FOAD Thursday: Amazon Can FOAD

FOAD Thursday badge made by me using Pixlr and a free-use image from Pixabay.
Content warning: this post is frustrated, pissed off, and sweary. If you are sensitive to profanity, don't fucking read it.
Amazon can fuck off the edge of the Earth and keep fucking off into the nearest black hole and when they reach the other side they can continue fucking off for eternity.
Cloned Heat IV has not been released yet because the Twat Brigade at Amazon decided that suddenly free-use images from Pixabay with attribution and a link to Pixabay's image use policy are not enough. One needs a signed release statement from the image creator who put their images on Pixabay to be used.
I just fucking cannot with this shit.
So, I ended up using one of Amazon's stock images for the cover and we'll see if the bastards will be so generous as to publish it now.
As a secondary FOAD, LBRY/Odysee can FOAD as well.
It was nice being able to use LBRY as an alternative to Amazon. But then they decided to kill LBRY in favor of Odysee and enact the Hayes Code so publishers of adult material can just get stuffed, even if we abide by an ethical code including flagging our material as being for mature audiences.
At this point, I really encourage readers who find my naughty little stories entertaining to support me on Patreon. Each new story becomes available in PDF form as it's published. Subscriptions start at as little as $1 per month. All but a small percentage of the money goes to me and, most importantly, does not go to Amazon.
Cloned Heat IV is already available from my Patreon.
Just in case I wasn't clear before:
Fuck Amazon.
Fuck them so fucking hard.
With a cactus.
And now it's time for the FOAD Thursday Theme Song.
