1. Published separately
2. Published online as a specified short story (i.e. not a 'bonus')
3. Complete flash fiction
Not retained:
1. Short stories only published in an anthology - merged into the anthology
2. Deleted scenes
3. Bits only published at the back of an edition of the book they refer to
4. Incomplete and in progress works (this is different from "forthcoming" works which are considered completed but as yet unpublished).
Bonus is a misnomer in some ways I guess. Hope that helps some. Will edit this if I'm wrong / corrected :) "
Currently using this guidance to help determine what stays in the database and what does not. For discussion, see here.
