It was kind of weird, but enjoyable, reading Two Degrees of Separation (my first AnthologyBuilder effort). Roughly half the stories were familiar, although not always the published versions (some I saw at workshop stage). The remainder were new to me. However, I enjoyed them all. Not one dud!
Favourite old story: On the Deck of the Flying Bomb, by David Redd, first published in Interzone way back in 1982. I loved it at the time; I still do. David Redd is one of the finest British writers of short SF (IMHO). If you want to read the evidence, please consider purchasing his collection.

My favourite new story? Ouch, that's a toughie. I loved the stories by Sarah Edwards, Stephen Gaskell and Christopher Kastensmidt, amongst others, but they were just edged out by Matthew Rotundo's 'Hitting the Skids in Pixeltown', which is simply huge fun and appeals to my enduring love of celluloid (as opposed to CGI).
Two Degrees of Separation is still Nancy Fulda's 'Featured Anthology' at AnthologyBuilder. If you haven't done so yet, why not make the authors happy, if not exactly rich, and buy one?
