Hi Charles! Nice to see you here.
As I recall, this was from their open call for series to be written as work-for-hire. Authors pitched a series idea and the outline for the first book and were then put under contract for the full set, or something like that. Several authors claimed that WotC had lifted their submitted series idea and commissioned an author with a more established career to do the actual writing on it.
