As for the BSO, I'll hear back from them by December 10th to see if I get a live audition. They have my recording, so all I can do now is wait.
I've started a new story for this anthology:
What a neat cover! I bet this one is harder to get into because it's a paying market, but I'm giving it a try. My story is a sci fi explorer story, set in the year 2568 called Timeshift.
Here's the beginning:
“Compatible planet found.”
The monotone computer voice echoed in Donnica's head as sound with no meaning. She reached up with shaky fingers and touched the ice crusted glass above her face. Tubes rustled from her arm and she yanked them out, squirming.
How long had she been in stasis?
Anyone else going to write for this one?

Congrats on being short listed :) (Though to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what that means since I don't write short stories and submit them ...) And good luck with the audition. Kudos to you for putting in your tape.
Exciting new beginning there :) and congrats on the short list!!

Congrats, girl!! Hope you're celebrating :)
Wow! congratulations!
Congrats on being short listed!!! I'm hoping to write my pirate story sometime the end of this week or next week.
And, that's cool about the other anthology. I'm pretty terrible coming up with sci-fi ideas, so I don't think I'll enter that one.
Oh, I have my fingers crossed for you and the BSO too!!
Oh congrats and good luck. I like the beginning for your sci-fi piece!
Good luck with both!
I'm pretty much not writing for themes unless something strikes me with lightning: I've got over forty unsubmitted stories backlogged right now, not counting flash fiction ...
Congrats and best of luck on all those! Can't wait to read more of your stories.
Congrats! :)
First, congratulations on the short list!
Second, my fingers are crossed for you!
Third, just from the tiny teaser you put on here, I'd say you have a great shot! That was an awesome opening and I'm totally hooked!
Keep us posted...
You are amazing. Just saying--you're one of those people who NEVER gives up and keeps trying so many different things! No wonder you have so many short stories and novels listed in your sidebar. :)
Ooh - I like your beginning - great start!
Congrats!
Congrats on being shortlisted! Sounds like an interesting new anthology. Don't think I'll be able to write something for it though.
Congratulations and good luck!
Congrats on being shortlisted!
I hadn't heard of the other anthology before, so I'll take a look at that. Thanks for the heads up!
All fingers crossed for you on everything. Love the opening :)
Wow, great hook! I love that. I'm definitely intrigued. :)
Congratulations! I'm so happy for ya! <3

Aubrie, You are amazing. Congrats and Goodluck. Love the beginning to the new story. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations! And good luck with the new story - with that opening, I'd definitely keep reading.
Congratulations. That in itself is another win for you, Aubrie.
Very cool. Congratulations on the first story's shortlist, and fingers crossed for the second one. The beginning of your story sounds really engrossing, and does such a nice job of making the reader want to go on. And you're right, it's a beautiful cover.
Congratulations on being short listed.
Have you heard from BSO?
I really like this beginning. I want o read more!
Congratulations on being short-listed. Well done!
congrats on your short.
Merry Christmas, Aubrie!
Congratulations! And Happy New Year!
Great that you're short listed
Aubrie. By now you should have heard from the BSO. How could they say no to you?
I hope you get your story into Explorer anthology. I checked it out but subs have closed for this edition. I should stop by more often!
Happy New Year! I wish you every success in 2011!
Hi Aubrey! You popped into my mind just now so I thought I'd pay a quick visit. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Happy New Year! And congrats on being short listed for the anthology. My fingers are crossed for you!
Hope all's well and I'll be looking for your next post :))

Just thought I'd tell you Aubrie, a blogger called N R Williams has just released a fantasy with a flute-playing protagonist. Thought you might be interested in reading the synopsis:

She is embarking on a blog book tour today...I'm hosting her on Jan 27th.
No news yet?
Loved the beginning. I want to read more! You are awesome, Aubrie.
