As a matter if interest, how were the stories selected for the different anthologies ? is there a logical grouping ?
Depends on how you define logical

Firstly I grouped them all in alphabetical order of author's name (pen names weren't used at this stage). Then I shuffled a few around to try and get a similar word count in each volume of 30. Then, 3/4s of the way through decided it might be a neat idea to make one of the volumes F/M stories only. That screwed things up somewhat as stories got moved about or we changed the story we'd selected for a particular author so that we could get more F/M stories. Then a couple of stories had to be removed as they featured under-18-year olds, and we didn't want to incur the wrath of Amazon. Then a story had to be removed from one of the volumes as I'd moved it to the F/M volume but had forgotten to remove it from where it came from. Then there were a few general screw ups and some more reshuffling. Bet you wish you hadn't asked now...

While I'm rambling incoherently, if anyone wants to know the selection criteria for the sampler volume it was to try and get 2 stories from each of the first 5 volumes that had roughly 2,500 words.
I also have to say that overall I underestimated the total amount of work involved by about a factor of 10...
