The Virtual Worlds Story Project Presents
The Second Life Story Quest
The Virtual Worlds Story Project's first annual Story Quest was held on World Storytelling Day, March 20, 2009. With a goal of helping writers and storytellers imagine, craft, and share Second Life stories, the Quest led participants along one of five Story Trails. Along each trail were a series of Enchanted Books. Touching the books not only provided information to include in the story, but clues that led to other points on the trail as well.
The Quest allowed participants to choose from one of five genres:
1. Murder Mystery
2. Romance
3. Fantasy
4. Sci Fi
5. Creative Non-fiction with an emphasis on health and healing
The Quest was held across multiple sims in Second Life with a final stop at Karuna (the new HIV/AIDS sim) where participants could sit in scenic surroundings to write, submit their stories, and/or get help from writing coaches.
The day concluded with story readings, live music, and dancing.
