This is the FINAL DAY to sign up for the Jerboa Lit 500, our first 48-hour, 500-word flash fiction competition!

Open to writers from around the world, the competition will feature a prompt consisting of a genre, an item, and a short phrase (all drawn live from a spiffy hat) that entrants will craft a story around over the weekend of January 17-19^th. Entry is only $20, and we have $2,200 in prizes to award, including a $1,000 grand prize!

We’d love for you to join us! All of the contest details are available at our website ( http://www.jerboalit.com/" rel="nofollow - www.jerboalit.com ), and you can register at the link below. We can’t wait to read what you come up with!

Just signed up! Looking forward to this, and LOVE that we can watch The Drawing Of The Prompts From A Spiffy Hat IRL. What a fun and clever notion!!!

If I wasn't doing the microfiction challenge in the same time frame, I'd definitely sign up for this!
