I wrote a book recently, Tales Of Depravity, on lulu. I then attempted to put it on Amazon Kindle, iPad, and iPhone - and uh, it got banned for being too extreme. Has anyone ever suffered bans or censorship? I am now fighting my case and could do with some advice and support. I made petitions on change dot org fighting for our rights to speak, write, read, sell and buy what we choose. What else should I do? Other experiences and advice are much appreciated!
No. Because I know what kind of prude douches Amazon are. There are ways of getting your e-book out there without using Amazon. BDSM Diva, Midori has some real ass problems getting her stuff on Amazon and she's famous! I now see that they carry some of her books and some other people's stuff, but the Fet community encourages you to buy your books anywhere BUT Amazon. Very sorry you found out the hard way.
Thanks for filling me in Manservant. The particular book I wrote is so extreme I know it won't even get accepted at Excessica or similar. Lulu made a print version with no trouble but so far Kindle is not feasible. I found smashwords and will give it a try, unless you can recommend otherwise. I can't imagine Barnes and Noble accepting me either. Where do you suggest?
("...well, if it's just a readership that you want, you could always try posting your work in episodes on forumland..." ventured the goblin meaning well, explaining "...why, because there are increasingly more readers turning up to forumland to find what they want to read next, than any other method going, where ebooks are in decline perhaps, and yet if you write something here on forumland that pulls those readers your way by it, you'll have a head start when those publishers finally cotton on to the fact that their reader's tastes have changed..." continuing "...simply readers today want episodes with cliffhangers now, where if you think back to the victorian age and upon what the victorians were mostly reading then, you'll soon note that it wasn't books at all, so you tell me now, what did dickens and doyle write, and for whom too, then let the publishers play catch up, because you've got a readership to build up here, and a small margin of time before those publisher gatecrash here...", and with that the goblin wished well, knowing that he seemed mad to those who were still thinking in terms of ebooks, rejections, and other such bygones now)
