There are lots of other writers's circles we could choose to join if we just wanted to join a conventional writing group, there would be no need to create a separate one. Whereas if we can make this something that is both interesting and educational for writers on this subforum then that would seem, to me, to be ideal. But if we have to remove ourselves too much from here then it will not longer really seem like an MR anthology.

Interesting. I'd actually not thought of it that way. If I understand you, you're saying that we'd expose the detail of the review, critique and editing within the Writers' Forum. There would necessarily be spoilers that way, but later on readers could access both the anthology and the threads that show the way it developed and the choices made within the stories.
As you say, we'd need to understand the MR rules position on that. It would seem to fall foul of the self-promotion guidelines. It also seems a little beyond the stated purpose of Writers' Corner:
