As far as I can tell both of those stories are perfectly valid entries on Goodreads. The librarians manual clearly includes them as valid forms of books (as "short stories published online (the format should be "ebook")" and the author has clearly made them available to the general public and they have both been shelved and reviewed multiple times. "Little Red Riding Crop" has been on Goodreads for 18 months and has over 1800 ratings. That is a serious piece of writing. "Daniel Part Two" only has 100+ ratings but still looks OK to me.
We can remove the links to the authors website and delete the uploaded ebooks if she wants but I think the records themselves will have to stay.
Hopefully we can get some other supers and staff to comment.
EDIT: this comment by Rivka seems definitive:

I will let her know--thanks for looking into it!
