- Despite the "mosaic novel" designation, each author's contribution is distinctive and individually credited within the book itself. There is no table of contents.
- The "Prologue" and "Interlude"s are not credited directly but are copyrighted to GRRM, thus implied authorship.
- "The Science of the Wild Card Virus: Excerpts from the Literature" is not credited on its title page, but is assigned to Victor Milán on the copyright page. It is a non-fact article closer to fiction than essay.
