly on the back burner. I will be throwing my energies into this new venture for the next few weeks/months until.....(drum roll please).....

.....we publish Second Life's first dedicated naturist magazine. A new publishing house is being established in SL, and the aim will be to produce several inworld and online magazines relating to SL. Apparently, this blog has come to the attention of the publisher, and I've been brought on board (with others) to put together a magazine that you can buy and read in-world. It's not the first of its kind, but it's a new project that has great potential, which is why I have signed up.

No, this blog will not be discontinued. We will continue to bring you the best of the sexier end of SL. Why begin with a naturist magazine? Well, the theory is that an enormous number of SL's residents do practice naturism occasionally or regularly, and there should be enough interest to find a market. I hope so, too. As for the money making element of it, the plan, as far as I read it, is to make Issue 1 free, and issues thereafter priced at...L$1!!!!!!!!!

Also in the pipeline from the same publisher is a second magazine, which I am not at liberty to discuss with you...yet!!!!

I'll continue to keep you all posted in the coming weeks.
