All fantasy and non-fantasy creatures of any sexual orientation are welcome to a joyous fun gathering of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transexual Fae in a sim specially made for the event. Many straight friends and supporters are coming to have fun and we look forward to joining them in celebration. Come and discover your inner fae! A fantastic sim is being conjured - bursting with wonderful creations from a group of superbly talented fae and fantasy designers.Magickal, Fantasy, Fae and Gay! Yes. We are magick. On Secondlife we are set free from boundaries of age, race, gender, sexuality, species, location, travel, language, discrimination and many limiting health conditions and if that wasn't enough we can all fly! The fae revelling in the beauty of Nature with fun and frolics. We have no organised religion except mystical lore and ritual, but a strong ethos of friendliness, warmth, cleverness, artistry and naughtiness.

We are many sexualities, full expressed.
"Fantasy Pride - powered by faerie thrust!"

The theme this year is "Music of the Spheres" so, the sim itself is waiting to be explored and encompasses all four seasons and many fascinating areas, beautiful cavern shops and special events and parties. Many fantastic items for sale have been newly created for Fantasy Pride, and you can be the first to see and buy them!

We heard a strong rumour many incredible Dragons will be visitng Fantasy Pride this year! We are endeavouring to create a landscape they will enjoy.

There will also be all 9 planets to explore plus the Sun and the Moon!

Music of the Spheres - the theme:
Kepler said: The Pythagoreansused music to heal the body and elevate the soul. Earthly music was no more than a faint echo of the universal harmony of the spheres. Each planet was said to correspond to a different note of a grand musical scale, particular tones emitted depending on the different ratios of their orbits. Just as the tone of a lyure strong depends on its length. Pluto, Piny, Cicero and Ptolemy are amongst the Philosophers of the ancient world who contemplated the Music of the Spheres."
We now know different planets vibrate to their own frequencies creating their own unique sounds.

Creators have gone all out to make their own interpretations of the ethos, mythology or just the feel of each planet:-

Greville Oh as well as doing Publicity, the Press Book and the Celebration Book after Fantasy Pride, is also creating the Sun (think Holywood) and Jupiter (expect way over the top!). He is also hoping to help with terraforming the sim floor.

Joshbear Sojourner as well as organising all the shops for Fantasy Pride is also building Mercury (about Art as well as communication) and the Moon, (the Moon I know is going to be very extraordinary concerning dreams and emotions, a place to reflect).

Karalia Halostar is building Uranus and Pluto (an icy cold but exquisite wasteland). You must see his pocket watch! Believe me you won't be able to miss it! Karalia is also composing music for each planet, Sun and Moon and has some fascinating sounds to show you.

Shay Sunnyside, as well as organising all the special events, parties, performers and DJs. is also creating Venus! (Expect something romantic and full of feminine beauty).

Jean Shadowcry as well as helping with the sim floor is also creating Mars. (An amazing arena with scripted swords for fighting.)

Lorant Criss is creating Earth (echoes of a myriad of our planet's landscapes in all their variety), also Saturn (I heard a whisper of steampunk and clockwork here).

Corkie Houston is in charge of the sim itself, the whole look as well as creating Neptune (I have seen a preview of Neptune and it is just gorgeous - very Mer).

Blackdog Ashbourne is our Technical Consultant and we rely on his enormous brain a great deal. He also advises Chiaroscuro Guardians who are the security for Fantasy Pride.

Loads more information and photos about Fantasy Pride, all the Creators and their work in The Press Book, coming out soon!

So welcome to our second Fantasy Pride! A riot of colour, a feast for the senses, a celebration of all things Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transexual, of freedom and tolerance. Come one, come all and wallow in all the great performances and events, get lost among the intriguing planets and dance the night away among the stars!
