On Fiction4All’s fascinating failed experiment in pulling erotica – and their perfect response to it
I signed up with Fiction4All as another distribution source for my stories back in April, and have been happy to get a few sales from them. They have a few domains which sound kind of “adult”, and then Fiction4All, which has a mix of everything. A few weeks ago, they sent me an email stating,…

HR Giger has passed away, age 74
According to this article, HR Giger just passed away. One may wonder what an erotica author is doing making a tribute post to the man, but his work was central to the visual styling of “Alien” and “Species”. Aside from my watching the Alien series a lot as a kid and young adult, his later…

Another erotica distribution network: Fiction4All
So, I’ve now added Fiction4All to my list of distributors. I recently saw a list of erotica distributors, and noticed that there was one I hadn’t heard of: Fiction4all.

Two online bookstores closing up shop this month, and free story updates

Business Insider has noticed Amazon’s latest crackdown
Amazon’s banning monster erotica – and Business Insider noticed When Amazon did what’s now the “crackdown before last” and removed my “Cum In Me If You Want To Live“ from Amazon), I found myself wondering why they would leave “Cum For Bigfoot” unscathed, while removing a relatively tamer piece about a time-travelling combat robot impregnating a…

Not quite dead yet, but working on karoushi…
For those who know Japanese, “karoushi” means “death from overwork”, and I’m working my way up to that point. Over the last few months, my postings here and my publishing schedule have fallen by the wayside as my day job’s workload has expanded until it’s practically eliminated the time I have for my second job or…
