Try taking the lollipop out of your mouth and for God’s sake get rid of that creature on your shoulder.

Welcome back. You’re nearly there. This is the penultimate part of The man who had an affair with his wife. Just a little bit further to go. Dig deep. I know you can do it. Carbon was not impressed with Swellen’s proposal that she adopt a new avatar, but so great was his desire for her […]

What would any normal suspicious, jealous husband in Second Life do?

Welcome to Wednesday’s next little portion of The man who had an affair with his wife. If you’re struggling to keep up with all the various avatar characters in play in this story, think of this tale as some sort of daily mental workout. If you manage to emerge in one piece from the other end of […]

A bona fide Second Life superpower

Hello! You’re back again! You want more? I’m impressed you’ve stuck with it this long; really, I am. Well, I couldn’t possibly disappoint you after all this time you’ve put in: we’re in it together now until the bitter end. I hope you brought your boots, though. The going is about to get considerably messier. […]

Leave Len. Live with me. We’ll rent a room in a motel someplace. Who needs a quarter region when you’ve a dirty mattress and a stained sink in shared urban accommodation?

It’s Monday and you’re missing the weekend already. Time for the next little bit of The man who had an affair with his wife. The next evening, the very first thing Chris did as Carbon was to send her a friend request.  He was eager to do so, to make contact with her again, to be […]

Could it be that who we all are is only ever a reflection of the people we’re with at any given moment?

A big question for a Sunday morning. Here is the next little bit of The man who had an affair with his wife. Meanwhile, the conversation between Carbon and Swellen showed no signs of slowing down: Carbon Holloway: So how would you describe third generation? Swellen Carlton: Third generation – obviously – is sculpties. Carbon Holloway: […]

The man who had an affair with his wife

Seeing as how I have your attention, I’ll mention now that the story you’re reading is actually one of four separate stories comprising ‘Once Upon a Time in SL.’ This one is called The man who had an affair with his wife. I completed it during last year’s NaNo. The second story – The man who dated […]

All good Second Life profiles have to reference the seeking of fun

The next little bit of ‘Once Upon a Time in Second Life.’ Happy weekend, everyone. Once the idea was formed, Len could think of little else.  The plan consumed him. Immediately, he created a new account and put his new avatar – the name he settled on in the end was ‘Carbon Holloway’ – through […]

In real life, a friendless person has no-one to call upon in difficult times, but in SL one can simply conjure up new people

I must admit, I’m starting to feel a little dirty asking each day for some sort of affirmation in exchange for the next bit of my latest story. I feel for Boudicca having to ask so sweetly each day for more: if it wasn’t for the fact that my blog stats right now look better […]

NaNoWriMo 2017 is go

And we’re off! And I’m happy to report that on this, the first day of National Novel Writing Month, I have achieved my required 1,667 words with an hour and a half to spare. I received something rather special yesterday, what can only be described as my first ever piece of fan art: Caitlin Tobias, […]

A flutter of butterflies

Thanks to Boudicca and Tommy Terrible (on Flickr) for requesting another little bit of the story from ‘Once Upon a Time in Second Life.’ (Part one here and part two here) – at least I think Tommy was requesting more when he said he was looking forward to the climax (it could well have been […]
