Shannon Pemrick | 29 comments Hello, I hope this is possible to do on Goodreads.

Valkyries Rising is a shared author series, standalone books written by different authors with interconnecting stories. I need the following book listings created into a series:
Valkyrie Destined
Valkyrie Lost
Valkyrie Renewed
Valkyrie Restored
Valkyrie Confused
Valkyrie Condemned

And added to all the following authors:
Allyson Lindt
T.B. Mann
Sotia Lazu

Gwen (gwenbd94) | 46 comments Do these all contain characters in common, an overarching storyline, or a shared universe? It seems like they have a common *theme* (romance based on a specific type) but carry different characters/settings throughout, like a number of other multi-author romance "series" that gets commonly posted here. It looks like there's 1 or 2 sub-series that might meet goodreads' series definition, but the whole grouping i don't think does.

I'm hesitant to add them, vice fixing the series listing to get it in line with goodreads' series guidelines

for the record, the goodreads guidelines for series is:
"As a general rule, a book is only part of a series if that designation would apply to all editions of a work. To be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc.

Imprints and other unrelated collections of works (usually by multiple authors) are not series."

Shannon Pemrick | 29 comments All of these books are part of a shared author series in a shared universe that are inter-connected by an arching storyline that builds through the individual book storylines.

Gwen (gwenbd94) | 46 comments got it, the over arching storyline meets the definition, working on it now!
