The stuff I liked best was open-ended, inviting more stories and adventure. Or, at least, was set somewhere that I wanted to know more about.
"The Lady of the Amorous City" mashes together two flavors nobody knew would be great together: .
"The Bubbcat", a rare cyberpunk for this magazine series, combines a weirdly unsettling yet horribly plausible near future of unstable currencies, rampant terrorism, and decayed social institutions with a straight science fiction / thriller concept whose premise and backstory is only nibbled at. The 'bubbcat' itself is a McGuffin that participates in its own story, and while it motivates the other characters in obvious ways, the surroundings that would explain its existence are absent and completely irrelevant.
"A Suit of Haidrah Skin" is science fiction in the guise of heroic fantasy, with the trope of a set of ingredient gathering quests before the assault on the wizard's castle. The protagonist impresses not just by fighting prowess but her sheer determination and fortitude against weird adversity.
