Hello everybody!

I know we've just had a string of really big love memes, but a comment floated past on my reading list today and I thought: yes.

In particular, someone was expressing a desire for a "not a darkroom orgy" meme for Valentine's Day: not because they don't intend to participate in the local darkroom, and not because they think there's anything wrong with the darkroom, but just because they'd like a dedicated space for something that isn't quite that. And, well, it can be a rough time of year for people, especially with the message that monogamous heterosexual relationships are the most important kind of relationship, so I think a healthy dose of respect and love might be no bad thing. <3

This post will close to new nominations on the evening (GMT) of Sunday the 17th, but I intend to keep unscreening comments to threads for as long as they come in!

♥ Nominate yourself or someone else, anonymously or logged-in, by putting your/their username in the subject line of a comment to this entry. If you do not know for certain the person's preferred pronouns and they do not list them on their DW profile, please use gender neutral pronouns as a default. Other people can then reply to that comment with goopy declarations of love, reasons that person is awesome, sparkly expressions of admiration, etc! All comments are screened, and I'll unscreen them as they arrive. (So, if your comment doesn't appear right away, please be patient; I'll leave my online status at the bottom of this post to keep people updated on whether I'm unscreening or not.)

♥ If you don't want to be nominated, or don't want comments referring to certain things [body/appearance, wrong pronouns, etc] to appear on your thread, please let me know; I won't unscreen any such comment or nomination. If I make a mistake in unscreening something, if you want a comment to your thread unscreened or deleted, if you have any concerns you need to raise -- please just tell me, and I'll attend to it as soon as I can. If there are any inappropriate comments made to a thread, I will check with the person being referred to before unscreening.

♥ Share the love: please do send people over here (and to your own thread!)

♥ These guidelines are modeled on

♥ That's it -- happy posting!

What a lovely idea!

I could definitely use some love just now.

I have all the love, and more, than I can know; and some of you know whom and from where.

But there is always, always, more: no-one has a monopoly on it, and expressing love - a little or a lot of it - makes more, and makes it new again.

Who is too embarrassed to put his own name on here, but could also do with some love just now.

zarhooie is the best kind of braintwin. She consoles me, lifts me up, and conspires with me. THERE WILL BE SHENANIGANS.

I've always been nervous of participating in love-memes, because I feel I don't know the culture or etiquette. But this one seems to be full of people I know, so I am tentatively putting my name forward.
