Okay, this is only tangentally a fandom gripe, but my local library system (which I work for, shh) offers downloadable e/e-audio-books. Which is great. We’ve switched ebook subscription services a couple times, and one of the more recent is called Enki. Me being me, I recently went looking for Beauty and the Beast retellings. There are lots of decent-to-amazing ones out there. The ones on offer through Enki, though, are... not so great.

In fact, they suck so mightily I was briefly afraid the suction would pull me through my phone screen into a land of badly photoshoped covers and poorly written Phantom of the Opera ripoffs. My library is paying a company subscription fees for shitty fanfic. I’ve read a lot of Phantom of the Opera fanfic, and this isn’t the good stuff. One of the covers apparently involved someone photoshopping a stock model’s face to have a white bit around one eye for the “mask.” The writing was worse than the Photoshop job.

If I wanted bad Phantom of the Opera fanfic or generic “hot asshole is called Beastly for his behavior” romance novels, I’d go read them. I may as well go read good BatB, PotO, or Rumbelle fanfic instead.

I feel ya. My library used to have Overdrive but switched to Cloudlibrary. Bad photoshop everywhere.

AYRT—we’ve had both of those and a couple others, and sometimes it feels like they went for the lowest bidder.
