Are applications accepted electronically?

I like it, quite dark. Well done.

I think Tabia officially outranks me for the emo of this site.

I can't say that I liked this. I miss you Tabia, but I also miss your writing.

Tabia I would like to call you out on the fact that you ALREADY posted this on your blog; and you made no admission of said fact in your post. I think the protocol is if you take something from your blog and post it on heartrape you must at least admit to the fact.
I like this as a blog post...but not a heartrape post, it's too short, not enough meat.

Hmm. I want to say that I like it, but I really don't. "Heart for sale" is an overused metaphor, "Heart Wanted" is just an extension of it. This post seems minimalistic for the point of being minimalistic. It's kind of disappointing, I suppose.

Jessica said...

I approve.
I liked it on your blog, and I like it now.
I don't think it needs to be any meatier, and I think it says what it needs to say, which is why it's minimalistic.

I thought it looked familiar, but I thought I was going crazy. Good to know I've retained some amount of saneness.

I like the "apply within" a lot. I think it says so very much in so little, perhaps more so than all the rest, which I think is quite the feat.

And Emlyn don't go hating on short posts! Literature is literature, we just have to judge it for the style that it's in even if it's not the typical Heart Rape style :)! It still deserves actual comments pertaining to what's written.

I don't think I like this either :( Bernard hit it on the mark for me.

But I think it would be interesting if there was like, a heart auction antique roadshow style. And they would interview the owners and examine the hearts and stuff, and be like, "Yes, yes...you can see a crack here that has been patched over many times...hmm...I think I'd price this at $8,000."
Then there would be that crystal ring and the owner would be all surprised like, "Oh wow, I found it hidden in a book!"

Bahaha. I wonder what an authentic de Kooning heart would look like.

HAHA a de kooning heart XD I love Andrea
