Random quote: "I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own self-story. Fiction, because it is not about someone who lived in the real world, always has the possibility of being about oneself. " - Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game)

I can't seem to find Sold For Endless Rue - Sarah Porter. Are you sure you got the right author? Can you provide me with a link?

Sold for Endless Rue is by Madeleine E. Robins.
Sarah Porter is the author of The Lost Voices series and Vassa in the Night.

The Robins novel is considered non-genre by ISFDB. Strikes me as historical fiction.

Based on what I've read on Amazon and GoodReads now, I would agree. It's a re-telling of Rapunzel, but does not appear to actually have any magic or fantasy elements to it.

Location: New Zealand		Ahh, you are right. Sorry, wrong author. I was going through so many books at the time that I messed that one up.

I suspect you are correct about Sold For Endless Rue. I had my doubts, but thought the fairytale aspect of it might work. I will let you know if it fits once I have read it.

These ones, however, I hope fit

The Root by Na'amen Gobert Tilahun - Urban Fantasy
Strange Life of Ivan Osokin by P D Ouspensky - a Russian 'Replay' type story
Graynelore by Stephen Moore - Fantasy
Tales From the Nightside by Simon R Green - short story collection in the Nightside series
Before 12:01 and After by Richard A. Lupoff - Short Story collection containing SF, Fantasy and Horror. 12:01 was the short story that got made into the wonderful time travel movie of the same name.

21,000!!! Well done!

There are two short stories/ novellas by Cherryh that are prequels to her Foreigner series: Deliberations and Invitations. I'm not sure they can be added here as I think they are only available through the author's website-but thought I'd ask.

There are about as self-published as they come. ISFDB doesn't even list them. I'm going to say no to these for now.

Location: New Zealand		There is a book published this month called "Five Stories High". It is an omnibus of five novellas as follows:

Maggots by Nina Allan
Priest Hole by KJ Parker
Gnaw by Tade Thompson
Skin Deep by Sarah Lotz
The Best Story I Can Manage Under the Circumstances by Robert Shearman

I am wondering if these novellas can be added, either separately or in the omnibus edition.

Also, due to be released on 20 December is a new novella from Alastair Reynolds, The Iron Tactician

Speaking of Sarah Lotz, can we also get the sequel to The Three, it is called Day Four.

These are fine; they both have paper editions, and have both been added to the DB.

Will this mean adding new entries for these two publications to include them in the SF Masterworks list?

Well, hell.  I hate when they do stuff like that.  Sure, we'll add them in as a new series to differentiate them from the Fantasy Masterworks series we have already.  I do like the new covers.  It gets weird when those who have read the books will have to decide for themselves if they'll mark these are read too or only tag that other set or the individual books etc.
