We should add a story arc field with the following basic definition:
Story Arc:
* Any grouping of stories associated by some sort of title.
* Traditional story arcs, i.e. "Awesome Story, Part 2 of 5"
* Crossovers and events, whether identified by story titles, trade dress or
other emblems
* A particular story is still part of an arc if the title was left off or
inexplicably switches, but the other parts were labeled in such a way that the
unlabeled story is clearly intended for inclusion. (I can point to a bunch of
examples of this)
* A story may be part of many different arcs
* Complex crossovers may have sub-events and/or may have multi-part stories
within the crossover
* May be used to designate different levels of attachment.
* "Crisis on Infinte Earths" vs "Crisis on Infinite Earth Tie-Ins" vs "Crisis
on Infinite Earth (Red Skies)"
* There may also be a "Crisis on Infinite Earths (all)" grouping all of the
above. So a single story would be in one of the three from the previous bullet,
plus the "all" story arc.
Left undetermined at this time:
* Whether multiple arcs indicating different levels of attachment should be
tied to each other or handled completely independently. This may end up being
more of a technical implementation question, or may require resolution in a
future vote.
