Jerbiss, a small plush jerboa, stands in front of a collection of classic books. He is so excited that the Jerboa Lit 250 (the 48-hour flash fiction contest that he runs), is almost upon us! April 24-26! He would also like you to know that you can register for the competition at www.jerboalit.com
A plush jerboa with a mug full of tea and a cup full of pens, sitting against a floral blanket. He is getting ready to participate in a weekend-long flash fiction contest, the Jerboa Lit 500, where he will try to write 500 words in the 48ish hours between 10PM CDT on March 13 and midnight on March 15. Unfortunately for Jerbie, he does not know how to write, and as such, is unlikely to win the competition. Would you like to compete against writers around the world for a shot at $2,200 in prize money? More information can be found at our website, www.jerboalit.com, and you can register right here: https://www.jerboalit.com/registration-500

A small fire extinguisher and a plush jerboa share a couple glasses of red wine. There is a lighted candle labeled "Slow Burn" in the foreground, and love is in the air.
Three slips of paper, one reading "Romantic Comedy," one reading "Fire extinguisher," and one reading "what was I talking about." Together, these form the prompt for the first-ever Jerboa Lit 500 flash fiction contet!
