Remember this logo. If a book has this logo, boycott it.

That’s the logo for publishing company Simon & Schuster who have given racist sack of shit Milo Yiannopoulos a $250,000 contract to write a book.

Yiannopoulos is the “alt-right” editor at Breitbart News, who was banned from Twitter after launching a widespread attack on actress Leslie Jones.

If you want to boycott them (which I certainly support) make sure you check out all their imprints and divisions to avoid it ALL:

Okay, everybody. A friend of mine in the publishing industry just shared a post on Facebook about this, and has given me permission to share the information (with her name redacted):

Hi. I’m someone who’s worked in publishing her entire career, and I’m here to explain the Milo Yiannopoulos issue (notorious troll just got a hefty book deal from Simon & Schuster; internet is freaking out) and how to handle it:

BACKGROUND: Let’s get the “free speech” arguments out of the way: Yiannopoulos is an actively dangerous man who leads bullying mobs against selected targets, and spreads hate speech as a life ethos. Even a person as vile as Yiannopoulos has the right to speak his mind, but decent people owe it to the world not to give him additional platforms and the air of legitimacy. That’s doubly the case in this political climate, which insists that all opinions should be valued equally, regardless of whether they’re true or false, and whether they make the world a better or worse place to live in. This is rather like deciding to publish “Mein Kampf” - is that really what you want your legacy to be as an organization?

WHAT NOT TO DO: No “I’m going to boycott Simon & Schuster” talk unless you are a published author and you’re talking about not contracting with them. This is not like buying toilet paper or leather jackets - they sell the work of real, living, struggling authors who really really want you to read what they’ve labored over for years, and it’s unfair to penalize them because their publishing company is being dumb. Print media is a fragile industry these days, and that’s why we’re seeing these big stupid controversial book deals - it’s because we no longer have a world where people walk into their local independent neighborhood bookstore and let the kindly old cashier recommend you a book of poetry with a 500-copy print run that speaks perfectly to your reading sensibilities. You gotta have your crossover blockbusters or the whole enterprise crosses the December finish line in the red. Insisting on a boycott just makes people who haven’t bought a book since college want to run out and pre-order this to spite you. Simon & Schuster knows you “I love books, here’s a shared image macro about how I would literally make gentle love to a piece of printed paper if it were socially acceptable” folks get all your books used from Amazon for $3.99 + shipping, anyway, so they don’t care whether you’re their friend. This is for the business traveler with gross views who needs something entertaining for the plane flight to the Atlanta conference. You gotta convince them not to sell to THAT guy.

WHAT TO DO: Write them letters, hard-copy ones that need a stamp and an envelope. At any major publishing house, the people at the bottom are mostly clever, thoughtful, progressive gals who don’t like this sort of thing any more than you do. They want to be able to go to their bosses’ bosses’ bosses with a massive stack of post and say, “Hey, this is the only reader correspondence we’re getting now,” because that wastes time, and the easiest way to piss off a publishing house is to waste their employees’ time. Wasting time = less time for making books. Remember also that everybody who gets into publishing does it because fundamentally they love to READ, they READ anything that is put in front of them, even the guys at the top who spend more time on the phone and at cocktail parties than working with text believe in words as a magical conduit of ideas, and if you write them a long heartfelt letter, they may scoff at it but they will read it, and if they have 1000 heartfelt letters a day, then sooner or later all those words will sink in.

This is not a plastics manufacturer, this is not a bank. This is a book company. Write to the people who are in the business of reading.

CONTACT INFO:

Corporate Headquarters SIMON & SCHUSTER, INC. 1230 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020 PHONE: [phone] And individual contacts here, best to address it to someone in particular: http://about.simonandschuster.biz/leadership/ Normally, the best tactic is to write directly to a specific editor or the imprint, but Threshold is conservative, so they may not care. Still, perhaps try: Threshold Editions General Phone: [phone] General Fax: [phone] Jennifer Robinson Vice President, Director of Publicity [email protected] And make the point that the views of this author are not conservative views, they are fundamentally hateful and aggressive views which seek to undermine the rights of other citizens. He did, after all, help lead the hate mob against Leslie Jones that got her hacked - they should ask themselves whether that’s something with which they want their otherwise respectable work to be associated, especially since the published book may end up becoming associated with additional hate crimes should readers take it too literally. Surely they don’t want their book to start making news for being repeatedly found in the homes of every homegrown militant for the next 10 years.

I’ll also add that Louise Burke is president and publisher of the Gallery imprint, which Threshold falls under, so you could send to her as well.

Good advice. A boycott in this case would be counterproductive. Milo is being published through a “conservative imprint” that has already published the likes of Dinesh D’Souza and Glenn Beck. However, Simon and Schuster has dozens of other imprints, many of which are rather progressive, and they actually have a strong reputation as a company that supports LGBT themes. 

A boycott would drive down sales for those progressive lines - while not affecting the sales for the conservative imprint at all. S&S would potentially take that and double down on this kind of disgusting content.

^^^^^^^^

[roane72]

THIS. If you boycott ALL of S&S’s books, you are harming literally hundreds of authors who had nothing to do with this decision, the vast majority of whom are struggling, and who more than likely signed with S&S long before that piece of shit got his book offer. The authors will pay the price, both financially, and in terms of their careers–authors that don’t sell don’t get new contracts for new books. Tell S&S what you think, absolutely, but a boycott is going to hurt the innocent authors much much more than it will the company.

This is a great guide for the coming years. We’re in the era of the handwritten letter, email, and phone call from the concerned citizen. There’s no other way around it. We have to step up our correspondence. If you retweet or reblog it, you can try to send an email or write a letter.

Teribeth Leyglyph

Rosisany and Teri’s relationship began as a friendly rivalry between classmates. Both were exceptional students and vied for the attention of mentors, pushing their skills and minds to the limits in order to prove they were the superior gnome.

Sometime in early adolescence the relationship grew hostile, though Rosi was unable to ascertain why. Teri’s teasing banter turned into cutting words and thinly veiled threats, causing Rosi to withdraw somewhat and focus more on her studies for the sake of learning rather than competition, not wishing to draw any further ire from the fellow gnome. 

Teri continued the feud in earnest however, and was eventually exposed to be cheating on a major project late in their educational career. It was Rosi who discovered the deception, which led to Teribeth being expelled from the prestigious school they attended and shunned by most scholars skilled enough to teach her.

Rosi quickly lost track of Teribeth after her expulsion, her attention held by the nearly finished Steamworks. She only learned several years after that her ex-rival had landed herself in prison over (unrelated) fraud.

It was in prison that the two would later meet again. Found guilty of negligence leading to the deaths of two dozen Togglewood citizens, Rosisany was locked away for three years along with her self-proclaimed nemesis.

Some stuff that happened in prison:

Teri was the leader of a well organized prison gang which threatened Rosi and anyone she made friends with 

Rosi retaliated by forming her own gang, but with less beatings and more “power of friendship will save us.” It was mostly a sort of spy network that promised to have each other’s backs in case shit went down. It was jokingly referred to as the Ring Around the Rosi, then Rosi’s Ringers, or just The Ringers.

There was probably a lot of drama. Something big eventually happened that either got Teri more time on her sentence or transferred to a tougher prison. I don’t have details yet.

Theraness: A Loose Chronology

Somewhere far away, in another plane of existence altogether, the Illithid rule all they survey and have done so for millennia. Their eternal vassals, the Elves, grow sick of the Illithid’s dominion and revolt, escaping to the material plane, and to Theraness.

With their magical aptitude and ruthless warrior nature, the Elves conquer all of Theraness, which at the time included what is now known as Iselyn, and a huge swath of land which is now underwater to the south.

With their conquest of the material plane complete, the Elves began to build their great works - massive castles and monuments - all upon the back of captured human slaves.

Eventually the humans make contact with an Elder God ™ who doesn’t have a name yet in canon and form a druidic religion devoted to worship of this god in secret.

At the behest of the druids, the Elder God ™ causes the sea to rise up and swallow the Elven cities on the southern tip of Theraness, creating the archipelago that’s there now.

With the power of their god behind them, the druids help the humans to revolt against the Elves and drive them to the west into what is now Iselyn. Some elves - now known as Wood Elves - stay behind, waging a guerrilla war to reclaim their territory.

The Dwarves of Ulefgard help the humans against the Elves, and in doing so forge an alliance that lasts to this day.

The Gnomes of Togglewood make contact with the Dwarves and become business partners - the dwarven gold and trade acumen fueling an expansion of gnomish technology into Theraness.

Anti-Dwarven sentiment rises in Theraness as the Druids and their followers feel more and more supplanted by the expansion of technology.

The Campaign ™ begins.

The gift Rosi gave to Magda’s grandchild contained an ornate ebony box decorated with mother-of-pearl, turquoise and gold leaf, which had a set of pens and inkpots inside. It also included a note explaining that the gift would obviously be better suited to be given to the child at a later age, as well as instructions on how to activate a mechanism within the box that would loosen a false bottom and reveal a set of small, well made tools (screwdriver, file, etc) along with some lock picks.

The gift’s all symbolic ‘n shit, yo
