Can you tell me why there are 11 views so far but no takers?

You know we do this for free, right?

[Chele]

Yes, and I appreciate it. I just noticed that it was skipped over for later posts. So since I'm not familiar with all the Librarian rules, I wondered if I was asking for something against the rules.

And I did notice you just wanted to post an unhelpful comment instead of helping out like Arenda.

Thanks Arenda. I appreciate it :)

Not only are all our Goodreads Librarians volunteers, they vary in ability and interest in various types of librarian issues. Some may have passed on this because they were uncomfortable creating a new series page, for example, and left the request for a librarian who is comfortable doing so.

Plus non-librarians may look at threads out of curiosity.

Thank you rivka and lethe. These type of comments are helpful. I wasn't demanding an immediate page to be created. I wanted to know why my posts were viewed but no responses given. I wasn't criticizing just curious.

Could someone create a series for The Brie Series

1) Brie Learns the Art of Submission
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

2) Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

3) Brie Masters Love in Submission
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks so much! ~Red

#10 The first two are already part of a series, namely:

Brie series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/8432...
and
After Graduation series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/9641...

Where does Brie Masters Love in Submission belong? There is already a book 3 in the Brie series.

FWIW, I looked on my tablet, where I can't do librarian edits but I can join discussions or answer questions. The thread title looked like a question about the series page itself. As soon as I saw it was a request to create a series, I moved on.

The novellas have been put into series, yes, but not the three novels who belong in a group by themselves. Thanks!

[lethe]

I don't understand. The first book was added as Brie #1-9: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The second as After Graduation #1-8: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

If they have the same contents as the novellas, why create yet another series? They are all the same universe.

The novels are for people who don't like serials, lethe. My fans and I would deeply appreciate if the novels were taken out of the serials and put in their own separate series (The Brie Series) like they are on Amazon. Also, the first serial should be called Submissive Training Center not Brie. I would love if you could make those changes for me. Thanks! ~Red

Red, that's not how series work on GR. The novels should be in the same series as the serials because they have the same content, that's how it works.

We could certainly create a series containing the novels, but all the serials will be in that as well, with part # numbering.

I guess it's up to you if you additionally want to retain the existing "sub" series independently, some authors do when writing multiple series within a larger universe.

Here's a series consisting of serials collected into novels, exactly like yours. It's absolutely crystal clear how each book, serial part or novel, relates to each other book, and to the series as a whole.

Krazykiwi, I love that example. That would be great for Brie. I know it would be a lot of work on your part, but that would be lovely to have the novels first and the serials in order underneath. ~Red

PS - We would need to add The Collaring Ceremony as 8.5 for After Graduation.

Thanks again! ~Red

[lethe]

Uh, Krazykiwi, would you be willing to take this on? You have more experience with this than I do :)

[Krazykiwi]

It's not that much work, it's just a bit fiddly, and will look like an unholy mess until it's all done. So if you don't mind, I'll take a shot at it tomorrow when I can do it all in one go (which isn't to say someone else mightn't beat me to it, one of the great things around here is we're all on different timezones.)

Thanks to both of you for your help! ~Red

There's some titles need adjusting, but to save having to possibly do that more than once, can you please give this a quick look over Red? Mostly did I miss any, and are they all in the right order (that's a lot of books!)

A couple of last questions: Do you like having the serials also collected in sub-series (in which case, book 3 is missing, and I'll add it)

Secondly, if you do like that, on the serial parts, do you want those to have their sub-series first, novels second?

This is a bit complicated to explain the difference, but look at the display of the "other books in this series" down the right hand side for Book 1
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (This has the "main" Brie series first, the serial second)
vs the first serial
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
which has the serial sub-series first, and the main "Brie" series second.

FWIW, this is the way I'd do it, figuring people reading the serials want to see which serial part is next, people reading the novels, not so much, but I don't always get it right :)

Krazykiwi, this looks great and you are right, it is a lot of books! (The only thing I noticed is that Brie's Russian Treat and Brie's Montana Dreams need to be switched.) I am unsure why the last one, Brie Lives her Fairy Tale does not show (Submissive in Love, #8) in the title.

I do like having the serials collected in sub-series and you are right that the third novel will need to be added to the Submissive in Love serial.

I like the sub-series first with the novel last. :) You truly took on a monster and made it easy for my fans and new readers to understand.

Thank you so very much! This is brilliant. ~Red
