Plenty of news happens within the expansive confines of the virtual society known as Second Life. Thankfully, iReporters are keeping a careful watch over this corner of the digital universe. Some of these stories have run on CNN. PhorkyadA presented a fantastic video of a rehearsal for a performance of Euripedes' "The Bacchae" at the Greek Theater on Cookie island. We presented his video during our weekly public newsgathering discussion in Second Life and brought up other topics that appeared in the week's SL iReports. Story subject matter included diverse topics such as the Furry subculture, the darkly themed simulation of Black Swan and games of "human chess" played by avatars.

If you're in Second Life, you can join in on the fun, too. See a story or issue you'd like to cover? Simply take a postcard or snapshot and upload it at iReport.com. Or, e-mail submissions to slireport@cnn.com. In-world news chasers can also meet with iReport staffers at the iReport hub on Future each Tuesday at 2 p.m. Second Life time (5 p.m. ET) for the weekly meeting. Hope to see your stories very soon!
