“Warning Signs” Is The Topic For The Fifth Virtual Symposium!

“Warning Signs” Is The Topic For The Fifth Virtual Symposium!


While “Food” came on strong as a potential topic for the fifth virtual symposium, “Warning Signs” had jumped out to an early lead which it never relinquished, and is the topic of choice.

The virtual symposium is a simultaneous act of blogging. Here’s how it works: Anybody with a blog on this site is welcome to join in. All choosing to participate will create something – an essay, a cartoon, an erotic story, a memoir, a series of one-line aphorisms, an image collage, a photo montage, a poem, or anything else – relating to “Warning Signs.” At a pre-arranged time and date (see below) all participants post their contributions.

Want inspiration – or just some good reads? Here’s a link to the participants’ list from the fourth symposium: Participants List For The Fourth Virtual Symposium The One Piece Of Advice Id Give

Feel free to take the basic idea of “Warnings Signs” and stretch it to as wild an interpretation as you like -- the post should reflect you! The last thing we need is a dozen monotonous texts on the same topic. Anything goes, as long as there is a trace of the original idea in the post.

On the morning of Feb. 22 (a Sunday, for those keeping score), all participants will post their creations. Please, please, post ‘em to your own blogs early: I do want to link to them in a central post here, but I don’t want to be stapled to my desk all day.

I'll be responsible for posting links to your blogs here – I want to make this as effortless for participants as possible! I will, of course, post latecomers… people do check back to see whether new participants have joined the symposium. But after the morning of Feb. 22, I may not be updating the list as obsessively.

As for contributions themselves: The idea is to create something new, as opposed to using posts to respond to other posts (although the comments section will, of course, remain fair game). Ping me, and I’ll use a post on this blog that day to link to all contributions.

A suggestion: Participants may want to refer to either the virtual symposium or the topic itself in their headline. Not a requirement – there are no requirements, save for originality and participation – but a suggestion which will let the wide blog community know what we’re doing.

This is not a contest. No souvenir mugs will be sent, nor ribbons awarded. The idea here is for those interested to, on a single day, offer an interpretation of a single topic for the sheer fun of it.

By all means, encourage other bloggers to participate – and to let me know they’re doing so, either through this post or via email, so on the morning of Feb. 22 I can link to their posts. Oh, and please consider this an invitation – if not a request – to pimp the symposium both on your own blogs, and in individual requests to bloggers whom you’d like to see represented. The more the merrier, right? There are some folks with very distinct voices on this site who aren’t yet participating – let’s bring ‘em in and make ‘em one of us, one of us, one of us!

Remember, of course, to keep things in your voice!

Can’t wait to see the results!

Pimp the symposium, pimp the symposium, pimp the symposium... the viewers you bring in may be your own. Can't get more (verbally) naked than that...

Heh... I promised to post the chosen topic at end-day Feb. 15... so which time zone do I adhere to? (Eh, and then there are the three cups of coffee I had with dinner...)

Thank you for the Valentine's kiss and hug... mind if I cop a feel in honor of St. Dionysius?

    So glad this is the topic, I am getting a head start on it right now.
Glad you're happy... I got nuttin', and I'm locked into the "swinging in the media" focus.

But I'll find something, just you wait...

Looking forward to your contribution!

Ooh, easy topic, is it? That settles it: Next month's choices are going to be uniformly controversial and difficult*.

*If I remember to do so. And, of course, I'm always open for suggestions...

Indeed, but at best the words we wrangle are our own, as opposed to those of others!

And... given the on-again-off-again problems the blogs have with hotlinks, I'd like to get the contributions in early so I can hammer away at customer service...

Besides, standing desks are coming into vogue!

I trust, for your cheek, that you will be participating, hm?

    Something will come to you. I know it will.

    Yeah, I don't know if everyone will want to hear what I have to say, it's going in a dark direction again. It may just be an obsession.
Light or dark is up to you... and I do welcome a wide spectrum of voices, topics, and moods. As the pen (or keypad, if one must) moves, go with it!

Glad we're having you (either of you) joining us again! And as I've said before, I'm more intrigued by the topics people aren't necessarily inspired to participate in... even a negative reaction is a reaction, yes?

Been having a very interesting dialog with one of the bloggers, who is suggesting that I present topics for vote which are a bit more challenging or controversial. She may have a point... and for the next round of voting in March, I may try to create a slate of topics designed to generate unease (with one comparatively safe topic).

Hell, I'm always up for topic suggestions...

Delighted to have you join us! I'm actually delighted that you're considering doing something visual... we have a lot of wonderful writers of all stripes participating, and a little visual something now and then adds some flavor to the symposium.

In the past we've had photo essays and cartoons... at some point someone might want to try loading an audio file with an original song...

Looking forward to your participation on Feb. 22!

I'm glad you're intrigued,and I suspect another topic will suggest itself... as for how to participate: Let me know -- a note here would be fine -- on the morning of the 22nd that you've posted something. I'll create a link to it and include that link in a compilation post I'll create that morning.

For what it's worth, the site's hotlinks have been wonky of late. Sometimes they take a little while to go live... but they DO eventually go live, I promise!

And.... once I've captured your contribution, a reciprocal link is always welcome, so people reading your piece will be able to view others as well.

Welcome to the symposium!
