Forgive me if this has been discussed before. I looked for a thread but didn't see one.
My question is, if an author posts a short story on their website, but it's never been published elsewhere, should it be in GR as a book? For example: Blood Will Tell and Bonnie and Damon After Hours are both short stories by L.J. Smith set in The Vampire Diaries universe, but I couldn't find them anywhere but on her website. She actually has more short fiction there, but these were the only ones I saw here.
I know of other authors who do the same, I was just wondering what the policy was.
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.
We take abuse seriously in our discussion boards.
Only flag comments that clearly need our attention.
As a general rule we do not censor any content on the site.
The only content we will consider removing is spam,
slanderous attacks on other members,
or extremely offensive content (eg. pornography, pro-Nazi, child abuse, etc).
We will not remove any content for bad language alone, or being critical
of a particular book.
