We would like to invite any and all current college students or those who have graduated in the past year who identify on the asexual and/or aromantic spectrum to write a short reflection on the topic, “Stories About Love.” This is intended to be low-stress – you are not expected to write an entire blog post. Instead, we will create a single post combining the received submissions showing the diversity of perspectives present within our community. Your submission can be up to 300 words or another form of media such as a drawing.

How to submit

Please submit your written response to this form: https://forms.gle/UgKvEpPJ3vwYLhyr9. If you want to submit another form of media, please email it to aace@smith.edu and note your college. The deadline for submissions is February 22, and the submissions will be posted anonymously on February 23.

Prompts

The following are meant to give you ideas for what you can write about, but you are not limited to these prompts! The topic is meant to be broad, so feel free to write about whatever you are inspired to write about.

• Share a story about familial love.
• Share a story about platonic love.
• Share a story about self-love.
• Share a story about love for the world or a community.
• Share a story about any other type of love which is neither sexual nor romantic
