Diablo Series - It's turning into a hot mess.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*]

Ok, I was working on something for my group with this series.

That's I realized that books in the series weren't in the series listing. I'm trying to get them all but I'm confused as to the order of the books.

Also, who is the [listed] author of this book? Diablo III: Book of Cain
I show the author listed (separated) as A) Deckard Cain (fictional character in game/book) and B)Richard A. Knaak.

Add to this the fact that the combine is going batshit crazy and I'm getting lost.

Anyone familiar? Please help?

i'm not certain what to do about the series pages just yet, but i've combined/merged the various diablo III: book of cain editions under the correct author, Richard A. Knaak.

You're my hero!

I just added another - I'm still working on it. Diablo III: Book of Tyrael

The data is so.messed.up.


:(

yeah, i started working on the book of tyrael, too. had to do some sleuthing to find out the real author's name.

if you run across any other weird editions/wrong authors/duplicates that need merging, i can fix those. but i just dont know enough about the series themselves to do anything, unless you specifically tell me what to do. let me know if you need more from me!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*]

The data is so bad.

Gosh.

TBH, most of the books are out there in space. I found as many as possible but damn...

Would you mind helping me with StarCraft?

I see 3 different series for StarCraft - I was *thinking* that they should all be under a single series with sub-series like Diablo.

What do you think?

Starcraft: Ghost Series - https://www.goodreads.com/series/5971...
StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga- https://www.goodreads.com/series/5971...

i think keeping those series as-is is more in line with GR policy. if you wanted to create an ADDITIONAL series that incorporates the entire StarCraft universe, with something in the description saying so, that would be better.

That's what I meant. You just said it MUCH better. :)


ETA: IDK. Everything is such a hot mess. I don't want to make it worse.

i guess it depends on how useful you think that series would be for other goodreads users balanced against how much work it would take :P

I'm a [little] OCD.

But that's more than I can chew right now. O_O

I think I'll back off and let it simmer. lol!


Thank you SO MUCH for your help!

[Z-squared]

haha no worries. if i wasn't a [LOT] OCD, i wouldn't be a librarian!

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*]

lol! TBH, I think we all are.

And i just might be a little more than a little OCD...but that's between me, you and my book collection.


:-D
