Anthology web series सोचिए — चार-पाँच अलग-अलग कहानियाँ, अलग writers की, एक ही series में। जो किताब कई authors की रचनाएँ ऐसे जोड़ दे, वह anthology है। जिस series में एक ही story चले, वह anthology नहीं।

Think of an anthology web series: four or five separate stories, by different writers, put together in one series. A book that does the same with writings of various authors is an anthology. A series with one single story is not an anthology.
