Participants List For The Fifteenth Virtual Symposium: Black And White

Participants List For The Fifteenth Virtual Symposium: Black And White


Welcome to the fifteenth virtual symposium, an informal collection of bloggers who – purely for the hell of it – voted on a single topic ("Black and White") and agreed, on or about December 27, 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:

Welcome to the virtual symposium! Glad you joined us as a contributor this time, and hope you'll stick around for future editions!

The link is going to take a little while to go live -- nothing you did, it's the site having its own special process.

Hope you enjoy the other contributions... and thank you for linking back to this. Again, welcome aboard!

Thank you! The hell of it is that when a post is taken down, it usually stays up in the host's view for a bit. I've tweaked it slightly, using my best guess as to what triggered the automated takedown... but please let me know if it vanishes again...

Here's my contribution, NO BLACK BITS, SOME WHITE BITS AND MANY YELLOW BITS - that's post 3751126.
I'm off on holiday early tomorrow morning and, as I'm still busy packing, I won't be able to get round all the virtual symposium contribution until I return next week. But get round them all, I will!
Happy New Year!

You're in for a treat when you come 'round: I'm barely a third of the way through them, and folks really took advantage of the plethora of ways the topic could be interpreted. Great fun, so far...

Count yourself in that august group! And... safe travels!

Ah... the size comment was made so that those of us with older eyes -- and I do count myself among them -- can read more easily without our glasses.

We have no quarrel about the blog length, though: I tend to clock in at around 800-900 words, which may be a little long for electronic media but, as you indicate, good writing makes getting through longer posts worthwhile.

I'm delighted you like the symposium! It's very gratifying to see how people who aren't used to writing to "assigned" topics (for participation is, of course, voluntary) take to it... I hope you'll continue to contribute! And, of course, if you have any suggestions for potential topics, please feel free to suggest 'em.
