I've edited several anthologies, and each time I do, I've placed one of my own stories in the book. Part of the reason I handle a project is A) an interest in the topic, but B) I have a story that would work for it. Yet I've noticed some editors do not do this, or will actively abstain from printing their own story in the book.
Is this merely a matter of an editor's taste/preference, or is it a faux pas for an editor to include one of their own stories?
(Of course I have someone else edit my story, to make sure that it's properly presentable, I'm just concerned about how including one of my own may appear)
