“Odd Then, Fantastic Now” Is The Topic For The Sixth Virtual Symposium!
|
“Odd Then, Fantastic Now” Is The Topic For The Sixth Virtual Symposium! “Odd Then, Fantastic Now: How attitudes toward specific aspects of sex change between youth and maturity” narrowly eked out more blogger votes than “Food,” and is the topic of choice for the next virtual symposium. 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 “Odd Then, Fantastic Now.” 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 fifth symposium: Participants List For The Fifth Virtual Symposium Warning Signs Feel free to take the basic idea of “Odd Then, Fantastic Now” 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 March 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! 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 March 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). Leave a note in the blog comments, 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 through this post, so on the morning of March 22 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! 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...

I think I have an unfair advantage here. I'm old and have a good deal of experience with oddity. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I think I have an unfair advantage here. I'm old and have a good deal of experience with oddity. As one lives, one's pool of experience increases -- and this is doubly true for someone who lives with his/her eyes open. Because of this, odd experiences get factored into the sum total of experiences. What may seem odd early on becomes only slightly out of the humdrum to us. As a result, for an experience to truly register as "odd" with an experienced person, it must be several standard deviations beyond the norm. Advantage: The young. The question is whether participants are standard deviants, or true outliers...

"The question is whether participants are standard deviants, or true outliers..." Oh, they're fucking deviants all right, if not outright perverts. But I hesitate to come right out and call them liars- innies, outies or otherwise. As to playing fast and loose with the truth, thanks for reminding me to play to my own strength.
