I'm starting to think that OS25 is onto something. Just look at the otherwise perfect correspondence between prefixes and dab terms: There is only one prefix with two dab terms: PROSE is either (novel) or (short story).
 * TV is for (TV story),
 * AUDIO is for (audio story), including short stories read by one actor,
 * COMIC is for (comic story), including originally published graphic novels, even though there is a separate (graphic novel) for reprints
 * HOMEVID is for (home video)
 * GAME is for (video game)

This distinction was created before my time. Does anybody remember the rationale?
