And not doing a cut, because this needs to be seen. Which is also why it's a public post, not friends-locked.

There is something that has popped up on my flist more than once, concerning Amazon and their recent removal of sales rankings from some books. Primarily, from what I can gather, from those which have homosexual content. Among others, from what I was noticing as I went down the one post, and perusing others. Erotica also, but that would fit with their response to the question of why they were pulling the rankings.

However, it doesn't fit all of those which have had their rankings pulled. Being aimed at the GLBT community does not equal "adult content"!

This post is the first one I saw the link to, via jinxed_wood: http://community.livejournal.com/meta_writer/11369.html

That post further contains a link to an editor who wrote to Amazon and received a prompt reply, and posted about it on his LJ: http://markprobst.livejournal.com/15293.html

This is the post with a list of books with their rankings stripped, and from which of the Amazon sites they have had that ranking stripped: http://community.livejournal.com/meta_writer/11992.html

Anyway, there it is, and right now, I'm going to go do something to keep from stewing about this. Because while constructive anger is good, I am currently not gotten that far, and need to distract myself long enough to get past the first reaction and on to something more productive.

Seen on my other flist.

Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Ianto Jones   You most resemble the team's composed, sarcastic general support. Passionate but excellent at hiding it under a reserved exterior, you care deeply about people and have a hard time letting go. The downside of keeping such a tight leash on your external emotions is that sometimes you lose control and have to let it all out. Competent and hard-working, you like to be on top of things.

Shoot me. Shoot me now.

It's not that bad, Methos. And it'll be fun.

I'm on a slab in a morgue, without even my skivvies, and I'm about to be all but romanced by a necrophiliac medical examiner!

After being thrown off Alysse's yacht.

....

Oh get over it, Methos!

When she's dead.

Then Alexx would have a headless female corpse on her slab, of apparently 20, who is actually perpetually 16. For the last 2500 years. Give or take a century. I don't want to subject the dear lady to such a thing.

She'd get over it.

Methos.

I don't want to do this.

You get to attempt to file charges against Alysse.

For drowning me?

Ok, so that doesn't work. Come on, Methos! Please?

No.

Spoil-sport.

Sue me.

If you were corporeal in the same reality, I might. But there's that whole problem with being only a character in a TV show and one movie, as far as the system is concerned.

*smirk*

I'll sic Horatio on you.

*raises eyebrow*

I'll sic the baby Grissom on you.

And what is a baby Grissom?

An eight year old girl who knows more about guns than most people she meets, and hyper-focuses on anything that she can relate to guns. Including what happens when one turns a machine gun on an Immortal.

You're insane.

Thank you. Crossover. You, a medical examiner, a Watcher, and the bane of your existance. And trying to explain a dissapearing body to Horatio.

That's not my problem.

True. That's what Alexx and Calleigh get to deal with.

You're tring to become the new bane of my existance.
