This was quite a diverse issue, and even the tales that weren't quite my taste were enticing enough that I read all the way through. My favorites were:

"The Queen of the Peri Takes Her Time" by Corey Flintoff, a fantastic example of ancient mythology made current and fresh.

"The Adjunct" by Cassandra Rose Clark is a joke story seriously told.

"Broken Wings" by William Ledbetter, I must say, I was biased toward because I read it in early form, and it was great to read it again. ( )
