- Each hometown is matched to its county with U.S. Census Bureau place data. A city that spans several counties counts as Area 65 if any of them is in the Area.
- Pen names, anonymous stories and stories printed without a place can’t be matched. You’ll find them under “Place not given” when you choose Everyone.
- Newest stories: the 60- and 90-day windows count from the first day of each issue, or from the day a story went online when the issue comes out early.
- The archive gathers the stories by Texas writers in the online archives of Grapevine (back to 1944) and La Viña (back to 1996); stories from each new issue join it as they come out.
