Welcome, all, to 2020! I am very pleased to announce that I am hosting this month’s Carnival of Aros. The Carnival of Aros is a month-long recurring blogging festival where arospec bloggers on different platforms make posts about a particular theme. More information on the event and past themes can be found HERE.

The theme this month is “New.”



Submissions can be anything having to do with this theme. Even if it’s tangentially related or stretching it a bit; feel free to be creative.

In case you’re low on ideas and want a starting point for inspiration, here are some prompts that may help you out:

New things you have learned since discovering aromanticism (about yourself, about aromanticism, about other arospec people, about the queer community in general, etc.)

New things you have learned since interacting with the aro community (about yourself, about aromanticism, about other arospec people, about the queer community in general, etc.)

New experiences you’ve had since learning about aromanticism and/or discovering your own aromanticism (e.g., new types of relationships, new types of feelings, new vocabulary that you found described you, new conversations you’ve had with others)

New aro or aro-coded content you have come across that you want to share or critique

Your post can be in any format: prose, poetry, visual art, music, audio recording, video, photo essay, Morse code, et cetera. To make sure I see your post, reply to this post with a link, send in an ask, or make a submission. If you wish to remain anonymous or don’t have a blog of your own that you want to post this on, you can let me know in a submission or ask and I will repost the text myself to keep your identity confidential.

I am accepting submissions until 12am EST on February 1st, 2020. I intend to post a roundup on February 3rd. Because of my schedule, I might miss late submissions. Feel free to post late submissions anyway and tag them with “carnival of aros” for others to see, though.

Happy New Year and happy blogging. :)
