Amazon FAIL.

I am, oh my God, so angry at Amazon right now. Here's the Publishers Weekly article all about it. Basically: they have removed all "adult" titles from their sales rankings. That's not just erotica, but anything with any queer content at all.

They say it's a glitch. I would like to believe them, but they're clearly lying - they wrote emails about this. Someone, somewhere, made a policy decision. It's insane. And it's happened on the UK site, too, in breach of anti-discrimination law.

I'm so angry!

I won't be buying from Amazon again, is the upshot. In fact they are just about to get removed from my bookmarks. I guess Play, Borders, John Lewis, and online second-hand bookshops are getting my business from now on. Because this sucks.

And at some point I should really make a post on my writing blog about why.

The Gay Agenda

[personal profile] invisionary made the most wonderful post on The Gay Agenda which I think you all should read. Yes - you. I think it's fabulous and very, very true.

Yay for finding new people on Dreamwidth and having them be smart and cool! Clearly DW is made of win. As is the [community profile] dreamchasers comm from which I am stealing new friends all the time.

But, yes. You should all read that post.

For those interested in m/m sci-fi stories.

It's Jordan Castillo Price's birthday today and she's giving away her first Psycops novel, Among The Living, for free. I haven't read it yet, but have been wanting to try it for ever as my housemate [personal profile] ephemera recommends it to the stars. I have already downloaded and will be most interested to read it!
