I participated in this blogfest last year and I highly recommend it. While it is a month long and involves posting 26 out of 30 days--not to mention the time it takes to visit other participants--there's also no comparable event. When else are you going to find the blogosphere turned into a series of alphabet letters, with no two bloggers taking the same approach, and get to know dozens of new people?
Second, Alex J. Cavanaugh's Catch Fire! Blog Party.
His new book CassaFire is coming out on February 28, and he's asked for the blogosphere to help spread the word. If half as many people have signed up as those who did for the CassaStar blog event, then a ton of blogs will be showcasing his book. And I get the feeling there are many more this time!
. . . and I hope none of you will mind if I mention my own blogfest. Tomorrow is The Eagle's Aerial Perspective's blogoversary (two years, everyone. Hard to get my head around) and the celebration begins with The Evil Genius Blogfest. The general idea? Post in any form about an evil genius (real or fictional) of your choice. You can even win stuff!
For those of you who have already signed up, I can't wait to see what you come up with. :)

Will you be participating in any of these?

cool book
Thanks for this. I'll put it on my To Do list! ;)
Thanks for the mention! Good luck with your blogfest tomorrow - bet you get some cool entries.
And there isn't ANYTHING that compares to the A to Z Challenge.
I'm a bit ashamed that I was unaware of your blogfest scheduled for tomorrow. I'd sign up now but I'm feeling incredibly lazy and I already have my post scheduled. I think.
The A to Z and CassaFire fests I'm all signed up and ready to go with.
I'm hoping to get yours and Alex's tomorrow (cos I'm determined to only post on Mondays)! Yay!!!!!!
Take care

I may regret it, but I've signed up for the A to Z again this year. It really is a great time, even if it is exhausting.
And congrats to Alex. The blogosphere will be awash in CassaFire posts this week. :))
This is all crazy fun. Now I have to think about my favorite evil genius.
Definitely signed up for A to Z. Sorry I'm unable to make your blog event, though I will stop by. Congrats on two years!
Great informative post! Thanks for this! :D
I'm signed up for your blogfest, and the 27th is already here :) I still have not chosen what to write about though!
Happy Blogoversary!!!
...wanted to take part in this last year, and would love to participate this time around, but as usual, will have to ask permission from the tedious schedule ;)
El
Pfft posting every day, is that something that's hard to do?...LOL...yeah I signed up for the a to z a while back.
I just realised I've signed up for all of these - not like me :-)
And I still don't know who my evil genius is!
so many awesome blogfests....:) I want to do them all, but I have to control myself...hehe
A to Z sounds quite interesting but I am afraid I would fail within the first few days - I usually blog just once a week. Still something for me to think about, though.
I signed both my blogs up for A-Z.
As for your blogfest, I'll have to put my thinking cap on first and see if I can think of a good post.
:-)
Sounds interesting. If I wasn't going through some health issues right now, I would definitely join in. Perhaps next time. Good luck, have fun, and congrats on two years.
I am afraid i was not here for the blog fest-but I am in on the evil genius event.
I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge this year.
I wish Alex luck with his next book.
I'm posting about Alex's today! :) Good luck with your blogfest. I'd love to do it, but I have so much on the go at the moment.

I tell you, you folks know how to do these blogfests. Hope it goes great.
I'm signed up for A-Z. Oh, and Alex is on my blog and I'll be shouting for him tomorrow. Wow, I guess I'm actually in the loop for once. Well, almost, I didn't know about your blogfest. :( Good luck with it. I'll be by to check it out!
Adam: I really want to read it. :)
Jack: You're welcome!
Alex: Anytime. :)
Thank you--I've read the entries so far and they're awesome!
Nope.
Rusty: That's okay. I'm sure your scheduled post is awesome and I'd hate to mess up anyone's plans.
You've written your A to Z posts already? Wow. I started letter A but haven't gotten around to the rest of them yet . . . LOL.
Old Kitty: Your entry was awesome! :)
L.G.: Yup!
I hope he sells a ton of copies. :)
Susan: Thank you for posting about your favorite evil genius!
Susan: Cool. I hope you'll check out some of the other entries as well!
Thank you! :)
Morgan: You're welcome!
Trisha: I suppose it would be if you live in Australia . . . timed blogging really brings out the different time zones. LOL.
I'm sure you'll come up with something great.
Brian: Thank you! :)
Elliot: I hope the schedule finds it in its hectic heart to allow you to. :)
Pat: For some of us, yeah. :P
I always enjoy stopping by your blog to read your daily posts! Can't wait to see what you do for the A to Z Challenge.
Sarah: LOL. I've come across other bloggers' posts where I was planning to participate in all of the listed things . . .
Tfwalsh: Same here sometimes. They're a lot of fun!
E.D.: It's not for everyone; I used to post more often so the A-Z Challenge wasn't a ton of a stretch, but now with sometimes just two posts a week I think it's going to be harder.
If you do join, I look forward to reading your posts! :)
Misha: Both of your blogs? . . . wow. That's a lot of posting for the month of April! I'm sure your posts will be awesome. :)
Traci: I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. But there is always the next Challenge. :)
Thank you!
Paul: Great!
Theresa: I get the feeling there will be a lot of A-Z-ers in the blogosphere come April. :)
Same from me!
Talli: Thanks!
Completely understandable. I was running around (well, virtually) this morning trying to get everything done for the blogfest myself . . .
Charles: Thank you. :)
Ciara: Thanks. I hope you enjoy the entries!
Jen: Thanks!
You're the second person here who will be posting on two blogs for the A-Z Challenge. I am in awe. :)
Er, I hate to pull you away from finals . . . I hope you can find the time for both. :P
I'm so behind.
I haven't decided if I'm doing the A-Z this year yet.
Southpaw: It's a lot to take on--especially at the outset, if you write your posts ahead of time (I'm trying to do that, but haven't gotten very far at this point).
