Hi Kurt,
You weren't edited out of the thread... we've got anonymous comments screened right now because we have a rather vicious troll. We inted to unscreen the ones by people who aren't trolls, but obviously Ann and I somehow didn't get to it. Sorry, I'll do that now.
I would have posted about the "Skyscrapers" thing here sooner, but I was waiting for Steve to answer my request to air "Skyscrapers," and my other contest story "Silence," on Escape Pod. The good news is -- he's agreed!
And we also have what I think is further good news. We're replacing "Skyscrapers" with another contest favorite, "Stone Born" by Loreen Heneghan. I loved that story when I read it in the contest, and I think it will be amazing in the line-up.
