Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments I found a series of issues of a science fiction literary magazine. Someone did a great job on this series a few years ago. Since now this is not a series according to GR rules, should this be turned into a Listopia list?
There are about 400 magazines (since 1930), including new ones. I've never worked with Listopia and couldn't find instructions. I saw that there is a limit of 100 books. How does it all work?

Renske | 12220 comments With more than 100 books you would need the help of other people who also add/vote for a part of the items. But with multiple voters it is not really possible to keep the items in a specific order, that is important to know before you start this. But if you think a list would be still useful if it is not in publication order or such, a listopia list can be an option in this case.

Tawnya | 4041 comments They really need to rethink what constitutes a "series". If the books have numbers they are a series. If the authors who wrote them took the time to number them, they are a series. It hurts no one to have them on the site. There obviously isn't a storage issue, otherwise the bots would be reined in. The whole "listopia" idea seems like the clickbait that is so prevalent everywhere.

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments Hmm.. if it is not possible to keep them in order, then there is no point in doing it. It turns out that we don't have the tools to keep the magazines in order? Not a series, the first author is Editor, and they are different... If somebody wants to find the next issue, it would be a problem.
