I really hate the fact that to 90% of the world "gothic" is synonymous with fetish crazed vamp whores - but really, with that all said, the music played is wonderfully suited for the mind set of Winterfell

OMG, this little film is stuffed FULL of fantastic one liners!

"well, if it isn't the Marques De Manstrumpette"
"Please, Sir Dingleberry, let us not be childish"

love love LOVE it!

And I have been informed that this is *so* last year... LOL, I must live under a rock to have never seen it before... oh well! *giggles and runs off to watch it again*



*waves to Captain Wildstar* No, Sir, I am not on any kind of steampunk kick... not me. *grins innocently*

There are two major conventions being planned, SLCC in San Francisco in August, and SteamCon in Seattle in October, that might be suitable for a meetup of the Realm of the Roses (in case you didn't know, that's what our land mass is called... it includes Winterfell, Independent State of Caledon, Lovelace and Zeppelinheim) and other friendly communities (New Babbage, Steelhead, Consulate of Europa Wulfenbach, Steeltopia, Orcadia, New Toulouse, Raglanshire, &c. and so on) from Second Life.

Please take a moment to complete a short survey here in order to gauge interest in either event, or to volunteer to help plan specialty programming.

Look at this beauty!

Nation, by Terry Prachett
Come join us at the Winterfell Library, at 12 Noon, Sunday the 14th December, 2008 to discuss this interesting new book!

From the author widely known for his Discworld series, Nation is something new and stands alone in it's own universe. A non-Discworld novel that Terry said he felt he had to write over the last few years. Such a departure from the expected continuation of the Discworld related "Tiffany Aching" series has already caused some serious deliberation and discussion about the book without even looking at its content.

Opinions seem very polarized, and I feel that those familiar with Pratchett's works will have a lot to say about how it differs from the usual. However the book, while written in a Pratchett style is something apart, and has a timeless depth to it. Those who have never read a Pratchett book before will really enjoy this one, and need no introduction to any of his other work beforehand, and be able to add some great insights into his writing from a fresh perspective.

The book starts out in the Pelagic Ocean Islands and follows the course of a young Islander boy, a young English lady of noble birth and their attempt to cope with the devastating effects of the tidal wave that brings them together. As the survivors come together on the island, a great many questions arise, and not just about where the next meal is coming from. Many of the people wonder why the gods allowed this to happen, and there is a real depth to the questions that Pratchett's characters ask in this book as they seek to rebuild a Nation.

I LOVE THEM!!!

Uni took many long hours of figuring these trees out, they are two prims each and have amazing textures that change when you (the owner) touch them. There are 5 sizes, seven seasonal leaf/branch textures and five seasonal bark textures... Did I mention they are COPY?

1000L for the pack, you will get a 250L refund if you are a Winterfell resident, make sure you wear your tag! You can find them here!

Comes with a bonus unscripted "Ray of sunlight" to further accentuate your trees.

The pack is set to No MOD due to the use of mega prims for sizes. this
is so you as the owner does not inadvertently resize and break a tree. If you have a specific size you would like, please IM Uni Ninetails and she will make you a specific size for a small fee. Tho I can't imagine needing a custom, the sizes included in the pack are really versatile.

ENJOY!!

Well gosh then its time to give thanks to all of you who have held my hand when I was sad, giggled at me when I was being a goof, stood up for me when I was the victim, cheered for me when I was successful and rooted me on when I was ready to quit.

It’s been a wacky year, which I will recap in my New Years post…. But for today, I want to thank you all for sharing your second life with me!!

Much Love,
Miss Serra

Bloodlines Sanguinus has finally been delivered and is in the final stages of set up.

I have to cut a few more plots, set up the tier meter and set up the shop meters.

I believe I will have this done tonight, if I don't get hammered with IM's or emergancies. *crosses fingers*

Much love!
Miss Serra

I was glancing at the BareRose site found myself wondering "how in the hell does anyone keep up with this level of output?"

I counted at least 10 new outfits I want... boy is it a good thing that she doesn't have a way to shop her things while I am at work. Bad things would happen.

Besides Pink Mist as referred to on the previous post, I will be getting these:

Ethnica
Duet
White Mist
Minoan
TRADurian
Colored Karra
Nocturne
Pirates Queen
Dressage
Elisa

Gotta love me some BareRose

Does ANYONE know who makes this jacket???

Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 1pm SLT, The Victorian Ladies' Society will be hosting their "Farewell to Fall Victorian Carnival" at the Winterfell Taure En Lor dock.

Come play the duck hunt game, or venture into the burlesque tent. The tarot card reader can tell you your fortune, or dance the night away with someone you love.

Come one come all, if we have at least five people, I'm sure we would be willing to start a game of musical chairs!

IM Maiya Writer for more details or visit the Victorian Ladies' Society in world.

The OpenSpace sims of Winterfell Requiem, Winterfell Mithras and Winterfell Haven have been taken away to convert Winterfell Morigion into a full sim. Jace and his team are working feverishly to get the island back up and functioning, and I suspect that with the speed of Jaces whip... construction will be complete by the mid weekend.

I have been promised a grand reopening party to celebrate - keep your eye out for the invite.

The schedule for conversions are as follows:

Move Winterfell Libris to its new home east of Reverie

Convert Winterfell Sonnet, Winterfell Dark Sea and Winterfell Eventide into Winterfell Maldoror (full sim) and place it in its new home north of Morigion

Move Winterfell Harbor to its new home east of Sanctuary

Convert Winterfell Breakwater, Winterfell Eidolon and Winterfell Serenity into Winterfell Amaranthine (full sim) and place it in its new home north of Winterfell Laudanum

And finally move the remaining OS sims into place and figure out how to convert Winterfell Undertow into a full sim. I am short one OS. Do I let it just poof or do I pay for the extra OS to convert? And if I do convert, is there any demand for more Dark Victorian land?

*EDIT* I have taken the plunge and bought an OS sim off a friend who had an extra from his conversions. So that OS sim along with Winterfell Fathom and Winterfell Elysium will be used to convert Winterfell Undertow into Winterfell Anodyne.

Much Love,
Miss Serra
