Background
Little is known about the circumstances or people behind the creation of Shifting Hearts. Good Mouring Publishing posted an open call for submissions to their website on December 27th, 2012,[4] additionally soliciting responses on Tumblr,[5] Reddit[6] and Facebook.[7] The call explicitly disallowed stories involving p-shifting, demonstrating some foreknowledge of community terminology and issues.[4] The post did not specify whether the authors must be otherkin or therian, and the biographies of the accepted authors do not specify any information about their personal identities.[1]
The initial open call stated that anthology would include a foreword from Lupa, author of A Field Guide to Otherkin.[4] However, upon publishing, the foreword was written by Good Mourning Publishing itself.[1]
