The writers group ‘Sliterary’ met again in Second Life at 0900AM Sunday morning Australian time (4pm Saturday SLT) with lively discussion of what such a writers group might want to do. One suggestion was to write stories based on ideas generated by the group – and the ideas came thick and fast. Good thing I had the chat history turned on! <\/p>\n

Characters included: a scientist who turns his\/her back on science to take up a career in the arts; characters from history including Ramelli, Bill Gates and others, and settings\/concepts like nano technology, time travel, dystopian urban settings and so on. <\/p>\n

\"SLiterary\"<\/p>\n

The idea is to write a short piece – up to 500 words and circulate it to the other members. Ina the convener offered a prize for the best offering, of 500 lindens (about US$1.50).<\/p>\n

This is a great group – very welcoming of newcomers and full of creative people. I look forward to seeing what they come up with (and might even put in a story myself)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
