Anthea Sharp event on SL Calendar.
I’ve added the Anthea Sharp event to the SL calendar, too. If anyone wants to know how to do this for other MU events they might want to publicize more widely, just let me know.

Also, does anyone know the closest landing point to the event? I’ll add it to the event once I figure that out.

You will probably need to explain to visitors that they need to walk to the actual site as precision TPing is not allowed. You may be able to get signs put up pointing to it.
You might let people know that Anthea’s first book in the Feyland series is free for Kindles!

Awesome Neeva! Thank you Myra!
BTW, just added Neeva to Calendar! (you should get email w login info). And added Neeva to “Slack” (no, not “Slacker”, “Slack”! 😛 you should get email invitation.
We can clear Collaborateopolis after Wed’s Crit and let you set up for Sunday. Shout if you need anything.
Do you want to send out a group notice for someone to make a poster? Do we have a photo of the avatar on a plain background? Or of just a book cover? (so event info can be added for poster)

I mentioned it on your post about the calendar but Anthea’s first Feyland book is available on Kindle for free. I am trying to read through it so I can appreciate her talk!

This is wonderful! I am also hoping to bing in bestselling SF writer Michael Stackpole and possibly Robert Vardeman, who have SL avatars and meet in SL on a regular basis. This news should help convince them it’s worth their while.

Izzy
So awesome! Go Paypabak! (Writer!)

Paypabak Writer
Actually hoping to have some guidance from you on this. Let’s talk next time I’m inworld.

Great article Pay. :)There was a fabulous turnout, and Myra and all involved did great organizing. 🙂

Neeva doesn’t deserve to be lumped into ‘all involved’. I just had to clarify that. 😉 She deserves equal billing. 🙂 🙂
Myra 19:06 on 31/03/2015 Permalink |
Good article, Pay. Thank you for doing that.

Nice distillation of Anthea’s event Paypaback! You really captured the essence. I’m pretty sure Anthea Sharp will end up linking to it from her social media.
If she does, do you really want to amplify Michael’s newb quote about how creepy and pervy all avatars are as the lead in your post? There is a good chance this post ends up getting read by more non-SLers than SLers. Anyway, worth thinking about.
Thanks again for the link.

I don’t usually change a post so radically, Neeva, but I’ll make an exception because I may have more to say about that guy anyway. His website is execrable in terms of usability/readability. Or I may just let it go. I just posted about making mean comments, so best to keep quiet. Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
Paypabak Writer 14:18 on 01/04/2015 Permalink |
Now that I’ve fixed it … all done in less than two minutes … I like it much better anyway.
BTW, I am thinking about a sailing party for the 18th of April and will work out some kind of invite for MU writers.
Neeva 16:33 on 01/04/2015 Permalink |
Sailing sounds great to me!
Paypabak Writer 17:42 on 01/04/2015 Permalink |
I may lay off michaelgreenwhatever. I was able to recognize that he put up a link to my Mean Comments post. I was surprised and delighted. See:

I also would enjoy sipping expensive champagne on anyone’s yacht. 😉
