I would love to catalog and review, for example, the multiple novel- (or greater) length fanfics I've read, or include important essays and articles in shelves for guided reading curricula.

I wonder if Lists could perhaps go some way to achieving what you want. So you would have a list for the muti-work. In the description you would have your "review" of the set, for each novel in the list you can have specific notes. Within both the description and the notes you can have links to the essays and articles. Just a thought, realise it's not exactly what you want.

@gqqjhffr At least short stories can be tracked - e.g I have one I wrote and have a list "Things I wrote".

I just added it with a link to the download and made a cover for it it. The IDs are all empty of course but the other metadata like author, publishing date, etc. is filled. You can see it here https://books.jascha.wtf/book/2082/s/beyond-the-gate

This works for articles as well (if they have at least a static URL). Maybe we should introduce a Link-field for Books as well. If there is some kind of consensus I will write that code and create a pull request.
