Amazon cracks down on monster porn

[pokerfan]

I didn't even know it existed.

But it wasn’t just Bigfoot who was herded into extinction. Wade says that 60% of her titles disappeared from Amazon and other online bookstores. "They started sending my books randomly back to draft mode" — where new ebooks are uploaded and edited before going on sale — "and I'd get an email from them saying, 'We found the following books in violation of our content guidelines,'” she recalls. “But they wouldn't tell me why. There were no specifics. It was a huge guessing game trying to figure out what the issue was."

She altered the titles of several volumes in her blockbuster series, from "Cum For Bigfoot" to "Moan For Bigfoot," and they were returned to Amazon's shelves, but now they're only seen by readers searching for them specifically. "They can still be found in the store," Wade says, "but it requires extra digging." Even more confusing, only some of her titles were flagged by Amazon, so while some books are listed as "Moan For Bigfoot," others remain "Cum For Bigfoot."

Short version: monster porn fiction: tee hee, but so what.

Amazon: ham-handed and opaque for providing a service, suddenly changing the rules with no warning and no guidelines on how to comply, plus inconsistent and inappropriate enforcement.

6. Dumb move on Amazon's part

apparently there's a real market for BigSmut.
