Nick Gevers is editing it.Now, it's great PR to get people excited this early for anthology coming out in fall 2008. And I love both Solaris and the editing work of Gevers. I'm also excited about writing the story that's going in the anthology. But, at the end of the day, given that Gevers usually doesn't take any crap stories--I certainly hope not--this is a very premature announcement from a creative standpoint. In other words, at the end of the day, some of those writers may not fulfill their commitment. Others may turn in substandard work, for whatever reason. The final line-up might conceivably be different from this one.
