There's nothing wrong with some teautiful bitties, but if you ask for a book of bedtime stories to read your kid, and the store clerk points you to "Daddy Incest Volume #3," then there's a problem. That's what's going on here. And it is a problem.

that's a problem with the *store* or *storefront*, not the book's content.

and it's not an online store's job to censor for a foreign government, either.

for readers of erotica, visit http://storiesonline.net/ (link nsfw, but that should be obvious, in context here) for free stories, nearly all readable for free via web browser... while a site subscription nets you downloadable versions, including in ereader compatible epub format. and no, they don't accept paypal either (the site previously went through the same fiasco with paypal vs 'adult' content) but they do take regular credit cards and mail-in payments. not all stories on the site are 'erotica' -- among those that aren't, i recommend 'greenies'.

Mars gets it right, too bad it won't be free until 2146.

read "Greenies", by Al Steiner. A 500,000 word political/sci-fi novel that is frighteningly accurate in its depiction of what this planet is turning into.

(while the author is known for 'erotica' this the story is mostly SFW aside from language/drugs/violence. the site linked-to above, however is NSFW)

And none of this is lining any corporation's pockets off the sweat of the authors.

...Al Steiner's _Aftermath_ over on storiesonline.net where his fictional comet Fenwell hits the Pacific Ocean and sends his characters on the way to a nuclear winter--if they can manage to survive the collapse of civilization and constant pouring rain until the sun comes out....

The spooky factor comes from the way the various scientists all thought their fictional comet was rather bright....... Check it out here: http://storiesonline.net/story/34601

I've already seen the answer to this one, and I like it! There's a writer with the pseudonym DB_Story who has posted three "Strip Club Tales", and promises a new one soon in his (her? their?) blog on Stories OnLine (free reg, no ads).

If this is the future, sign me up. Asimov never wrote about robots like this!
