Special offer: The HHAX Atom 2

A new product for a new year: may I present the HHAX Atom 2. It’s a 32 prim, three storey, retro-futuristic building (I’ve also included a 18 LI ‘Convex Hull’ conversion, which seems to be behaving itself). For the month of January it will be on sale at the special offer price of just L$10. […]

Twelve of my favourite SL photos (by other people) of 2017

I did this last year and I think I got away with it. The problem with any sort of post that selects personal highlights from other people’s work is that you risk pissing off the folk whose excellent work didn’t make it onto the list. But we should be at least attempting to celebrate amazing work, […]

Five of my favourite pictures (by me) of 2017

We’re not done with the self-adulation just yet, although you’ll probably be pleased to know I am starting to feel a little gorged on all these look-at-what-I-did posts. Just like the excessive amount of cake, cheese and chocolate I’ve consumed over the last few days, I can feel it sitting heavily on my soul. But before […]

My top ten SL photos (by me) of 2017

As we drift towards the sudden realisation that the year is about to end, it’s time for me to switch focus from a look back over a decade of blogging to a look back over the past twelve months. See, I like to shake things up a little. 2017 has been a year in which […]

Season’s greetings 2017

A frost-covered igloo between parked cars. A blinkered personal space. And Christmas tidings falter as silenced shoppers pass. On their way to their homes. Advertisements

Launch party snapshots

Last night, at a launch party held at the Nancy Redgrave Building (the first major event held there), I pushed the publish button (okay, so I clicked it) on AFK, Awaiting and read the first few pages to the assembled audience. It was a great evening, and I’m indebted to Caitlin Tobias for organising everything […]

AFK, Awaiting (2017) by Huckleberry Hax

I don’t know how long exactly I was out for. I think it was probably only two or three minutes. He didn’t waste any time. When I came round I found myself bound to a chair by cable ties at my wrists and ankles. It was a foldable metal deck chair: since I didn’t own […]

The final chapter

Tomorrow, I will release the fifth and final novel in the AFK series, ‘AFK, Awaiting.’To celebrate this – and the ten years which have passed since the first of the AFK novels was published online – there will be a special launch party. The event will take place at 3:30pm SLT, Friday 22 December at […]

10 years of AFK

As well as marking ten years of blogging, December 2017 also marks the tenth anniversary of the online publication of my very first novel as Huckleberry Hax: AFK. AFK, is set in SL and follows the exploits of a Second Life detective. It was written for the November 2007 NaNoWriMo and published online very soon […]

Winter in Second Life

It’s been a while since I last filmed one of my moving postcards, so here’s a short moving greetings card to celebrate the holiday season: a few views of SL’s finest wintrified sims plus a tiny love story thrown in. You could cast it to your TV for cinematic enjoyment if you like, but my top […]
