Henry Bassett | 11 comments Could a series page be created with the title "Death in a Dumpster"

The entries don't have an order, but if an order is required, you can use the following:

1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
3) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
4) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
5) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
6) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Kind Regards,
Henry

These say they are "interactive fiction". Are they only available via an app or gaming site?


message 3: by Henry (new)

Henry Bassett | 11 comments They are completely within the book itself, no external sources.

Within what book, exactly? How do readers access these?

Duplicate request has been removed. To avoid confusion, please only post requests once. If a day or two have gone by with no reply, it's fine to bump your request up by responding to your own thread. (You may also wish to edit the thread title.) Goodreads Librarians are volunteers, and some requests may take some time to get a reply.

The answer to this question is still needed before we can proceed.

Henry Bassett | 11 comments Apologies for that, and I'm not too sure what you are asking in your question? The books are the books I listed originally.

If you need an external source, then as an example:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rosina-Walte...

Emily | 17638 comments Are they all on Amazon? Kindle editions are perfectly fine to add to the database. I've converted this one to Kindle.

Henry Bassett | 11 comments They are, thank you for that, Emily. My main concern right now though is, even though I've had two pretty straight forward series creations previously, why this one is causing problems to create?


message 10: by Henry (new)

Henry Bassett | 11 comments All entries are listed as Kindle Edition now, awaiting series creation.

Henry Bassett | 11 comments Just checking in on the series creation status?

Because it was not clear from your post that these were valid books. There are "books" people add that are interactive because they come from an app or game site, or are web novels. They do not have ISBNs or ASINs. Yours didn't have those, and it was not clear where the books were available. Thanks for adding more details.

I have created the series now:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/3228...
Even though you are issued an ISBN for Kindle editions, we do not use them on Goodreads. I have changed them to the ASIN numbers which are used for Amazon.

Henry Bassett | 11 comments Dear Emily, thanks for this.

Not that it affects the series creation now, but I just wanted to clarify what I meant by "interactive fiction", as this seems to be the root of the confusion.

There are no apps or websites associated with the book, but within the story itself there are reader choices (similar, but not identical, to the type where it may say "if you choose option A, turn to page X; whilst option B will lead to page Y", as an example).
