I read a lot of fan fiction and a number of FF authors have accounts on multiple site. Thus if you are not careful you can end up with multiple copies of the same book from 'different' authors.
In a previous MR thread on Author Pseudonyms there was a suggestion to use an Alias to manage them. (Sorry but I didn't bookmark the link). This has worked out very well for me.
What I have done is:
1. Use an Alias for each author with multiple names.
2. Use a Column Icon on the Author column to indicate that a particular author has an Alias.
3. Create a Custom Column to contain the author's alias. Be careful here, the first time I did this I forgot to inset the standard author name if there is no alias.
4. Use a Metadata Plugboard to replace the Author with their Alias. This keep all books from the same author together on the reader.
I can include the templates, if anyone is interested.
