I've been thinking a lot about indie publishing, and it hit me that while you see a lot of single-author anthologies, it's rare for me to see a multi-indie-author anthology.

A multi-author anthology seems like a great way to get a bunch of indie authors in front of an audience, and it additionally seems like a fun way to, say, get that zombie apocalypse short story out of your writing system. (Or whatever the theme is.)

On the other hand, only one person can collect the sales (I think) and you have to trust that person to distribute all proceeds fairly/correctly. So there's a logistics issue to overcome (unless the anthology is free forever, I suppose).

Would you, as an author, consider participating in an indie anthology? I think I would. POLL TO FOLLOW!
