It is nine short days until National Flash Fiction Day (16th May), the UK’s first annual celebration of very short, short fiction. It’s too late to submit any work for this year’s competitions, but you may want to look at http://nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/ to see what’s happening.

If you don’t feel like getting involved, here’s our antisocial quote of the day:

“There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and the slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.”

– Vladimir Nabokov
