Paxson’s anthology appearances track her involvement in the wider science fiction and fantasy community across nearly four decades. Her early appearance in The Eye of the Heron and Other Stories (1978) places her at the beginning of her career, while Stars of Darkover (2014) — a tribute anthology for Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover universe — reflects her long association with Bradley and that fictional world.
Moonsinger’s Friends (1985), a tribute to Andre Norton, and The Household of the Grail (1990), a collection of Arthurian fiction, show the specific communities within the broader fantasy genre where Paxson’s work has been most active. The Pagan Anthology of Short Fiction (2008) bridges her fiction and non-fiction interests, appearing in a collection aimed at the pagan community she has been part of throughout her career.
