Published stories are favourited by @blueberrio as they appear.
May was a quiet month for publications but ended with work in a new (old) medium. Early on there was an entry for the @cmp_ny #vss contest that tied for honourable mention (nearly won a Kindle): Communication Method. There was a robot story, a hockey story, a Poodle Shortage, a killer hummingbird swarm, and an acceptance at Monkeybicycle for my one sentence story Prey.
I also had an aphorism (from a tweet) made into a poster for the awesome Signs of Affection project. "Apply, submit, try. Chance becomes opportunity" is as much about the poster itself, as it is private encouragement to each viewer. It's been postered in Leeds, and copies are in the mail for me to put up in Vancouver. Exciting!
As ever, to see stories as they're published follow @blueberrio favourites.
I'm having technical issues that Tumblr support can't seem to solve, and will shift everything over here to Posterous. I'm not in a big hurry, though, since you can still browse the archive as is. I just can't log in to update, but that's not your problem.
Enjoy the stories! Would love to hear feedback about your favourites.
