I guess most reviewers prefer novels. But truly, this is a really good anthology imho.
Here's a bit more if you're on the fence. This is from Katharina:"It is not an anthology by wannabe writers without skills. The stories have been selected and evaluated by Holly Lisle who is a well known fantasy author with over 30 novels in print. She also wrote a foreword.
I myself have a short story in the anthology where I worked in my (unhealthy) admiration of food. In total, there are 35 stories and most of them are YA Fantasy (two are rather dark). Some stories are funny, some heartbreaking. All are great to read, especially if you don't have much time (like on a commute).
I know it doesn't mean much, but so far everyone who read it (I mean those I know personally) gave positive feedback, not because the knew me but because they truly liked the book."
Maybe try posting it again at a later date. There's probably people that want to sign up for it, but now's not really a good time for them or something.

WITH A FOREWORD BY HOLLY LISLE
Follow a girl to the Below-World to slay the Sharkshadow, or help a timid girl to overcome the destructive criticism of her art teacher. Witness a solitary drone on Mars or a naive homunculus struggle to become human. Sew with a mother who lost her daughter in a unicorn quilt, defeat bank robbing super-villains with an unlikely superhero, or join a great mage in the fire.
In thirty-five imaginative stories, emerging authors present the diversity of their creativity. Each author found a different angle for the unifying theme: The Adventure of Creation. Witness the talent nurtured by writing teacher, Holly Lisle. For the 5th anniversary of her first big writing course, How to Think Sideways, this anthology features the best of her talented students in a great variety of genres.
eBook, 270 pages
