we are asking for volunteers to write 800-1,000 word blog posts
about a novel, film, television show, graphic novel, podcast, any
form of fictional representation. Analyses of adaptations are
also welcome. Steve Selka and I hope that this will be first and
foremost an enjoyable exercise to write and read, but also we hope
that perhaps this will be useful for teaching, given how often
many of us use video clips in classes.<br>

are asking people to suggest or choose a work they would like to
analyze for the CaMP blog. Once at least three people have signed
up to discuss a piece of fiction, we will negotiate a deadline
that adds as little stress as possible to people’s all too
obligated lives. When enough people sign up to discuss a
particular text, they will form an editing circle – each person
will edit two other pieces in the two weeks after the deadline.
When all the edited and revised posts have been sent to CaMP
