Hi Eric,

I can't speak for everyone here, but in my particular case, it meant that I glanced at the story this morning, made a mental note to sit down and read through it when I get more time, and then started my day including working out and then going to work. I suspect that others may be in the same boat.

Generally the culture here is pretty friendly and silence is more likely to mean 'good, so nothing to say' or (at worst) 'I don't have time to comment right now'. We have a large percentage of lurkers on the forum and the folks who are inclined to post on stories may not have had a chance to do so yet or even a chance to look at the story yet. Usually our advice for any submission (fiction or EG entry) is to allow for 5-7 days for people to post any responses they are inclined to give and then move forward from there.

Again speaking for myself, one of my hats is an associate editor of the OA ezine and I'm always on the hunt for new stories for an upcoming issue. So I will definitely be giving your story a read throughSmile I'm also one of the senior members and 'canon police' of the project, so I'll also be checking the story in that regard as well and offering advice and critiques to make it fit fully into OA if there are any issues in that regard. That all said, I'm also working to get the next OA story collection finished up and published with Amazon and that's going to be eating up a bunch of my time this week.

Basically, I'm definitely going to be reading your story and sharing my thoughts on it - but it will probably be later this week or early next before I can do soSmile

Regarding getting an OA story published in an SF magazine - Nothing would make us happierSmile

About the only 'rule' we have around such a thing would be that an attribution be given to the OA project. Something like 'this story is set in the Orion's Arm universe (www.orionsarm.com)'. Or something like that. We can definitely discuss details if/when things get to that point.

Ok, I think that about covers it. If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of the above (or anything else really), please don't hesitate to post em to the forum or contact me directly.

Thanks!

Todd
