Talk:Time and Relative (novel)

a novella, not a novel
Otherwise they wouldn't call them "Telos Novellas". --74.94.186.19talk to me 19:19, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * You've kinda got that reversed. They're called "novellas" by Target for marketing purposes, not as a statement of verifiable fact.  The problem is that "novella" is a comparatively vague term.  It is easier, as a matter of policy, to simply call everything which is published in a standalone way a "novel".  This allows us to skip over debates on every single range.  DW fiction is published at a dizzying array of page counts.  If we were to use the term (novella) for these books, we'd have to reconsider the use of (novel) elsewhere — particularly since, in terms of word count, these books aren't all that far off from the current range of NSAs.


 * The bit between the parentheses, (novel), is a disambiguation term anyway.  It's not a statement of absolute fact.  It's a way to group things that have similar qualities into a single group, so that users and bots alike can make sense of them.    19:28: Mon 09 Apr 2012
