”Teachers” is The Topic For The Twenty-First Virtual Symposium

”Teachers” is The Topic For The Twenty-First Virtual Symposium


The populace has spoken, and pocogato12’s suggestion, Teachers, is the topic of choice. Can’t wait to see the various interpretations on Saturday, August 7!

For those new to the virtual symposium: In short, it’s a simultaneous act of blogging. Anybody with a blog on this site is welcome to join in. Contributors 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 “teachers.”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 most recent symposium: Participants List For the Twentieth Virtual Symposium CravingsAddictionsObsessions

Feel free to take the basic idea of “Cravings/Addictions/Obsessions” and stretch it to as wild an interpretation as you like -- the post should reflect you! Anything goes, as long as there is a trace of the original idea in the post.

On the morning of Sunday, August 7, all participants will post their creations and notify me via a post on my blog. Please, please, post ‘em to your own blogs early: I 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 – I want to make this as effortless for participants as possible! Again, 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 August 7, 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 Sunday, August 7 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!

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.

I'm going to try, because I love pocogato's idea. Teachers is so appropriate to the things going on in my mind lately.

I'm not writing today, on purpose but I'll try to remember to write a "pimp" blog tomorrow.

Thanks for coming back and doing this. I don't know if you remember me, or not, but if you don't..it's okay.

Happy Tuesday

Live life to it's fullest!

It's good to be back, and thank you! It's equally good to see you again, and I'm delighted that you'll pimp the symposium.

Just as you are taking a deliberate break from writing today, I needed a break (both for work purposes as well as from some on-site nonsense), but I'm, if not tanned, rested, and ready, at least up for typing...

Happy Tuesday -- and beyond -- to you!

It sure will be interesting... when contributors suggest topics a ) the suggestions usually win and b ) I've found that we get some great symposia out of 'em!

As for linking... we can go over it offline, but for now just remember that the system generates a numeric code for every post automatically. This one is 3864706. Use the square brackets -- these things --> [ ] and surround the post number, along with the word post.

Should look something like this: [post XXXXXXX] with the number of the post in place of the seven Xs. Or you can just copy the number and the square brackets and the word post from the bottom of each post.

Paste what you've copied (or type it in) wherever you want it to appear... and then wait for a while for the system to resolve the links. Good luck... and email me if you have further questions!

I love this topic but I'll be doing a 150+ mile charity bicycle ride this weekend. Looks like I'll need to write early and post when I can.

Thanks as always for doing this, humorlife.

It's nice to know there's someplace in the United States where democracy isn't being urinated on. I'm looking forward to more of the teachings of Annie... or how Annie is being taught... or however you end up interpreting the topic!

Il est bon de savoir qu'il ya quelque part aux États-Unis, où la démocratie est pas uriné sur. Je suis impatient de plusieurs des enseignements de Annie ... ou comment Annie est enseigné ... ou comme vous finissent par interpréter le sujet!

Good day. Ms. Curious Ginger has compelled me to write a story for the symposium. My contribution is "Seducing the Teaching Assistant" at Seducing the Teaching Assistant.
Take care now.
