May the Fourth be With You — Reduced-fee entry day!

May 4, 2020

Today is the day. If you’ve been holding on to that killer flash fiction, waiting for the entry fee to come down, there’s no time like now! Actually now is the only time. For the rest of today, you may enter to win the SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction for $4 a story. Please make sure you use the May the Fourth Be With You form on Submittable.

We are offering this reduced rate to writers who have been adversely affected by the current crisis, people whose lives were already pretty damn hard before the world went into lockdown, people who need a break right now.

I know nothing about Star Wars, so I’ll leave it up to you guys to make allusions to the movies in your retweets.

Stay well,

Christopher

The March Micro Marathon 26

In its third year, The March Micro Marathon will be, as usual, a prompt-a-day whirlwind for 24 days. You’ll exchange drafts of micro fiction, non-fiction, and prose poetry in small groups and gather for a series of online events (all recorded for participants unable to attend live). We’ll finish with 3 competitions, and participants who are not already in SmokeLong Fitness will be invited to workshop with SmokeLong Fitness until the end of April!
