Shared settings, co-authorship and related series?

[KrakenRiderEmma]

Someone asked me today whether they could write a series or a side story in the same setting as my series.
I like this idea -- I've been putting together world-information not just for my own notes but thinking that someone else might want to read it one day.

However, I'd want them to be connected, so it'd be easy for readers to find their way between the different stories / series.
Is there any way on ScribbleHub to link related series together if they're by different authors?

Or on other hand, for a series to have two co-authors? I think I saw something like this in suggested features but can't figure out if there's any way to do it.

I thiiiink theres no way to do it using the official system...

BUT!

Theres this rancy dancy cool thing called the Story's description that gets more eyeballs and can do the same thing. Proof of linkage is when the two authors cross reference the other because mutual agreement is required to do that.

I think for coauthorship on one book you would just massively credit the shit out of the co author, or maybe try both of you posting instances of the work then explaining why the "blatant plagiarism" by showing its not.

or... probably better off to have one author and then have that author aggressively AN and credit the other one.

I'm all for the idea of using the story description and cross-referencing, crediting the other author extensively, etc.

The main problem seems to be... no links possible in the story description! It's the most plain-text field in an entire story :O :O
I guess you could also use Author's Notes in the actual story, first chapter, prologue, etc.
