“The First Time” was the blogosphere’s top choice for the upcoming virtual symposium’s topic. As with all symposium topics, this one does not necessarily refer to anything sexual: Let’s let The First Time reflect as wide a range of interpretations as there are symposium participants! For those new to the virtual symposium: In short, it’s 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 “The First Time.” At a pre-arranged time and date (see below) all participants post their contributions. Want a better sense of how it works – or just some good reads? Here’s a link to the participants’ list from the sixteenth symposium: Participants List For The Sixteenth Virtual Symposium Friends With Benefits Feel free to take the basic idea of “The First Time” 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 Sunday, February 28, 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! Once you’ve posted, leave a note in the comments section here so I know to link to your submission. I will, of course, post latecomers… people do check back to see whether new participants have joined the symposium. But after the morning of February 28, 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). Leave a note in the blog comments, and I’ll use a post on this blog that day to link to all contributions. First 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. Second suggestion: Consider using one of the larger sizes, which can be found in the box when inputting a post. I find the much larger sizes offputting and hard to read… but size 2, to my mind, balances having to squint and the vertigo-inducing larger sizes. (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. 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 through this post, so on the morning of February 28 I can link to their posts. Oh, and please consider this an invitation – if not a request – to 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! Every symposium, there are a few newbies who contribute posts, and don’t let me know about their contributions (I catch some by watching the “recent posts” feed, but that’s hit or miss). So… once you post, please leave me a note on the master list post, or here! (I get messages about the symposium which are attached to the blog a little faster than the ones which are emailed to me.) Can’t wait to see the results! the symposium, the symposium, the symposium... the viewers you bring in may be your own. Can't get more (verbally) naked than that... Final note: When the page with all the contributors goes live, please consider adding the link to your post, even if the contribution has already gone live. Doing so allows people to readily access all the other offerings… which is, after all, one of the purposes of this exercise.

Good catch! That was an editing error on my part, which I've now corrected... And this, boys and girls, is why we don't attempt to copy edit at 5 a.m.... Appreciate the heads-up!

"Before attempting fisting, a Christian husband and wife should pray together and ask for divine guidance. The husband should ask that God guide his hand and work through him, and for the skill and patience to fist his wife correctly and maximize her pleasure. The wife should pray for openness and readiness to receive God’s love and grace in the form of her husband’s hand." Oh! You wrote the FIRST Time. Never mind.

Newbie to this forum ....and I was wondering if a post could go up earlier , as I have an idea of what first time I would post about ...just the way I tend to blog ...I go in and post in the moment , I am not one to post with much thought beyond that moment .....Thank you for your time The purpose of the exercise is to present multiple and varied interpretations on a single topic at more or less the same time, and as such I encourage folks to post their entry on the designated symposium morning. That said... This isn't a rule, because there are few rules. But I would ask that you not post quite this early for a simple reason: It's hard to keep track of contributions as it is, and if people start tossing contributions up at random times, I'm going to miss including them on the master list. This has already happened a few times... And I do like to include everyone on the master list, so folks can get the recognition for participating! There's one more consideration: I'm not going to put the master list up until the morning of Feb. 28, and once I do I encourage symposium participants to edit their posts and include a link back to the list, so their readers can see how others have interpreted the topic. Editing posts is easy enough, but it's a little more complicated once the posts have been moved down a bit. I realize this is a non-answer... I guess the short version would be you are free to post when you want, but in the spirit of the communal aspect of the symposium, and of the idea of multiple interpretations appearing simultaneously, I'd encourage you not to. There is no reward for posting early (or reward at all). Fair 'nuff? Whatever you decide, it'll be good to have you as a contributor!

Bonjour Humorlife Je suis venu voir en Amérique si tout va bien Depuis hier , tout les commentaires s'effacent en France , dans la matinée . C'est surement un bug , mais si cela persiste nous aurons un problème pour répondre le jour du symposium . ♥ Bisou ♥ Poton ♥ Annie ♥ Hello Humorlife I came to America hopefully Since yesterday, all comments disappear in France, in the morning. This is probably a bug, but if it persists we will have a problem to meet the day of the symposium. ♥ Kiss ♥ Annie ♥
