As many (most :D) of you will already know, the order in which to read a story series on the Archive has long been a confusing, even frustrating experience. But no longer!
Next up on our ongoing renovations to the Archive, will be Lauren inserting live links into each story file in a series, so that part one will have a link at the top to part two, part two will have a link to part three and back to part one…and so on.
To do this, we’re going to need your help to identify series. We’re looking to link:
Series by one author – e.g. Nan Smith’s Dagger series
Series by more than one author – where an author writes a series and someone else comes along with a standalone set in the same universe or an epilogue. E.g. Tank Wilson’s Future series and Terry Leatherwood’s End of the Matter, set in the Futures world.
Companion Pieces – e.g. Lynn’s Clark’s Card / Lois’ Card.
With the aid of the Archive’s Database spreadsheet, I’ve managed to compile a fairly comprehensive list of these. It would be helpful if you could take a look and post any errors in story order you find there or if you know of a series that hasn't been picked up. No need to note typos in title or author names – for our purposes these are fairly irrelevant. And, of course, only series that have been uploaded to the Archive website are relevant.
This is the first time I've attempted this sharing thing using Google Drive. On paper, it appears to be simple <g>, but...
So let me know if you have problems viewing the list.
Thanks.

Archive Series List (This link no longer functions. It was a temporary link for folk to use to add their suggestions to this list. Once the project was completed there was no more need for the link. If you have a suggestion to add now or think a series link has been missed, please email me. LabRat. )
