So does that mean we have come to the decision that Exit West and Universal Harvester can go into the database?

Hi, there! Can you add Seanan McGuire's new Subterranean Press novella, Final Girls?

I also wondered if the shorts from the Tor.com International Women's Day event would be added to the database at any point. http://www.tor.com/series/nevertheless-she-persisted/

Back on the 23rd I asked for Exit West (Mohsin Hamid) and Universal Harvester (John Darnielle). There was some discussion about their eligibility, and Admin was asked and agreed they were eligible to go in. However, since then no one has actually put them in.

Can someone put them in please?

The Mira Grant novella is in.

I have been looking at those International Women's Day stories. They are all very brief pieces so I was hoping Tor would bundle them into an anthology of sorts. They have done something like that on two earlier occasions. It doesn't look like it is happening though.

We could just make one entry for them, and hyperlink each story in the TOC. I could whip up a cover for it.

This thing has a lot of editors. Maybe it would be better just to list the authors instead.

Yeah, I debated that. I wasn't really up to entering the 3 editors which aren't yet in the DB (they are usually novel and novella editors, rather than anthology editors).

Feel free to change it to Authors instead, or I can do it tomorrow.

I tried but ran into a database issue. Moving the discussion over to the uberuser forum.

Since this is an anthology we only list the editor - not every contributing author.  In this case it's not even a real book and there is not a single editor to give the credit to so I've assigned the "editor" as Uncredited. That seems the cleanest method to me.  All the authors are listed in the synopsis with the story titles and if you'd like you can link their names to their author pages there.

FYI: That last big batch of books put us over 23,000 books in the DB! Well done to everyone for all the great requests and a special thanks to our Ubers for giving us so much of their time and effort.

I added some Pullman for you. ISFDB lists The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ as non-genre. Going to look into that one some more. The rest is in.
