praying. praying for an amazon alternative that doesn't suck ass. its small beans, the issues I'm coming across, but they pester me so. "no I actually, you need to select the market" "No no not that one. Here try this other page." The other page:

its blank. its f*cking blank dude. there's no options for me to select

Temporarily and experimentally listing Psybomb Survivors, a sci-fi horror anthology, for a possible release on October 10th. Amazon would not generate further test orders, will have to attempt placing author copies and see if its up to snuff.

Week two. Amazon still fighting me every step of the way. Maybe it will let me order test copies for Psybomb survivors, so I can see if the print works out this time. Maybe it won't, and I'll have to brute force it somehow. Time will tell

Also god do I hate the word "content" not art not media not even entertainment "content" you just make a thing that fills up time or space. Interchangeable and utterly replaceable by anything that is sufficiently distracting for 1.7 seconds before they move on

I'm one of those authors who enjoys talking about my stories, why I made certain choices, what ideas I was going for, etc. (its why all my short story collections include authors notes) But I'd hate if that became the default expectation for most writers because of concerns around AI nonsense.

Remembered an acceptance from 2 years ago. Realized they never got back to me. Sent them an email, just out of curiosity. Automated answer "Domain couldn't be found" I think a whole zine imploded while I wasn't looking, the story went unpublished.
