Lets Travel through Time !!!

Date for Blog-a-Ton 8: March 6, 2010

Lets welcome the new Blog-a-Tonics first of all :
You all will be blogrolled soon.

After one of the most keenly debated Topic discussion, Blog-a-Tonics have voted for Time Travel as the topic for Blog-a-Ton 8.  And once again I must congratulate Debosmita for suggesting this topic. Yup, she also suggested 'What if' which was the topic for previous blog-a-ton. 

I must also congratulate Vibhuti for suggesting the topic 'The Tiger', another favourite this time, and her conviction towards the cause.

While dealing with the topic 'Time Travel', you have the freedom to treat it the way you want. Its upto you; which genre of writing you choose, i.e. simple essay-type, article, dialogue, short story (even 55 Fiction for that matter), poem or whatever you feel like.

Moreover, its upto you; which mood or tone you choose to set it in, i.e. serious, witty, humour, optimistic or whatever that comes to you naturally.

Again, you have the freedom to choose the language of communication. However, we'll suggest you to write in English to put across your views to the maximum members which will also help you when its the time to vote for the BATOM.

I hope this clarification helps the new Blog-a-Tonics.

So, you all have ample time to write it but you'll have to wait till Mar 6 to post it finally along with everyone else.

Please write your posts on time as the late entries will not be allowed to participate in the voting round (though the links will be added to the participants list).

Other rules regarding posting will be conveyed to you later.

So kindly wait for that notification on next Friday rather than putting up queries right now. If the queries are regarding general pattern of the event, please go through the posts about previous events.
Wishing you all, a free flow of thoughts
Blog-a-Tonically yours

  16. Can we automate voting? Using some poll tool/widget or something which can also record who voted for what? Then Vipul, your job will be to just verify that the voting was fair. What say??

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hey how about rating all the participant posts instead of voting one? Post with highest rates can be announced as winner.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey.. I like the Idea of Nethra !! There should be rating of participants !!!!

    ReplyDelete
