More Launch Day Celebrations

[erastes]

The Lovely Frisbiskit has posted a wonderful Launch Day Celebration (so apt now, as WE’VE WON – and Alex’s Captain’s Surrender has now even appeared on Channel Four News – 8 mins in!!!!)

It’s a conversation between Alex and myself, and I hope you enjoy it, we did it over IM and had a lot of fun doing it.

Please pop over and join in – I’m drinking so who knows what I’ll be up to.

CELEBRATIONS PEOPLE!!!!

I went to the garage for Cava, and you know what? The young man behind the counter had the temerity not to know what I was yammering on about!  What????

Yay! AND they mention the online petition with 'over 10,000 signatures', too!

Cheers!

The young man behind the counter... youth. ah, they are WEAK. Or perhaps you should have said "bubbly".

Raising my glass of Rueda in your general direction! :D

*LOL*

NO NO - he knew what Cava was. But he didn't know what Amazon Fail was!!!

Ah, I see. But that's hardly surprising, is it. Part of their hedonistic emo condition, isn't it, this not-knowing. *feels old and toothless*

That's great news.

And you've just reminded me why I don't watch C4 news - the report at the beginning of that video was NOT something I wanted to see/hear just before bedtime, thank you very much.

I didn't see anything before 8 mins. Sorry hun!

Ohhh I was busy and forgot the POMPOMS! Since I haven't got pompons, have virtual gogo dancers (not me, really, you souldn't want me) and some happy bouncing clapping Launch day congratulatory .. uhm .. blobs? ;-)

aw thanks! :)

No need to apologise. They just managed to dwell on a personal squick of mine - you weren't to know. I'll just have to watch something nice to clear the image out of my head before I attempt to go to sleep.

Happy release day! As heinous as Amazon's move was, it has garnered tons of publicity for GLBT books in general and yours and Alex's in particular. From even the darkest clouds, we can find silver linings! Many, many, many happy sales!

Oh, I just got my email response from Amazon. It was the "embarassing and ham-fisted cataloging error" form letter.

Calling a homophobic policy 'family-friendly' deserves a mud pie in the face, but -- !!!

I'm starting to wonder if it was some dominionist asshat at Amazon.. if so, hopefully s/he will be filing for unemployment in the immediate future.

It did help hugely - the sales have spiked and we are at the top of the gay fiction (not even romance) tree and both in the historical lists too which is great.

Yes, that seems to be a statement they are sending to everyone.

I hope the person who sent Mark that original email is sacked, that's for sure.
