I already noticed this affecting my books when I was putting Dubious Cupid on freebie last week. tl:dr all erotic books are no longer eligible for referral links/Associate program. An official statement from Geniuslinks via IHS. #Booksky #romancelandia #omegaverseromance #smutsky #erotica

black text on white background that reads Geniuslinks, who had been nicer in their initial responses about the broken links, became a little defensive when I asked if this was targeting erotica. So, I went through the top ten books on different erotica charts (FF, MM, MF, etc.) and most of the time, all ten of the top books were excluded. I shared this finding with Geniuslinks/Booklinker.

Again, I got gentle pushback saying it wasn’t solely erotica that was being demonetized. Which was true, but erotica was the one getting hit the hardest. Finally, yesterday, Booklinker issued an official statement confirming what I had been telling them for weeks. This is from their announcement:

Amazon has implemented a significant policy change: product-level “ASIN” data will no longer be provided for products Amazon classifies as “unsafe.” From our initial checks, the impacted books tend to contain mature themes, including sexual and violent content.

I’ll admit, I felt slightly vindicated when I read this because there were points when I thought I was losing my mind. I kept screaming, “They’re targeting erotica!” and I kept receiving, “No, no. That’s not happening.”

Well, it’s happening.

This feels like a REALLY BIG DEAL. I personally don't buy from Amazon if I can help it, but when I Heart SapphFIC promotes my 🪐📚books, I for sure include their link. #censorship #lgbtq+ #sapphicfiction #booksky #writersky 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 How IHS is Responding to Terrifying Changes at Amazon

Emilia’s disability representation in each of these books means so much to me. I cannot recommend these enough! Each packs (ha, an OV pun! 😆) an emotional punch and so much love and support 💜 #romancelandia #omegaverseromance #mafiaromance

Text in center top reads: Disability Rep Recs. Three covers are in the center, all by Emilia Emerson. In order: Cherished, A Pack for Autumn, and His Tesoro. Background: Green with the top right and bottom left corner containing darker green blobs with wavy lines of an even darker green. Graphic made by @/opalescent4026.

They restored the lighthouse...and her heart ✨ I was eagerly awaiting this ARC, and Emilia delivered on all counts. I cooed at the cutest cat with ulterior motives, gasped (delightedly) at the outdoor DVP, and stressed over [redacted]! #omegaverseromance, #romancelandia, romance reviews, book recs
