Category talk:Publisher Continuity Series
I set up a separate page for Publisher Promotions to differentiate between them and Publisher Continuity Series, since they're two different things. There should also be a separate category for series written by a single author, which is also different than a continuity series (related stories written by different authors) or a promotion (different authors; unrelated stories), but I'm not sure what it should be called. --Leigh
- Leigh, I was trying to help straighten out the confusions, so perhaps new pages would help. Questions
- The Publisher continuity series was a category. Is that what you made the Promotions page?
- I don't know how anyone would be able to identify which series are continuity series and which are just flash. In other words, based on the information in RomanceWiki, Amazon, author pages, I can create a page for the series "Men at Work" and list all of the books that are identified as being part of "Men at Work", but I have no way of knowing if Men at Work is related stories or just about men at work. Does it matter?
- Also, for the author continuity series in the Category-type books where the series are given names, does it matter if it is listed as a Publisher Continuity series? We have a list page already called Series, also see Series (disambiguation) where I tried to figure out what we were calling different things because I am/was confused. I think that as long as these types of series are identified and CATEGORIZED as a type of series so that they can be found by the wiki-user it probably does not matter. --Kay T 14:27, 3 April 2007 (PDT)
1. Yes, I also made the Publisher Promotion page a Category.
2. I admit that I'm anal, but I do think it matters to differentiate between the Continuity Series and Publisher Promotions, just to make it clear to anyone looking up a book that it is unrelated to other books in the "series" or whether it is part of a larger story. I admit it may not be easy to tell which is which unless you're familiar with the series, but I tried to change the ones I knew about.
3. You're right, it probably doesn't matter to differentiate between author-driven and publisher-driven continuity series. But in that case (and I admit this is just me being anal again), can we just make the Category Continuity Series instead of Publisher Continuity Series to be more general and accurate? If it is just a series by one author, there's no reason to call it a Publisher Continuity Series, right? I know you did a lot of work, but I just wanted to make it as accurate as possible and there's really no reason to call, say, Evelyn Vaughn's Grailkeeper's series, a Publisher Continuity Series instead of a Continuity Series since she generated all the books and linked the stories herself.
