I have signed up to be SL blogger and this is a joy to do, so any change needed will have to wait. This is the highlight of the year for me.

Fantasy Faire is my favourite event in Second Life. All of it is magical. The regions are incredible and often inspirational. It is amazing to see the effort everyone puts into it. And it starts on Thursday.

Fantasy Faire 2026 runs from April 23 to May 10 and celebrates its eighteenth year as the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers, and performers in Second Life. Under the banner “Many Realms – One Vision. Fantasy Faire 2026: Building a World Without Cancer”, this year’s Faire brings together thousands of residents and creators for a shared purpose: supporting the American Cancer Society in its vision of a world without cancer. Over the course of the event, visitors can explore shopping regions, dance and theatre performances, DJ parties, auctions, quests, the Literary Festival, themed events, and immersive roleplay across the Fairelands, each realm contributing its own unique vision to the whole.

But then what? I can make some cute snapshots and post them (or keep them to myself). And then take it down again.

It’s fun, but it also kind of sad. It was more fun when I could invite others to come and see it and play with it and have fun.

It was a rented Homestead. We called it Binemist and we enjoyed it very much. It changed form a few times over the years, and that was part of the charm.

3 years in we gave up the homestead, and I bought Bine a used full region. Bine and I had so much fun decorating with no limits, or what 30.000 land permitted prims feels like. The SIM changed a few times, and ended with a wonderful interpretation of a RL place on Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea – Bungenäs.

End of an era

10 years in I felt fatigue. I hardly spend any time in SL, Bine also felt lonely. Having a SIM meant spending time there, felt more important than going to places and meeting people. So in march 2024 I decided to sell the SIM. Someone bought it, and kept the design. Even to this day – 2 years in the Bungenäs Design is still there. She closed it off to the public, and I cannot visit. But I can see it on the World Map. That continues to please me.

The quiet periode

As mentioned 2 years have passed. The first 1 and a half nothing. Bine logged in from time to time to look at shopping events, but she got bored with that – what is there to buy when there is nothing to decorate.

It was my plan to maybe go and be more social, but it never really happened. I started to miss having a place to decorate. With a Premium Plus I got Bine a bigger Linden Home with 937 prims to play with and a parcel size of 2048 m². We found a very nice Mediterranean style place on Puteketeke.

I thought it was perfect for us. It’s behind some hills, I can’t see the neighbours and their bad choices in decorating. Unless we go up into the sky. Then the platforms are everywhere. I have to keep the draw distance very low.

And I miss water and a cost line. So WE NEED A CHANGE

The Hunt is often one of the last things I do at the Faire. It gives me a change to revisit the different worlds in the first part, and the second part I am always amazed at the absolute genius ending. The scripting is just so fantastic.

What might be mistaken for an ordinary lake surrounded by a typical forest is actually an enchanted land devoted to music, melodies and noises. Inhabited by mischievous fairies, these wee folk enjoy playing tricks and are often bewitching the flora and the fauna so that hardly anything sounds the way it should. Stores are a mixture of ivy covered cottages and overgrown loudspeakers that the fae collect to play back their disharmonic adventures.

Wake not the Architects of Silence. The planet is a vast, restless colossus, its surface a mosaic of weathered stone and shifting landscapes. The air hums with a deep, guttural resonance—an echo of the slumbering titan beneath. Cracks in the terrain pulse with molten light, like veins beneath ancient skin, while cyclopean mountains contort and groan, reshaping with each unconscious stir. Rivers churn in sudden, violent upheavals, and the sky, heavy with ash and storms, swirls in unnatural patterns, as if the very heavens sense the beast’s inevitable awakening.
