That's the whole idea. Eventually when I can breathe, I am going to put all the shop icons up at the top of the thread so people can see at a glance what we have to offer, but webrings will also be involved too.

I'm also trying to link shops to specific places - I'm working on the Iunu Safari at the moment and this has links not only to the city of Iunu in the Nome of the Prospering Spectre, but also has links to the Orient, Indonesia, Malaysia and wherever else I can think of. There is going to be the Nefer Heifer Tacky Gift Shop, linked to the city of Nefer Heifer and I think the Alexandria Emporium can be linked to Alexandria.

This way, it might get people interested in moving about the Hoods if there are virtual shops linked to those areas....give them a psychological feeling of being attached to a place, not just floating aimlessly about. We've given them the "head knowledge" of a place in our write ups of the Hoods, but not the emotional attachment needed to stay. The aim of the Bazaar is to provide information with entertainment - make them laugh and they will come back for more!

So, having other world participate is really ideal - and feel free to link the best places your world has to offer.
