horsehair snaps; you can guess the rest.
The festival organisers are asking you to submit your Fibs, in all their tiny glory. They can be on any topic, just as long as they follow the form 1/1/2/3/5/8.
The best submissions will go forward to the grand final, which will take place during the festival in March.
