Welcome!

Hello, Bob Johnston, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! John Scifibones 14:12, 5 October 2023 (EDT)

Your Page

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?105937; Is this you and did you really go 20 years before writing again or are there missing credits? --Username (talk) 15:47, 4 October 2023 (EDT)

Apart from an historical book in 2004 I had no luck getting published until I upped my output in 2020. Since then I've had 16 short stories published, 1 in limbo at the moment, and 1 due out soon. —The preceding unsigned comment added by Bob Johnston (talk • contribs) 14:07, October 5, 2023

Night Terrors: Volume 5

Thanks for entering information for this anthology. I noticed a few things that needed fixing so the information would be presented correctly:

  • Please be careful to place books in the correct series. There are a number of instances where there are multiple series with the same name. In this case, you had entered "Night Terrors" rather than "Night Terrors (Scare Street)". I've updated this for you.
  • Please be sure to clean up the Amazon image URLs as they will often have extra formatting information that is not needed for use here on ISFDB. You can find details on how to do this in the Amazon section here.
  • Also, please be sure to enter stories in the "Regular Titles" section rather than entering them as the title of the anthology. I have corrected that for this volume. You can find out more about entering anthologies (and many other types of books) by reviewing this page. There's a lot to read there, so please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for helping out! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:43, 13 February 2024 (EST)

Wyldblood submissions

I had to reject these two submissions for the following reasons:

  • The first submission was entered incorrectly. The story title was entered as the webzine title rather than as a title within the contents of the webzine. As far as I can tell, this story is not included in any of the distinct issues listed on Amazon (it was published nearly a year before issue 1), which means it does not qualify under the current policy (search for "webzine" to find it).
  • The second submission was a duplicate of the first.

If your story was included in any of the distinct issues (see the series here), we can definitely include it as part of the contents of a specific issue. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need assistance entering the contents for a specific issue of the webzine. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:00, 13 February 2024 (EST)
