Well, it has come :o The semi official end of Summer in my little area of the world. Today we had rain, we had hail, an hour west of me they had the S word flying though the air :( . Hoping everyone else is having less seasonal weather than me! I do realize that the southern hemisphere is ramping up for Summer, and other places don't really have a winter, but seasons are a changing!

Shouldn't that be Things We Found by Dabeagle Book 2 of Things We Lost ?

Dabeagle is posting the second book under the first book.  So book 2 starts at Chapter 9 of "Things We Lost", which is why it's listed as part of the original in the Wrap Up.

I know - but then why not simply list it as Things We Lost by Dabeagle ? Why include the Book 1 part ? In fact, why is there a series name, when there is only one story ? Isn't that against GA story rules? 

I'm guessing @Dabeagle meant to make a new story, but somehow ended up posting more chapters to the old one. :unsure2:

I meant to make it a second book so that the readers who were following the first would be notified of it, but it didn't work quite the way I planned - maybe because I'd never tried it before.

If you ask @Cia  or @Myr nicely, they may help you fix the problem, if it's technically possible without losing likes and comments. It would look cool to have Things We Found as a second book.

Myr helped me get my four connected stories into one series, but they were already separate.

That is a more advanced trick that @A.J. will have to help with.  The upcoming update simplifies the Series system a fair bit.

yeah, that's what I thought might be the case. I tried to find the blog / topic where you explained how to make a series (post story two and give it a series name and no 2, and then go back to story one and name it as no 1 in the same series) but I couldn't find it. Can you post a link here ? Although, perhaps it's not necessary if the new system gets rolled out in October.
