Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments Hi, over time I have noticed that I seem to have two duplicate series on my author profile. I think this culminated with the series being imported/created over time. I originally created the separate editions myself and someone kindly associated it with a series then months later extra editions started appearing that seemed to originate from some automatic upload from amazon. I have tried to tidy up the relevant separate editions by combining as much as I can and I just need one of the Fusion series deleted as both series seem to be pointing to the same sets of books. Is that possible?

Thanks

Z-squared | 8575 comments duplicate deleted. where does this series fit in?

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1217...

Should it be titled "Broken Strings" instead?

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments No leave it separate, along time ago another Librarian and I decided that was best. That book relates to different characters before it was rewritten with different chars names so we decided keep separate and not associate to avoid confusion. If you want you could remove the series name completely and not have it associated with any series at all.

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments And thanks for the deletion.

Z-squared | 8575 comments i deleted that series, since it really never became a series. :P and FYI, series listings are heavily cached, so it might take a day or two for them to disappear from your author profile entirely.

do you want the Fusion series adjusted, since it doesn't really match the link on your webpage here? Or is your blog series page out of date?

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments I am just trying to make sense of what is there and then yes I will need it adjusted.

Can you first possibly remove starstruck from the remaining fusion series association, then I will combine it with the relevant new edition that seems to have come over from smashwords upload for my Fusion Prologue series.


message 7: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments I'd really rather not, since it's actually the only book in that series taht's ever been published. Why don't we adjust the series first?


message 8: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments ohhhh i guess i kinda see what's going on now. ok, removing starstruck now.


message 9: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments Ok, next question. Is Adalynn Quinn your pen name? What name was Starstruck originally published udner?


message 10: by Jo (new)

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments Basically as I started writing extra books in the fusion series I decided to do prologue stories first and used some of the book titles that I originally was going to use in the main fusion series.

so starstruck wont be in the main fusion series it was be fusion prologue 3 (due to character timelines)

Fusion and Spotlight have never been in fusion series so nothing to remove there. So those three books will be Fusion Prologues and then the remaining books in the main fusion I will renumber.

Hope that helps you understand what I am trying to do

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments It was originally published under both names. I was going to transfern over to the pen name completely but I decided against it in the end as people already knew my original name and were expecting books under that name rather than the pen name.

Z-squared | 8575 comments Here is the Fusion Prologues series page I created for you:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1313...

Because Starstruck was originally published under Adalynn Quinn, ALL editions have to have Adalynn Quinn as the primary author, even editions that will have Jo Briggs on the cover. However, you can set the new edition to be the primary (default) edition by logging on as Adalynn Quinn and following these instructions:

Z-squared | 8575 comments Ok, now for series adjustments. According to your website, there's a middle series called Broken Strings, and Starstruck is ALSO #1 in THAT series. Is that still true? Should I create a Broken Strings series for you now?


message 14: by Jo (new)

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments Okies.


message 15: by Jo (new)

Jo (jobriggs) | 38 comments No lets forget the broken strings. I need to update my webpage slightly. I decided in the long run it would be too confusing so it is simply going to be Fusion Prologues for the first three books then move into the main fusion series no inbetween series. So Muse is effectively Fusion 1, Fame - Fusion 2, Stardom Fusion 3, Limelight Fusion 4 (havent got that created yet),
A-Lister Fusion 5, Infamous Fusion 6, Celebrity Fusion 7

Z-squared | 8575 comments Great! Fusion series page looks all fixed now (and I added Limelight for you, since it wasn't on GR yet):
