Should I call this "First Annual"? I've been pondering this for a while, but got sidetracked by the unexpected crash of my 2-week-old iMac and the sudden need to create an online community for a group of really interesting and insightful progressive bloggers.

So...I didn't do the graphic. I didn't plan ahead. I let it slide and slide.

But it's still a pretty darn good idea, isnt it?

The Feminist Valentine Blog Awards

Over the next six days, if you post a particularly feminist perspective on St. Valentine's Day, trackback here or comment here with a link. If you see a good snarky blog on romance from a feminist perspective, post a link here. If you or someone you know posted some great stuff in the past... yes, that's right, post a link here in a comment.

I don't know what categories there will be. Probably things like Snarkiest, Most Militant, Most Heartwrenching, Best Argument for the Subjugation of Men... you know, cheerful stuff. In actual fact, there will be just enough awards to have one for each submission. Every woman has valid insights on Valentine's Day! (Maybe some men do, too.) And I will be sure to have some nifty graphic that winners can put on their websites.

Send in your submissions! Please!...Because really, this is just a way for me to discover some really great and empowering writing to give me strength and hope during this very depressing valentine's season, where I feel like I will never ever find love again.

Nominees can (hopefully) be found in comments and trackbacks to this post. Awards will be given out as soon as I recover from my night-of-the-14th chocolate-and-pinot-noir binge towards oblivion.
