A luurve thingy of the week

Love is the theme for this week’s web pick. With Valentine’s Day not so far away, Manchester’s site for aspiring literary types is looking for love even in the unlikeliest of places.
Organiser Kate Feld explains; “Whether you’re an old romantic or a cynic, we invite you to tell us your tales (real or imagined) of falling in, out, or over love in our city.
“But don’t restrict yourselves to traditional romances; we’re willing to interpret ‘love story’ in a wider sense. The winning submission could be about a more abstract kind of love. It could even be an anti-love poem, or a rant against all things loved-up.”
The winning piece of writing will be published on the Rainy City Stories website where you can also find further details about how to enter.
The winner will receive a £50 Borders gift voucher donated by the Manchester Literature Festival.
Find out more about this competition and the writing website for the city at rainycitystories.com.
We will be hunting around for blogs or websites to feature here and add to the blogroll as well as in Saturday’s print edition of the MEN so, if you’ve got one to nominate, submit a link to the below. The only criteria is that they have some connection with Manchester.
