I liked the first story the most. It inspired an idea for a short story to write in my mind (which I'll probably never actually get around to writing).
I'm curious to see a story about 2 characters getting married. All too often in fantasy or sci-fi writers awkwardly skip past that and I'm honestly very interested to know the marriage ritual in these worlds. I think writers are uneasy about portraying the marriage as secular or religious but I'll take it either way as long as it says something about the world.
That one's definitely on the bucket list, and I'll confess to having skipped that in the case of Gibson and Evelyn. He just sorta adopted "Blanc" as his surname after having been registered mononymously in the Force. Might actually be a fun idea for another of these anthologies. We've made our meet-cutes, let's see them get hitched!
