Editorial Content
The poll registered a resounding "no" on postmortem content in the book. That's cool. There was some interest in other editorial content (a foreword, or some form of "author's note" attached to the stories), but I think this is too much work to pull together. I'd considered just having a short note about each of the winning stories, based on an edited version of the postmortems, but even though all the winning entries were postmorted, the author's comments vary greatly from CRwM's annotated text to fleece's trademark minimalism to the more traditional narrative of the story-behind-the-story. So, unless anyone has any further suggestions, I don't think there'll be any content beyond the challenges themselves and the stories.
Which Stories Get Included So, my new proposal (which I'll use unless there are any strenuous objections) is a combination of fleece and 256's suggestions from the comments with a dash of Scrymarch: Taking the poll as a starting point, the winners of the WFCs (those who wish to participate) collectively decide where the cutoff point for inclusion lies for each round. If anyone who participated in the WFCs did not get a story chosen by the above means, the editors will pick at least one of their entries for inclusion as well. Then I'll take the list that comes out of this process and seek permission from the authors before finalizing the table of contents.*
