Are you in love? In lust? In a complicated situationship that started because of a drunken and convenient New Year's Eve kiss, but now you're ready to take things to the next level by publicly declaring your adoration in the permanency of newsprint?

Good news, the Mercury's reader Valentines are back, and you still have time to submit your valentine online!

That's right, we've been collecting all of your little love notes—150 characters max—and crammed the first wave into our big LOVE & SEX print issue (now available at 500 spots citywide). BUT! Even if you missed the deadline to be in our print issue, don't fret... ALL your valentines—as long as they aren't mean or nonsense—will appear online throughout the Valentine season.

💘 So what are you waiting for? Declare your love in the Mercury now! 💘

(And while you're expressing your love, if you don't mind, can you help support the Mercury by making a $5 contribution so we can keep bringing you lots of news, events, and fun? No pressure, of course. But you DO love us, right?)

*Disclaimer: One per customer, please. Duplicates, mean-spirited valentines, and nonsensical gibberish will be rejected. No last names, please. All acceptable valentines received will appear online. 😃 Emojis will not be printed ☹️.
