Oh My Eyes! My Eyes! Say It Aint So Bitches…
Wednesday, August 5, 2009Posted in: Adventures with Blog people, Chancery Stone
Listen, I know that advertising on one’s blog is all the rage these days, but I must admit to feeling slightly uncomfortable when I saw that Chancery Stone had an ad up at the Smartbitches website.
You remember Chancery Stone, surely? She was the seemingly messed up individual who thought that incest was romantic.
Not only that, but she started that random kerfuffle on Amazon, for no other reason than to try to drum up some publicity for her self-pubbed book. I believe she ended up getting banned from Amazon eventually.
The woman even has a full Wiki page on Fandom Wank dedicated to her.
I don’t know, I guess I have my judgemental (yes, there’s an e in judgemental!) head on, but I’ve always been hugely against books that glorified incest, so to see such a book advertised on the SB’s website, was bad enough, but for the incest book in question to be penned by none other than Miss FUBAR herself, well….
Listen, the girls can advertise what the hell they want to, but I’d have thought they’d have been a bit more choosy.
But we’re all different I guess. I admit to feeling a tad disappointed by their willingness to display Chancery Stone’s wares on their website though, I don’t care how much money was involved.
Judgemental much? Hell yeah.
Edited to add: Azteclady here.
When I saw the ad late last night, I sat there in shock for a bit.
Why the shock, you ask? Because my feelings about Ms Stone and her oeuvre are pretty much the same as Karen’s and I wondered about the SBs choosing to advertise this stuff.
And perhaps shock is too strong a word–what I am is puzzled. I may be indeed doing them an injustice, and if so I apologize, but I find it unbelievable that they could be ignorant of what Ms Stone writes.
