Hello, World.

I'm trying to work out if it is reasonable to update my own record and if so, how to actually add short fiction.

If you are a published author of applicable genre works, then you are welcome to add your own publications. Please note that while we are pretty liberal on what we include, it does need to meet our inclusion criteria. Short fiction is added by adding the publication in which the short fiction appeared and including the short fiction within the publication contents. The help pages referenced in the welcome message above will provide instructions. The ISFDB has a number of conventions and it can take a bit to become familiar with all of them. I encourage you to read through the help. Also, feel free to ask questions (either here in response to this or if a new topic you can post questions at the ISFDB:Help desk‎). -- JLaTondre (talk) 22:29, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
