Participants List For The Sixteenth Virtual Symposium: Friends With Benefits


NOTE: READ THIS PART, EVEN IF YOU ARE A LONGTIME CONTRIBUTOR

Many of you are aware that there’s been a site glitch in which posts are seemingly deleted. While its exact causes are yet unknown, it seems that one of the triggers is putting numerals – any numerals – in the title of one’s blog post. In short, if you have a reference to the 16th Virtual Symposium in your title, please change it to the Sixteenth Virtual Symposium. Similarly, apostrophes and other punctuation may or may not trigger glitches.

Kudos to [blog KtMnDu] and redrockrascal for identifying and staying atop this glitch. Their efforts are part of the reason we’re able to host the symposium at its schedule time.

Finally: WOW! The sixteenth symposium is officially only eight hours old, and save for the first one, we’ve SHATTERED the record for first-time participants. To our newbies: Welcome, welcome, welcome! Watch this blog so you can stay up to date on the next voting – help us choose the next topic in three weeks or so. To the veterans: You know what to do…

And now, back to the boilerplate text.

Welcome to the sixteenth virtual symposium, an informal collection of bloggers who – purely for the hell of it – voted on a single topic ("Friends With Benefits") and agreed, on or about January 31, to post their interpretations of that topic.

First, a public service announcement: Some folks find the default font size for long blog contributions small. Personally, I find the much larger sizes offputting and hard to read… but I could see size 2 being a compromise. (This post has been posted in size 2, for what it’s worth…) Of course, there’s always the trick of holding down the control button and hitting either the + or – keys, which for most websites serves to enlarge or shrink copy and images. But I promised that I’d pass along the request, and have now done so. Whether or not folks decide to use the larger sizes is purely a matter of personal taste, and has no bearing on symposium eligibility.

As for the symposium itself: there are no prizes or awards, save for the opportunity to build a more-closely knit blog community. All bloggers are invited to participate in this, as well as all future, virtual symposiums. To participate, watch this blog for future symposium topics: We anticipate doing one per month.

The rules, such as they are, are simple: Once the blogosphere voted on a topic, all bloggers were and are invited to interpret the topic as loosely as they choose, and offer any type of post they like which either tangentially or directly addresses the topic, whether through fantasy/fiction, essay, photographs, image collages, poems, one-liners, or any other form they choose. Contact me through a comment on this post to be included on this list, which I will update as new participants make themselves known.

We (that’s the editorial we – or perhaps I have a tapeworm) hope readers will use these virtual forums to discover new, interesting voices. A request of readers: If you find an entry you especially like, please don’t be shy about leaving an attaboy/attagirl on the appropriate blog. Applause never hurts!

A continually updated list of participants can be found below: Please check back often, as I’ll add new posts as often as appropriate (and as other responsibilities allow). Please leave a note here if I haven’t included your submission!

Note: The site's system is being temperamental about posting hot links: Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't... sometimes they take a few attempts. If a link isn't hot, please track down the appropriate blogs. They're worth it.

AND... BY ALL MEANS, IF YOU HAVEN'T CONTRIBUTED AND WANT TO, PLEASE DO SO! Was hoping to get most of the submissions input at the start of the day... but people do keep checking the list for new contributors... so if you're so moved, write a post and let me know here so I can include you.

Hey, gang, looks like we picked up some new participants! Check the list, and give ‘em an appropriately inappropriate welcome!

In no particular order at all, our participants include:

I don't know where to suggest a subject for the next symposium.

Meaningless Sex. That's a mouthful.

Here is as good a place as any! I've added your suggestion to my master list: Can't guarantee that it'll be one of the topics for the next symposium (if for no other reason than I'm a forgetful S.O.B.), but it's officially in the hopper!

If you like the idea, you're going to LOVE the reality! Welcome to the virtual symposium: Hope you'll stick around for a while, regardless of the topic. As I'm known for saying, sometimes the best posts come from topics that don't initially intrigue you...
