    A fixup is a novel created from short stories which may or may not have been initially related. The stories are edited for consistency, and sometimes new, connecting material is written for the new novel.
    Fixups were most common in the 1950s, when science fiction and fantasy were making the transition from being published mostly in pulp magazines, to being published mostly in book form. Many authors went through old stories, creating new manuscripts and selling them to book publishers.

    The term was coined by A. E. van Vogt, who published several fixups of his own, including The Voyage of the Space Beagle.

    Other fixups include:
