Oh man, you people have no idea what kind of stuff gets published online.
I refuse to believe that any of those are real books. REFUSE.


Then again, I did stumble across a subgenre of fiction that I could have done without knowing existed: "BBW Paranormal Romance".
Yep....hunky werewolves who fall in love with chubby housewives. Although it appears the genre is branching out to were-animals of all sorts. Bears, panthers, a bobcat. Now I'm thinking I need to write a trashy romance novel about a cougar....who is actually a cougar.

While I have little interest in reading such a thing...
I'm pleasantly surprised that it exists!

Seriously, I love that we're approaching a point where there is fiction for every interest.  As far as I'm concerned, that is only a good thing.

... It's also pretty funny though.

It's self published, apparently. Amazon's just serving as the distributer, or something along those lines. Also people seem to like it, for whatever reason.

No, I know what kind of awful shit gets published online.

I saw them published in a physical shop.

S'okay, I saw this title on a grocery store bookshelf and literally did a spit-take.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I really need to try my hand at writing a few things because holy shit, there's no way I could be more of a hack than this.
EDIT: Just for reference, this is book 16 in a series, and concerns the romance between a vampire and "a were-tiger princess". That sounds more like a really munchkin D&D party than a novel. When did repressed housewives replace teenage neckbeards?

That's the kind of novel that is written, edited and published in an afternoon.

Ah, the furmanity!

I know I am supposed to be joining the "EWWW Furies are icky because... uhhh... I don't like them!" bus (not that it is what the person who posted that meant)

But... my attention is more drawn to just how freeken awkwardly everyone is posed in that drawing. What is it I am supposed to feel looking at that?

Hell, I'm pretty sure I could write better quality fiction than the person who wrote "Racoon Sex God", but you gotta hand to these people, the art on some of these covers is really something else :P

Also, if I may ask, who the hell is this guy?? And why he's in so many covers??
Is odd erotic novel cover model a profession somewhere?

Pretty sure we've had fanfic/fic of the fur/scale/whatever sort being written long before publishing em became a thing.  Humanity will survive.



That feeling you get when you drink milk and are lactose intolerant.  Mind you, it was supposed to be lactose free or something, maybe lactose light.  That is what you get when accepting what family gives you at face value, rather then checking it closely.


On another note, recently tried out the fancy cruise control vehicle on a newer car.  I... don't really like it.  Not used to taking slight-medium curves while not controlling the speed myself, despite the fact that I fundamentally go into them the same way/speed while on manual.

It also explains why people don't slow down while going uphill, but do when going downhill though.  I hate that, passing me while going uphill, then slowing down on the downhill so that I easily catch up... and going slower then my preferred speed the rest of the time they are in front of me.


Another driving thing, 3 line roads, where one side splits into 2 lines when going uphill...  when I make a left turn on those roads, yes, I put up the turn signal pretty early... People still slow down behind me, rather then switching over to the right lane, when there are no vehicles in the right lane... even when there are also no other vehicles behind.
It boggles me everytime.
(And yes, my turn signals do work.)

Yeah that was my takeaway.  Not that it was furry, but that it was so awkward looking!

I'm sure there's a market-
"USA Today bestselling author"

I can't even tell what genre it is supposed to be.

If it is supposed to be sexy, make it look sexy. If it is supposed to look dystopian make it look dystopian.

It just looks completely embarrassing for everyone. I've rarely encountered characters that look embarrassed to be in a piece of fiction.
