Carnivals - No More Bonfire, but Kid Comedy, Banned Blogs, and Maritime Monday are On Their Way

by Ferdinand T Cat

The Bonfire of the Vanities is no more. This was one of the most popular carnivals, but an inability to get volunteer hosts made it prohibitive to continue. It will be missed.

On the plus side of the ledger, however, we have three new carnivals on our Carnival Submit Form.

The Kid Comedy Carnival is looking for submissions that are kid related. They need not be your own kids, but the submissions must be funny, family friendly, g-rated, and compatible with a Christian lifestyle. (Don't worry, Christians have TV and caffeine too.) Submissions are due every Friday, 11:59PM CST , and guidelines can be found here.

The Carnival of the Banned Blogs will be held on April 15, 2006. The Carnival seeks any post on censorship, blogger's rights, or freedom of the press. In addition, anyone who blogs from a service banned in any country is eligible to submit a post. If you blog on blogger.com, wordpress.com, blogspot.com, egoweblog.com, blogspirit.com, blogeasy.com, blogzor.com, mazeme.com, yesblogger.com, tblog.com, or joeuser.com, then you're banned in most parts of China and probably elsewhere. The carnival will be held quarterly, and guidelines can be found here.

The Maritime Monday Carnival is a weekly Carnival covering the Commercial Maritime world and related. Looking at the Dubai Port hysteria, there is a severe lack of understanding about the Maritime Industry. So this is your chance to spread the word about what it's all about. Submissions are due every Sunday, 10PM ET, and guidelines can be found here.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

Well, the Bonfire has finally burned out. As I remarked on Conservative Cat, I miss it already. I’ve thought about it, and I’ve decided to do something about it. ... [Read More]

I miss the Bonfire already.

Alas, I never submitted anything of mine to the Bonfire, although I imagine that I had many worthy posts. Tis a bit confusing to have both a bonfire and carnival of the vanities, perhaps people got confused.

Instead of letting it just fizzle out, you should have a be all, end all, Super Bonfire!
Or do like Krusty the Klown did when he got Kancelled, call in some big league stars to help revive it! You have Malkin, Glenn, and Hugh on your email list right? Call in some favors!
