This anthology is a little different because it has the four short stories, and then has multiple "chapters" afterward where the authors brainstorm, workshop, and present various drafts and edits of the work. The workshopping and brainstorming entries as "essays", but they are basically transcriptions of the Writing Excuses podcast. The various drafts and edits are listed as shortfiction because they are just that, but either different versions or "edits" versions which show what is being added and removed and changed to get to the final draft presented at the beginning of the anthology. Howard Tayler's interior art is listed as "Untitled" because it's just a spot illustration within the essay he wrote.
