Community
Amy and I couldn’t find a community of like minded people where we live, so we decided to experiment with Second Life to see what we could find there. Megan seemed to have had very satisfactory experiences in her time there, so I thought that it might work for us as well.
What I had in mind was a few D/s minded people - maybe a bit kinky, maybe not, who knows. Hopefully some people interested in photography, ideally passionate about it. Building a community takes time, and my initial building in Second Life was an art gallery, where I could display photography and other works of art.
A peaceful, sedate appreciation what that world has to offer.
An idea whose time has probably come, but not for me. As our community began to grow, I could quickly see that a quiet art gallery wasn’t going to be a compelling place to entertain the people we were getting to know.
So I smashed it.
Late one night while Amy slept I went in and tore everything down. Everything. Every single object of the 900+ I’d placed.
Such a pretty place, but not one conducive to the kind of community I wanted to be a member of.
So what have we now?
Check out the picture - That’s Amy and me pole dancing in the distance, with a shapeshifter werewolf, a vampire, and a mermaid around a fire pit while Gloria Gaynor belts out”I Will Survive” on the video screen.
Our kind of people.
