Michelle | 386 comments Are these non-fiction books that talk about a variety of different games in each edition, maybe about the game storyline or instructions or something like that?

Other than the common "theme" of being about games, I don't see any characters or storylines they have in common or that overlap, which is what GR requires for something to be a series.

I think the series page should be moved to Listopia instead, but I wanted to ask in case I misunderstood.

Ал Торо (al_toro) | 21 comments These are magazines that include articles and news about interactive fiction, as well as half a dozen short gamebook stories per volume, some of which are series and continue from one volume to another.

The community loves being able to immediately jump from the page of one volume to the page of the entire "collection", I am not sure whether Listopia offers that and what advantages that approach offers to the Goodreads users, which seems most important to me.

Consider removing the Fighting Fantasy series or Choose Your Own Adventure. These are so emblematic, that are always talked about as series and are defined as such in Goodreads - this "brand" strongly dominates over the different topics and authors under it. It would be a sin not to have them conveniently marked as such, although they are not "series" in the Goodreads terms. The fans really prefer it that way. It is the same as the magazine I've added here in Bulgaria.

Thank you for your time regardless the final decision, we respect your effort and competence of making Goodreads a better place for literature fans!
