Alts and “De-alting”

I like creating characters.

I used to create a lot of “alts” (virtual world speak for alternate avatars) in Second Life just because I could. But as I started writing about my virtual life, I wanted to create avatar versions of some of the characters I was writing about. Just for fun. That’s when my total number of alts got out of hand. So I’ve had to kill some off from time to time. Well, I didn’t really “have” to…it’s just my preference. I never used these alts so I decided to get rid of them so I could clear the way for the creation of other alts who are being used…in story.

Every once in awhile I bump off a few more.

Aquaetas

I opened a new world on Kitely over the weekend…meanwhile, my “old” world on Kitely has a new name.

Aquaetas has been on Kitely since November 2012. It was formerly known as Evergreen.

pronounced: ah – QWAY – tus

from Latin,

aqua: water

aetas: age, stage, period of life, time, era

Recent and upcoming Devokan storylines have led to the name change. The world itself has not changed, just the name.

It is open to all.

The Dreaming Tree

No longer am I alone in telling stories from Dankoville.

An unexpected and wonderful thing has happened on my grid. A friend, virtual world enthusiast and fellow writer whom I regularly talk writing with and have RP’d with, has created an avatar in my little world and started a whole new story. And therefore, become part of my story as well.

My friend is Jamie Wright, who among other things is the leader and host for a long-running and vibrant Harry Potter-inspired roleplay group on the Metropolis grid in the Augurey Peak regions.

Now Jamie has set up shop in Dankoville. Literally. She has brought her writing (and building) talent to town in the form of Audrey Moore, the new owner of The Dreaming Tree book store.

Audrey’s story starts here…
