Short stories[[edit source]]
Er, I'm just wondering what the procedure is for categorising short stories of various kinds - particularly what prefix to use when referring to short stories published in places like Short Trips (both BBC and Big Finish versions).
The BFA prefix doesn't seem appropriate for the Big Finish version as that appears to specify audio stories only (which these aren't) while using PDA/EDA for the BBC collections implies the short stories are the same kind of thing as a novel (which seems unsatisfactory to me for all sorts of reasons).

- you'd have to go and change the prefixes individually.
- as far as the prefix, we have done that on the fly with no set procedure. I would just go with ST myself, as the DW would seem somewhat redundant.
