Second Life and I go way back. I first logged in in 2005, promptly got lost, found stories, disappeared for a while, came back, disappeared again, and then eventually accepted that this world is one of those places that never quite lets go of you. Even after a very long hiatus, somehow, it called me back.

These days, I’m here for the stories. The big ones we build together, the small ones that happen in passing conversations, and the quiet, half-forgotten stories hiding in corners of the grid you only stumble into by accident. I have a soft spot for photography, urban grit, a touch of steampunk charm, and dialogue that makes you think, laugh, or ideally both at once.

I also write. Sometimes that writing takes the form of a very specific persona: Doreen as the supermodel, detached, a little ignorant, floating through situations with perfect hair and questionable awareness. It’s a mask, a character, and a storytelling device all at once. Playing with that contrast, between surface and substance, is part of the fun for me.

Out of character, I’m social by nature, approachable by design, and genuinely enjoy a good conversation. I like layered stories, meaningful exchanges, and moments that feel real even when everything else very clearly isn’t.

This site is my space to collect those things: writing, projects, thoughts, and whatever else grows out of my time in Second Life. If you’re into storytelling, atmosphere, and the kind of RP that lingers a little after you log out, we’ll probably get along just fine.
