User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-4139960-20130612191751 If a character appears in a New Adventures novel and its prelude (i.e. Love and War vs Prelude Love and War and so forth), would their "first appearance" be the novel or the preview? Is it easy to figure out which of the two were published first, or was it essentially simultaneously?
