0.5, 1.5, 3.5?

[Pamela]

Hi, I would just like to ask what the policy is for novellas/short stories? Most of the time there is none or just one in between full-length novels. However, when there is more that one in between full-length novels, do we name it as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.? Or 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, etc.?

x.5 if there is just the one. More than one gets more complicated...

E.g.

1 Book 1
1.5 [Novella set after book 1]
2 Book 2

0.5 and similar are for definite prequels. Some have more than one place, especially where there is a Reading Order and a Chronological Order which don't match.

Pamela,

That is how it is often done in practice. You can see an example of that in the Dresden Files series. It is not codified though.

Ah, I see. Just one last question! Can I add stories from Wattpad on Goodreads? (even if it's just a poem that's already been completed?)

A poem is not a book (not unless it's an epic poem). But longer Wattpad ebooks can be added. If they are complete.

Ok, thanks! :)
