The theme for the next carnival is “Comfort”, and
submissions are welcome from anyone up until November 1st, Japan time.
Never participated in a blog carnival before and don’t even know what I’m
talking about? No problem! It’s very easy. Just email me a link to your blog
post (or even someone else’s post you think fits the theme and I’ll try to get
in touch with them). It can be a new post you wrote just for the carnival or
something ten years old, it really doesn’t matter. Just add a link in your post
to either one link I’ll email you or if you are feeling very community minded
you can link individually to each of the carnival participants, then once the
carnival is live please read the other contributions and leave a comment for
them. The idea is to build connections with other bloggers, get a different
perspective, and have some fun! Some of my favourite blogs are ones I first
encountered through carnivals I was participating in. The theme is
intentionally broad so that you can adapt it to fit your blog’s focus and your
own writing style. Plus, comfort is just the first word that springs (ha ha)
to mind when I think of autumn in Japan…
kotatsu, gluhwein, a good book and roasted chestnuts.
The previous two carnivals were both in spring, but my
original intention was actually to do one each season. I’ve been
procrastinating about putting up a third because there hasn’t been a great deal
of interest, but on reflection I enjoy it so what the hey, I’ll go ahead and if
participation stays low I’ll just include links to some of my favourite
relevant blog posts!
So, if you are interested please email me at sopheliajapan@gmail.com
with “carnival” in the subject line. If you don’t have a blog but want to
contribute something I am also very happy to host it here, and I welcome
contributions in any format (photo essays, video and multi-media, comics… please
don’t feel constrained but my text-heavy style!). I would also appreciate anyone who can sharing this call for submissions to help get the word out and hopefully round up some more participants :)
