Ah, love. It can take so many forms: “exciting and new,” “many-splendored,” “a battlefield.” But who cares what poets say? Every Valentine’s Day, we turn The Stranger’s hallowed pages over to our cherished readers, that they might express the true meaning of the greatest four-letter word in our language (not counting “fuck,” obviously). Got a husband? Wife? Sweetheart? All of the above? Well, now you can let them know you care, without paying a red cent.

Here’s how: Submit your valentine (40 words max) HERE. Deadline is Friday, February 6, at 5 p.m. Act fast, Romeo: Only the first 2,000 entries will go in our February 11 print edition. But don’t fret, Juliet: Every last valentine will go online at thestranger.com.

The fine print: No jerks, no stalkers, no last names, no phone numbers, no kissing. Just kidding. Kissing is encouraged. One valentine per customer, please.
