erastesBecause I'm not of the mind to Calm Down ("The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing") I'm still keeping an eye on the RT debacle.
Ms Stacy has been in correspondence with Dear Author and I quote her response from this page. The hypocrisy still astounds me. She states, quite unashamedly that they don't review m/m even thought they take the money for ads and don't review - although these policies don't apply to "mainstream publishers"
This disgusts me, to be frank. I would imagine that the reasons behind this are commercial, and that's understandable - Ms Stacy would no doubt explain this away by saying that the "mainstream" publishers are more likely to spend money on advertising - but doesn't that fly in the face of what she says about groups of authors advertising? And it certainly does negate her stance on m/m - for if - for example Ms Waters were to produce a m/m novel it would then be reviewed.
It's just our little books that aren't worthy of notice then.
Off for my lovely lunch in the slashy pub now.
