Lola (lolasreviews) | 41 comments The True Calling series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1401...) is no longer listed under the series by Siobhan Davis on her author page (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...).

The author brought this to my attention, but I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it. Her three other series still show up on her profile, but her True calling series disappeared. Can anyone fix this or explain what caused this and how this can be fixed?

I also noticed someone added novella's as primary editions to the True Calling series, but this is against goodreads policy, right? Are there exceptions for when novella's can be added as primary editions?

Arenda | 26447 comments I've corrected the novellas so all are marked as non-primary, according to policy.

I don't know about the author page, but I don't see anything strange on the series page. The author page can take up to 2-3 days to update after a change.
The series is there when you go to the series page by Siobhan Davis: https://www.goodreads.com/series/list...
When True Callings isn't showing up in a couple of days, the author might want to contact Goodreads Support about it.

This is also why the series stopped showing up on the author profile. The series parser gets confused when the first two primary series elements are numbered anything other than 1 and 2. Since that is fixed, the series should show up properly when the cache clears is a day or two.

Lola (lolasreviews) | 41 comments Thanks for the help! I assumed the novella's being added as primary editions caused the problems, but wasn't sure.
I see the series shows up on the author page now again, so it's fixed :).

Jared (wisthrop) | 170 comments I noticed this was happening with https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... where it is not showing up on the author page, but it does show up on the series page https://www.goodreads.com/series/list...

Fixed series will show up immediately on the series page, but take a day or two for the heavily-cached author profile page.
