Asheron's Call | Valentine of Dereth |

Those wacky guys at AC have cooked up another contest: Valentine's Day approaches, when a young warrior's heart turns from carnage to more romantic pursuits. One of the most popular features of Asheron's Call remains its social aspect -- and as a result, we know Dereth is filled with great romance stories!
In observance of Valentine's Day, we want to hear about your own romantic AC experiences. Made a connection with someone in Dereth that evolved into a full-blown romance off-line? Do you play with your partner, and has it helped or hurt your relationship? Tell us about it, and your tale of true love (or true woe) could appear here on the AC site! Please keep all submissions to 300 words or less, PG-rated, and send them to website@asheronscall.com by February 6, 2001. If we decide to use your story, we'll notify you and may follow-up for additional details.
