My fellow Stibbonites,
I stand before you today, heart in hand, a proud and profoundly honored writer of smut whose efforts have finally received the recognition they deserved.
A certain Bond-villain-looking man’s policies at Amazon KDP have removed my book “Adventures of Alexa (Book 2): Scandal of the Forbidden Picture” from their platform in 11 countries.
Which, technically, makes me an almost worldwide banned author. Boom, baby! That’s an instant hall of fame backstage pass if ever there was one!
M. R. Stibbons banned in 11 countries... my stuff is that dirty, yes. It’s now official.
After several humorously futile attempts at communicating with Amazon’s customer support in the hopes of resolving the issue, I only got the same copy-pasted response again and again: "the content of your book violates our content policies". The nice Indian folk at CS never specified whether the "problem" was in the book’s content or the cover itself nor were they open to any discussion.
To be honest, I’ve had warmer and far more friendly and helpful chats with AI chatbots.
But judging from the fact that my book “Adventures of Alexa (Book 1): Curse of the Horny Ruby” has not be removed, I would guess that what rubbed the Bond-villain-looking man the wrong way was the cover.
In other words, the “Scandal of the Forbidden Picture” did indeed contain a forbidden picture for the moral standards of someone who is OK with the idea that a person 18 years of age can pursue a career in porn, but God forbid they have a watered-down beer.
So, not to toot my own horn, but I’m also kind of a prophet. Like the Simpsons or something…
