SOTO wrote: There has been talk in the past among some of the admin about merging TV/WC/HOMEVID into just TV or VID, as nowaday's there isn't much of a useful distinction (Night of the Doctor and Class being perfect examples of why). We have just AUDIO for anything in audio format; not AUDIO and RADIO. I see no reason to give short stories any sort of special treatment.

When we consolidated the prefixes back in 2012, we had in mind to have the fewest possible number of prefixes, so just one for every medium.

I agree, PROSE covers all quite nicely.

Also, SOTO's idea of merging TV/HOMEVID/WC would be cool. It'd be a lot easier than now, and it'd follow other disambiguation terminology for stories.
