The list of those participating in the Weekend Without Echos continues to grow (see list in sidebar). Participation is completely voluntary. There has been some discussion about how to get on the list. Here is what F.T. Rea has to say:
While any number of bloggers may decide to abide by the spirit of the Weekend Without Echoes project, quite on their own, all the blogs/bloggers listed this post were good enough to contact Vivian Paige, or me, about their plans to do so. Some have sent emails. Most have simply left comments to that effect in posts at her site, or mine.
Obviously, I hope the idea for this experiment spreads. But it would be impossible for us to monitor the vast blogosphere to try to keep track of which ones want to participate, which ones don’t, or which ones decide to have an alternate blogging experiment in which they will not allow any originality for three days.
So, to be listed at SLANTblog, I’m going to keep it simple — if a blogger notifies Vivian, or me, then they’re on the list.
I have picked up a couple of names from people posting on their sites that they intend to participate. But I have to admit that it is quite difficult to do so. So if you are participating and want to be listed, please let Terry or me know.
It’s going to be fun 😉

I still feel no pressure.
Really, I can’t see why you are doing this. I really feel you are all falling into the trap of desring to be recognized by MSM.
Nope, at least I’m not. As I’ve said before, the “me, too” posts with little or no comment is what I find boring in the blogsphere. Hopefully, there will be a lot less of that during the weekend.
Jim Hoeft,
By now you must know that Vivian and I really weren’t duped into cooking this experiment up by anybody in the mainstream media. Nor is this a stunt to make anybody look bad, or pay anybody back. It is just a thing to do.
Or, a thing to ignore. It’s not a thing to be against. How can anybody be against something that encourages original thinking and extra effort?
Here’s the truth: I want to boost developing writers into trusting their own experience, to draw from it for their reasons to be for, or against, an idea, or a politician. That, rather than what they’ve been told. And, I want to challenge myself to produce a new and worthy piece. Of course, I’m curious to see what will happen. Apparently, some rather bright people on both sides of the blogging aisle already agree with me. More will sign on.
Why not? It’s fun.
I gather you’re a baseball fan. Me too. So, is your original “kiss my ass” comment the top of your game?
