Not long left now

As of the time of writing there's under three and a half days left in the hunt. Still time to get started and plenty of time to finish if you've already started.

At the moment there's only one known issue: #34 -- WITCHY CUPCAKEZ -- has disappeared, apparently due to a sudden sim closure. By the time you read this we'll be looking into the issue and seeing what needs to be done. Meanwhile the location is marked as a skip in the location list.

Also, don't forget that on Saturday evening we're having a "almost the end of the hunt" dance at Z&A. We'd love it if you could all join us to celebrate a very successful and very enjoyable couple of weeks -- ideally wearing or using something you've picked up on the hunt (we hope to have a build ready that will show off a selection of gifts from the hunt, as space and prims permit).

Finally, a couple of people have asked about the best way to get a note of thanks to all the locations in the hunt. We'll be sending a final mailer out to all of the contacts for all of the locations once the hunt has ended. If you'd like a few words of thanks included in that notecard please drop Antony a line and he'd be delighted to include them.

Half way

We're now about half way through The Femdom Hunt IV so we thought it was a good time to remind people of a few things:

1. The hunt is still going. There's still a whole week left of hunting so if you've not started there's still plenty of time to get going. If you have started there's still plenty of time to finish. If you know people who haven't started and you think they'd really enjoy the gifts available now's the time to give them the gentle nudge they need.
2. As of the time of writing there are no known issues out on the hunt. Any items of note are documented in this blog post and in the footnotes of the location list.
3. The hunt group is as busy and vibrant as ever, with an increasing number of hunters who have finished willing and happy to lend a hand with extra hints for those who haven't.
4. Thank you to everyone who has let us know that they've blogged the hunt or have told us about blog entries they've read. Please keep them coming so we can add them to the blogged page.

All indications are that this Femdom Hunt is the biggest one yet. By last Wednesday Z&A's number of gifts given had beaten the total we gave out for the whole of The Femdom Hunt III. We're astonished and delighted at just how big a response there has been, and it's thanks to everyone involved: the shops, the Femdoms and the hunters. Really, thank you all of you, you're helping make a great event.

Now that many of you are starting to unpack we'd like to provide a little reminder: do please feel free to drop the creators a note if you particularly like a gift. Positive feedback can mean a lot and it also helps people know what works and can inform what gets made for the next hunt.

Also, don't forget, if you find a problem with a gift please let Antony or Zardia know. Mistakes happen and they're normally easily fixed. Some gifts have been updated so don't forget to look at the list of updates to see if you need to pop back to pick up a fresh copy.

And that's it for now. Happy hunting everyone and, as always, if there's any issues or questions just drop us a line.

Save the Date: The Femdom Hunt IV Closing Dance

As with the weekend of the start of The Femdom Hunt IV, things coincide with the usual fortnightly Raven Park dance. So, again, we're moving the dance into the Z&A Productions shop and we're making it a Femdom Hunt dance -- this time to celebrate the (almost) end of the hunt.

This time around the theme will be:

I finished the Femdom Hunt!

The idea being that people come along wearing outfits, or restraints, etc, from or inspired by this (or previous) Femdom Hunts. Everyone is welcome. Dress up, dress silly, dress totally fetish, whatever takes your fancy, and come and swap your Femdom Hunt and unboxing stories. As always, there'll be a fun mix of tunes from Eve Terr.

Here's the details:

Date: Saturday November 2nd

Time: 4:00pm to 6:00pm SLT

Where: Z&A Productions
Music by: Eve Terr

Creative used of the hunt path (part 2)

Given that the first post of hunt path (ab)use has grown rather big, it seems now's a good time to start a second. While we wait for reports of such (ab)use to come in, here's a photo of Antony on the Raven Park clock tower, waiting for Emilie Muggins to land on his sim again:

Turns out though, Emilie is far too smart to fall for that:

Also from Plausible Body.... well, we'll let the images speak for themselves:

Meanwhile, at the home of Eve Terr:

Seems that Emilie went fishing recently:

Creative uses of the hunt path (2013)

Anyone who took part in last year's hunt might recall that a couple of locations decided to make creative use of the hunt path. It appears that this year is no different. Emilie at Plausible Body has been rather busy:

And it's not just Emilie. It seems that The Velvet Crossing have "tweaked" their path to better suit their sim:

And then over at PRIME:

Worse yet, almost on the doorstep of the TFH office! At the Evelock store!

We're still unclear if Sunshine Technology are getting a delivery or it's an abduction:

Meanwhile, back at Plausible Body, they're claiming to have post-party photos. Personally we think they're photoshopped. You can tell by the pixels:

According to Plausible Body the night got more freaky:

Apparently the path is just hanging around at Etherial Isle FemDom:

Back to Plausible Body again, it seems there's been a murder!

Be sure to see part 2!

Stuff on the Hunt

The idea behind this post is to gather together details of any new product launches, or hunt-based special offers, that are happening at hunt locations during the hunt.

Evelock's Special Offer

There's a limited special offer at the Evelock main store which is available for the duration of the hunt (or until it runs out -- there are only 2 remaining as of the time of writing!). Get this sun lounger set for just L$25! This special offer is now sold out, but you can now get the sun lounger for the normal price of L$200.

Because the above has sold out Evelock have now put out a second 25 for L$25 special offer:

If you hunted any of those locations before the times given you're invited to revisit them to grab an updated copy of their gifts.

Once again, many thanks to the hunters who asked about issues and especially to the vendors who were kind enough to quickly put out updated gifts.

The Femdom Hunt IV opening dance

Yesterday evening saw us having a dance at Z&A Productions to help celebrate the start of The Femdom Hunt IV. The dance was loads of fun with great music from Eve Terr and lots of good banter from everyone who came and joined us.

We'd like to thank everyone who came along. It was a lovely break from the work of getting the hunt going and was also a fun way to meet a few names we've been chatting with in the group.

We'll be using the next Raven Park dance, in two weeks time, to mark the (almost) end of the hunt. Keep an eye out for an announcement early next week.

Here are a few photos from yesterday's dance:
