Talk:Secret Histories framing sequence (short story)

Rename
Regarding the rename tag on this page...

The TOC of Secret Histories specifically calls the linking material "Secret Histories framing sequence". I've looked at my short story anthologies, and it's extremely rare for any kind of linking material to have a title in the TOC. I did find that two stories, Repercussions... and The Dead Men Diaries, have their titles listed as chapter titles, so they are titled as given (in particular, Repercussions... includes the ellipsis, something that is not present in the anthology title).

Two anthologies, Short Trips: Seven Deadly Sins and Short Trips: Defining Patterns, have linking material with no titles in either the TOC or as a chapter heading. Therefore, they are named after the anthology.

And one anthology, Present Danger (anthology), actually has two stories listed as Prelude and Epilogue, but no other linking material, so we probably don't need Present Danger (short story), but I'll look into that more closely when I get to that anthology.

To make a long story short (too late), this story was named after the title given in the table of contents of the anthology. Shambala108 ☎  23:48, August 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * Ahh, thank you. A while back I linked to this story as Secret Histories (short story) on Bernice Summerfield, thinking of The Dead Men Diaries (short story) and Present Danger (short story). But this makes sense. Certainly, "(PROSE: Secret Histories linking material)" tells a reader more about the source than "(PROSE: Secret Histories)".


 * Also, just a nitpick, but Present Danger has more linking material than just the prologue and epilogue: it's got a few interludes. Anyways, no objections from the person who put Template:Rename on this page, feel free to remove at your leisure. CoT     ?  01:36, August 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * Re Present Danger, I didn't make myself clear enough; I didn't see any linking material during a quick flip through the pages, but I had no intention of making any changes until a closer look at the book. Shambala108 ☎  03:00, August 22, 2017 (UTC)
