Random quote: "I'm not a yellow card. I don't have anything to fear." Hock Seng makes himself smile in return, thinking that she does not know how little anyone cares to separate wheat from chaff, when all anyone wants to do is burn a field. - The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

In addition to the current Author, Publisher, Series, etc. fields in each work description, I think it would be helpful to have a 'Form' field to indicate which category a work falls under, e.g.:

Novel
Novella
Novelette
Short Story
Short Fiction Collection (Single Author)
Short Fiction Collection (Anthology)
Short Nonfiction Collection (Single Author)

(As far as I know, those are all the forms currently represented in the WWEnd database, though I may have missed some, and of course there are other types of SFF-related works that might be added in the future.)
