Since Amazon’s censorship crackdown, it’s become a hugely common practice among self-publishing erotica authors to sneak around Amazon’s rule against incest-y themes by making the characters “stepparents,” “stepchildren,” “step-siblings,” etcetera. Up until now I haven’t done this, but now I have, reworking some past titles just for Amazon.

And I’ve had some fun with it. The four titles shown below have been rewritten so that all the incestuous characters are now “step-incestuous.” The step-versions of these stories are only on Amazon.

I don’t know if I’ll be doing this makeover-for-Amazon thing with any other stories. It was fun for these four titles, but as one of the characters in (Step) Fathers and Daughters points out, it can feel a little contrived after a while.

October 2013 update: Hoops-a-daisy. Amazon, in their infinite wisdom, has changed the rules again, so these titles are no longer available there. There still available (in non-”step” versions) on Smashwords.
