I'm actively aiming at anthologies in various genres, to bolster my publishing credits to the agents and editors I'm querying. I'm picky, too. The anthology may not pay much, but it needs some pedigree before I'll send anything.
In the case of the Cleis KINGDOMS OF DESIRE erotic fantasy anthology, inclusion there can only help me flog my bigger mms to several sympathetic agents and six great e-publishers.
I am planning ahead though, and writing a group of linked short stories with the idea of an eventual self-published or e-published anthology relating to my longer fantasy and science fiction erotic romances. Lynn Flewelling did this with her anthology GLIMPSES, based in her 'Nightrunner' universe, and has done fairly well in reviews and sales.
