Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Forums

The issue is that some of the series books are listed as SF and others as Fantasy or Horror.  On the author page or in search results they show properly because we don't filter for genre like we do on the series pages.  I'm fixing these now.  I don't know a good way to find all the ones in the DB though so if you see more please let me know.

Thanks very much for the research!  I've corrected all these on you lists.  These are relatively easy fixes - except when the genres are not clearly evident - which is part of why the problem exists in the first place.

Somebody puts in books 1 and 2 as Fantasy then the next Uber comes along, maybe years later, and adds book 3 but he or she considers the book to be Horror.  That Uber uses whatever clues they have at hand to make a spot judgement when they're submitting a book that they likely have not personally read.

I also made a run through the data table looking for inconsistencies in the genre label within a series.  I got through series starting with D and will make a few more passes and see how many I can correct that way.  I'm sure there are many more of these to find which distresses me to no end.

Well, we split the listing into genres because the list has gotten so big.  The page was taking a long time to load and it was so long that it made looking through the series a bit of a pain.  That's a big server hit too each time someone visits those long pages like "S" where we have Star Trek and Star Wars.  We may end up paginating the individual letters next to reduce the load further.

There are currently 207 SF series that start with the letter S.  That's a long page to pull up and a bit much to search through.  (If we added the other S series we'd be up to 309!) We'll probably do the pagination and dole out 25 series at a time to give us 9 pages of S series in SF.  Smaller server hits and less data since most people won't really page through them all.  As it is, when you hit the S page we're giving you everything whether you you need it or not.

With the next iteration of WWEnd we'll introuduce a bunch of sorting and filtering to the Series List so you can search through SF series by sub-genre, date of publication for the first or last book in a series, average rating range, etc. etc. so you can find something to read faster.
