We're about to embark on Day 3 of #bbcawdio and here's our story thus far. Thanks for contributing and join us 9 AM EST for Scene 7.
First line:
Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the hairbrush, smiled & said, “We don't love you anymore.” (Posted by Neil Gaiman, @neilhimself)
Scene 1:
The girl in the mirror speaks ominously to Sam of a promise once made to “them.” Sam tries desperately to remember and a memory flickers of a devil’s bargain she once made—the same day her brother disappeared. Then everything fades as Sam slips through the mirror into another world.
Sam wakes up in darkness on the other side of the glass. She’s only able to look on in horror while her mirror twin slips into her place in the world. Even her own mother doesn’t seem to recognize that she has been replaced by a substitute. As she begins to succumb to fear and panic, a voice in the darkness stops her. There’s a mysterious puppet speaking to her. The puppet suggests that the way out is not through the mirror and that it’s Sam’s own fault that this is happening. The puppet also tells Sam she is nothing more than a puppet herself in some ways, even making her dance as if she were on strings. It warns Sam that time is passing and the more she lingers, the more danger there is of her mirror twin causing unspeakable harm in Sam’s world. But it offers help—of an enigmatic sort. Unable to do much else, Sam follows the puppet further into this dark world.
Scene 3:
Sam is trying to piece together where she is and what is happening. She has a faint memory of the day she made the promise to save her brother’s life. But it is elusive and fades before she can truly remember much. Suddenly the darkness gives way to light, as Sam finds she’s in the middle of a glittering city. It is a curious place, seemingly made of wood and wax, with many towers. She looks around and realize she is alone. Scared and confused, Sam searches for a way out, only to hear an eerie voice taunting her with an insidious rhyme. She runs to escape the voice to the nearest tower, but before she can gain entry, a loud cracking noise echoes from behind her.
Scene 4
A mysterious little man pulls up in a horse and carriage with a wagon full of shiny trinkets. He demands that Sam provide a trinket for admittance to a party thrown by Her Most Excellent Collector of Things. Unexpectedly, Sam finds a strange green egg in her pocket that glows and pulsates. She tries to offer it as payment but the man, a delivery man named Finnegan, tells her to put it away and keep it a secret. He drives her into the castle walls and past the guards to a golden staircase. Then Finnegan says she must go on alone. He also tells her that if she gets in trouble she should rub the egg three times and gives her a mysterious key that he says may come in handy in unlocking something important. He drives off and Sam faces the staircase.
Scene 5
Sam ascends the stairs to find a lavish party with a feast and music and dancing. In the midst of the ball, is a striking woman with green eyes and raven tresses and a blue velvet gown. The woman knows Sam’s name—and she knows her brother! She’s the one who collected him. They retire to the Queen’s parlor and she goads Sam into remembering the day she made the promise, the day her brother disappeared. Sam and her brother had an accident in the garden and the Queen had appeared as a mirror reflection. Sam had promised to go to the Queen’s world if she would save her brother but then she broke the promise and the Queen snatched the boy. Now Sam discovers her brother is still alive. She and the Queen have a standoff: the Queen wants Sam’s magic egg before she’ll give up her brother. But Sam doesn’t trust the queen and she rubs the egg. Darkness takes hold once more…
Scene 6
When Sam came to, she was in a room full of puppets. Suddenly she heard her brother’s voice calling her. She searches the room but doesn’t see a boy. Then one of the puppets speaks, demanding the egg! He uses her brother’s voice, but can it really be Bobby? Sam can’t believe it, but the puppet tricks her and steals the egg, which he says is a heart, and runs off with it. Sam chases him and the heart begins to pulsate and smoke. Suddenly a giant stuffed toy badger appears and chastises the puppet, knocking him down. The egg falls and Sam grabs it. Sam asks the badger if he knows what the egg is: Could it truly be a heart? The badger grins and tells her it’s not just any heart, it’s the Queen’s heart.

Hey when this goes to print/air will all the contributing authors be acknowledged or just twitter users as a whole?

It seems to be a certain set of twitter folks are picked often, I wouldn't call the process biased but it seems a bit unfair.
At least half the entries do come up as one shot twitter entries to be fair in that case.

I am loving this story. I would love to contribute (thanks for the shout-out on twitter this morning for new people) - but I can't get any of my replies to work. Not one has shown up. I am using the @BBCAA Your Tweet Here #bbcawdio format, but... nothing. Any suggestions? I would love to contribute to this story. I find the whole thing extraordinary.
(my twitter account is @hzundel if that is any help at all)

Crystal: Yes, we'll reference all the twitter handles used in compiling the story. Not sure how yet...definitely here on the blog, maybe on a cover if there is one. It will likely be a podcast first.
Ian: There is a core group of people who have really embraced this project and seem to be frequent posters and are able to sort of keep up with the story a little better than others perhaps. But we try to include as many new people as we possibly can, as long as the posts make sense for where the story is at the time.
Heather: I did a search for your username and I do see your entries coming up. They are posted correctly. Just keep trying. We try to look for new people to include tweets from whenever we can, but sometimes the story has moved on or a post is too repetitive to something that's already happened. It's not a perfect science unfortunately, we're learning as we go! Keep bearing with us!

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, and I definitely prefer Target to Walmart. Boycott Target? Yeah, I heard about it, of course. I'm not playing though, even though I'm not terribly fond of Target because a lot of their stuff is the same old junk Walmart has. That being said, I agree with you, there IS political bandwagon-hopping going on, if you ask me. I'm all for a good cause or a good boycott, but come ON.canlı sohbet

I think Hugh Hewitt is brilliant on many, many things, but this Target nonsense is a little silly. I mean, does anyone REALLY care if Target doesn't want the ringers outside? I prefer to give to charity--yes, including the Salvation Army!--on my terms, not as a result of an (admittedly passive) ambush. I'm glad to not have to embarrassingly pass by without dropping chump change in their buckets.
