Promoting and Exploring Different Genres/Cultures

Have you ever wondered about the different cultures of Second Life? I have, and think the world needs to learn more about the popular, reclusive, xenophobic, secret, odd, geeky and normal social structures of Second Life.

I am looking to "promote" the diversity in Second Life by exploring different cultures and genres. I am hoping to become part of specific cultures and live among them for a week, then report to the world about my experiences. I will submit to whatever guidelines are set forth by the culture in question as to mix in with the locals and get a feel for what it is like to be one of them. I will offer a designated official of the culture being reported on a copy of my story before I submit the final version to Second Life Herald (if they won't print my story I will find other avenues). I want to make sure I represent the culture in an accurate way. Again, I want to promote, not submit harsh criticism.

The benefits to your society
A way to promote your society and help those that are new to the game find people with similar interests. I am an open minded, explorative personality that will submit to the culture's values and way of life. I want to experience the lifestyle and let others know what to expect if they were to become part of your society.

I am looking forward to hearing from everyone and their social groups. I can't wait to explore your world and let the public know what you are about in a fair and unbiased report.

Please IM me in game to set up meeting. What I need from you is a short description of your culture or social group, such as The Goreans - a serious roleplaying society with medieval technology (I observed them last night and they were my inspiration to learn more about the cultures of SL).

Sounds like fun. Good luck

I want to thank the Gor, BDSM and Furr communites for their interest in my explorations into their worlds. I expect to start living amongst those communites in the coming weeks. If you are interested in your social group to receive a fair and unbiased article published in the SL media circuits please contact me to set up a meeting. I am new to the SL world and I am not aware of all the "interesting cultures."

Here is what I hope to accomplish in my articles.
1. Define the social group and what they are about.
2. Give my first impressions of the culture.
3. Tell of my one to two week sojourns along with all the trials and tribulations.
4. Give my opinion on who I think would enjoy the societies in the form of a newbie guide to the SL world and its cultures.

I will also provide appropiate screenshots and possible interviews to willing residents. I offer proof reading rights to those I write about (I want to make sure I am portraying an accurate picture of their culture). These life experiences are meant to inform the general public about the different cultures in SL.

I excitedly await IM's to further inquiries,
