Previous publication

Evidently "Free Four" was published in print October 2012 at latest, in the Collector's Edition of Insurgent. See Talk:Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene.

Contents

second of two new sections posted at once -P64

Apparently relying on Amazon, data entered this week, ISFDB catalogs the collection contents as four novellas.

The U.S. Library of Congress has a catalog record without yet so much information.

Recently I used that as a source in the Divergent (novel) lead, which creates a little work to be done after this book does appear.

Three exclusive scenes

edit

Nominally this article is about the July 2014 print edition. At the end of the lead we say that it "also features three exclusive scenes"--not previously published in e-editions, I suppose that means. What are their titles and how long are they in the book? Are they "scenes" in the sense that "Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene" is a scene retold from another perspective?

Actually these three scenes are totally new scenes never mentioned in original Divergent trilogy. "Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene" was already present in Divergent (novel) but only difference is that it was from Four's perspective here instead of Tris. As for the title, they do not have any new title because they are not long scenes but two to four pages maximum.--Jockzain (talk) 18:20, 5 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

E-book / Print

edit

I'm confused as to why the article describes them as 'e-Book short stories', when they've also been printed as a physical book. Surely they're just 'short stories', how does is the medium an inherent property of a story? You wouldn't find other articles listing an anthology as 'physically printed in books short stories'.121.73.221.187 (talk) 10:21, 9 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
