The conservatives might have won, but not without Ghede giving them a bit of a slap. Maybe some people in the middle will realize how repressed people are become.

I wonder what kind of backing they are referring to becauase obviously the big boys aren't having a problem getting erotica out there. I had several titles recommended by the editor of Spice for what they'd like to see. Uh, whoa, is about all I can say, LOLOL! Hmm.

It's very very sad. And I remember EC having PayPal problems a while back. What amazes me most is this supposed conservative climate. Where? Pop diva clothing is racier and racier every day, there's more swearing on television than ever before...where are the conservatives? Sorry. Rant over. I promise. I agree, Sylvia. It’s very very sad.

I think this is more along the lines of investors threatening to withdraw their financial support if EC launches an erotica imprint. That would jeopardize EC as well as their mainstream imprint, <a href="http://www.cerridwenpress.com/" rel="external">Cerridwen Press</a>. Annie,

I heard a rumor in the erotica community - that PayPal and credit cards refused to make transactions on what they considered to be porn. Is that the 'commercial backing' you're talking about? Hmmm.
