About

Theme: Love is strange. Discuss. The theme is open to interpretation, but note that we tend to prefer sarcasm over sap. Pieces that are quirky, dark, witty, or cringe-worthy generally get our attention. As for what counts as “love,” anything that involves connection, passion, or obsession works well. A woman’s love for gambling -- sure. A cat’s love for the ‘nip -- fine. As for what counts as “strange,” that’s up to you.
