Stumbled upon this article about authors on Goodreads getting extortion threats or else their books get review-bombed: Time Article

Not Gifted Enough.

So far, I only publish on BCTS. The rest all seem so mean and nasty.

another example

another example of the internet making it too easy for readers to attempt to influence writers.

Many writers write then move on just as a builder, painter or sculptor would and they do not care what kritty14663 or some other faceless online person thinks.

Readers should read then move on as noiselessly as they arrived.

Not how it works

Lee's picture

That's not how it works with physical books. You've read and liked other books by the author. Or one of your friends suggested that book. Or you read reviews of what other people think of the book. Are you read the reviews of critics you like and their suggestions.

I agree with Erisian blackmail of any kind should be stamped out with a Vengeance.
