I'm not fond of them either, aurelia, but I don't really care if there is an affiliate link. I'd just be unlikely to use it, as I tend to shop at indie bookstores.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can see that. I don't shop at Amazon, on a philosophical objection. But it's not the sort of objection that means I care if anyone else does, or if we get money from others doing so.
eBay? CDBaby? I have no problem with them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I should've finished my thought before posting. See edit.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I don't see how your user experience will change, Gus, if you don't want to use the links. Are you bothered by the other links on the link page that you don't use?
Nope. Affiliate links on the link page works, for me. People getting spanked for not using the affiliate links doesn't.
Liese isn't fond of the large corporate bookstores.
Book sales are book sales. Sell more books, I say.

Yeah, see, that's an argument you're going to have to hold onto until someone a) suggests it or b) you can show it's a likely result of my suggestion.
Cause I got nothing for you.

Holy crap! How do you bookmark a post? I have only been here a few years, so it is not immediately apparent.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, if rumor is to be trusted, some of the Buffistas have been known to engage in the odd spanking ritual or two, so it's not entirely unlikely....

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Gus, darling, click "Mark" after the post number. Once that has been accomplished, look to the left hand side of the screen, in the Message Center link area, and click on "View Bookmarks" to, incidentally, view your bookmarks.
Mwah!

You'd need to not only demonstrate causality, but also a sound case that the spanking wouldn't have happened in the alternate universe anyway.
That's the hard part.
