This publication was distinctive in that all stories were published [[Anonymity|anonymously]], with the identities of contributing authors being normally withheld until the following issue, an arrangement intended to temporarily strip the reader of any prejudices surrounding the author's name (including popularity, gender and place of origin), and thus level the playing field for the writer.<ref name="Asimovs"/><ref>"Magazine Round-Up" by David Mathew, [[Interzone (magazine)|Interzone]] #201, November–December 2005, page 56.</ref> (Later issues did not follow this exact model.)
