message: I think it might look better and be easier to read if there are headings for each of the series, agree? Padishar 23:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure. I think it would also allow us to add some additional depth to each series on this page, i.e. a brief plot introduction, instead of just saying what characters are involved.  Sraan 01:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Headings

message: The listing of series is pretty much in chronological order of publication, except the Word/Void trilogy is listed second-to-last. It actually came out after First King and before the Voyage trilogy. Wouldn't it be better to place it there? I can't think of a good justification for having it where it is. I imagine it was there because it was unsure if it was Shannara's world, and then it stayed there when the Genesis series was added at the end, but it seems as if it's justification for being listed last is no longer relevant.

text: Although most fans pronounce Shannara , Terry Brooks (the author of the series) pronounces it  (with the stress on the first syllable, which has the same vowel as 'cat'), as evidenced in this interview, near 08:22: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztu3Xj3UuMo&feature=youtu.be&t=8m22s. However, he has publicly stated (for example, about 1/3 of the way down the page here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/1a3261/i_am_terry_brooks_author_of_the_shannara_series) that he doesn't really care how people pronounce the names in his books. I went ahead and added the correct pronunciation to the article. Andrew John Bayles (talk) 18:25, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  The 2016 TV series seems to opt for . Given that it's canon, should the pronunciation here be changed or the variant added? Tbfhhvuv (talk) 22:26, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: Do we really need a seperate section here, seems like we could merge it with the list of novels section, maybe a small paragraph about the family is warranted but do we need to outline how the family is involved or not in each book? Especially when we would do that anyway in a good book summary section. Nowimnthing (talk) 20:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I hear no objections I will merge, please converse here before doing blanket reverts. Nowimnthing (talk) 13:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I have/had no objections; therefore, there should be no blanket reverts. =) Sorry for forgetting to leave a message back. the_ed17 22:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Shannara family section

message: As the subject states, the chronological listing of the novels is missing the short stories and the graphic novel.  Of course, once they are added, the name of the section might need to be changed from "Chronological List of Novels" to show that it includes those missing items.
Paladins of Shannara 01 - Allanon's Quest is an e-book short story set directly before The Sword of Shannara.
Paladins of Shannara 03 - The Black Irix is an e-book short story set soon after The Sword of Shannara.
Paladins of Shannara 02 - The Weapons Master's Choice is an e-book short story set sometime before The Wishsong of Shannara.
Indomitable is a short story published in the anthology Legends II, set a few years after The Wishsong of Shannara.
The Dark Wraith of Shannara is a Graphic Novel that shows part of the events of Indomitable, along with a continuation of the story.
There are two other short stories, according to the main Terry Brooks article:
Walker and the Shade of Allanon (Spring 2013) (short story published in Unfettered: New Tales by Masters of Fantasy -  This short excerpt is more of a deleted scene than a short story, and takes place during chapter eight of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara 01: The Ilse Witch.
Imaginary Friends (1991 & Spring 2013) (Word/Void short story published in anthology Once Upon a Time: A Treasury of Modern Fairy Tales, re-published in Unfettered: New Tales by Masters of Fantasy.-  Hmm, having JUST NOW read this story, I'd say it shouldn't be included in the chronological listing.  It's not a Word/Void story per se, but rather a short juvenile adventure story that shares elements from the later Word/Void works.  Terry Brooks described it as a prototype to the Word/Void trilogy. 24.253.192.189 (talk) 22:41, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

This series would qualify.  Anyone care to add it?  Tamtrible (talk) 01:07, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
