Returning Home

The Fairelands of 2024 have now drifted back into the Mists, the portal connection cut, us Fairelanders left on this side, feeling somewhat confused, befuddled even. Time is suddenly moving at regular pace, forward, onwards, instead of wrapping us in a separate reality time loop where every day lasts both a year and a second at the same time. Faire-time of the year is over and the boring rules of nature set back in place.

We return home with new shinies, loot consisting of fish and minnows, frogs and wootables, Theo and Tammy. We light candles, locate our favourite new mementos to place around the house, and decide to postpone inventory sorting to tomorrow, or next week, but absolutely definitely before next spring. Surely.

We take a short nap, waking up the following day not sure what year it even is, grab some coffee, and then check out the numbers from the absolutely real and existing Faire News Gazette delivered by the Faire Bus Service near you.

Fantasy Faire 2024 relayed 30,621,089 linden dollars (122,484.35 USD). This brings our 16-year total to 218,512,700 linden dollars (874,050 USD). The critters indulging in morning cinnabun crumbs think those are a lot of big numbers, and cheer. They cheer, and so should you. For yourself, and for your fellow Fairelanders, for the fight against the Unweaver.

Thank you.

Now go forth and Faire on!

Still Here! Faire Open Through Tuesday, May 7th

Did you think we were done? That we’d have Live Auction and turn off the lights? (…willow-o-wisps, fireflies, flames, bonfires, stars.) Nope! Thanks to the Linden generosity in their Jail & Bail, Fantasy Faire is officially open through Tuesday, May 7th.

If you haven’t yet finished the Fairelands Quest, time to get to it. If you haven’t even started yet, we do have Express Quest HUDs available if the loot at the end of rainbow tempts you, regardless of time restraints and puzzle nerve pressure.

The various region quests are of course still going on as well, and nothing stops shopping! Behold the Shopping Guide! This year’s Her High Faireness’ Treasures Wootable is out, and there’s even once-in-Second-Life option to buy yourself Fairelander surname (but the name has to be redeemed by Wednesday, May 8th, 2024).

‘n hey, it’s Monday. You know what that means: absolutely nothing happens.

Live Auction Starting NOON SLT on The Golden Hour!

It is almost time! Time to see which parts of this year’s Fairelands are up for bidding to benefit Relay For Life and American Cancer Society.

Come join us for the chance to walk home with a piece of the Fairelands, or to just hang out and enjoy the show that is the Bidding Wars!

Feel free to follow the Livestream if you cannot make it to The Golden Hour!

Check out previews below!

Her High Faireness’ Treasures Wootable 2024

Live Auction is approaching (Sunday, May 5th, Noon SLT) and various pieces of this year’s Fairelands are going to be auctioned off to new happy homes, but what about smaller mementos? Pieces of the Fairelands that don’t require you to own a region to rez it in, or a dragon hoard of linden dollars to win?

Worry not, we have those too! This year’s official Faire Wootable – Her High Faireness’ Treasures Wootable 2024 is now out!

The wootable is available at the Ball Room on The Golden Hour and at the deck of the FaireChylde in Silevea.

Meet our Special Guest at the LitFest today – Susan Hanniford Crowley

Our special guest this year is Susan Hanniford Crowley, whose more recent fantasy novels have been a new genre for our authors at the Faire – and an exciting one to learn about!

That is because Susan is a science fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance and now young adult author, specializing in vampires and rare supernaturals.

She will be interviewed by Saffia Widdershins in the Temple Theatre in Samsara on Thursday May 2nd at 3pm, with additional questions from the audience.

This event will be followed at 4pm by a special Vampire Ball at 4pm at the Cascades Plaza in Samsara, in honour of our special guest. Put on your best sinister costume for a very special hour of dancing. Vampires welcome – but other kinds of ghosts, ghoulies and … well, even perfectly normal Fairelanders (yes, I’m looking at you, fish folk!) will be very welcome here!

You can learn more about Susan on her page on the Fantasy Faire website.
