Full of spoilers, but oh so worth it. (Tip: Keep watching after it says "The End".)

Breakthrough pain! Only a 3/10, but still, I've slugged it with another Percocet.
I suspect that my brain will shortly be melting out of my ears. Say goodnight, Gracie.

Made a few slight changes. This is the final version.
( Cloud effect added, extreme background details taken away )
I think it looks a lot better.

Seven new species of eggs, with some variants, have been released at DragCave. I managed to snag one.

Your result for The Sorting Hat Test...
Gryffindor
You scored 39% Order/Chaos, and 63% Moral/Rational

Chaotic Morality. You're not much for rules and itinerary, but you make up for it because you'd never twist the regulations for anything morally questionable. Your strength lies in your noble intentions and willingness to stand up for right; your weakness is in the fact that you may screw yourself over when you jump the gun or ignore rules that are there for a good reason.
You join such souls as Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom, and the Weasleys.
The 4-grid I used to determine this is as follows:

Amazon.com says they're "deranking" all adult titles, but in fact they're only censoring LGBT titles.
ms_daisy_cutter has an entry with many excellent links here.
So, what to do about it? As per a press release from Erica Friedman of Yuricon & ALC Publishing:
Amazon De-ranks "Adult" Books?
This is not a crisis, nor should we run screaming, but I think it is important enough that every reader, writer, publisher, editor and all champions of freedom of expression should take note. Amazon has changed its policy and has de-ranked books that it deems "adult" in nature. This includes anything they count as erotica and many non-adult LGBT books, as well.
I do not advocate being outraged. Outrage accomplishes nothing. I *do* advocate a polite, but firm letter campaign asking that Amazon allow sales to indicate sales rank and nothing else. I distrust their definition of "adult" if it does not include Twilight, but does include Annie on My Mind.
Please make a firm request that all books be ranked and that they do not involve behavior that can be seen as censorship or "protection." Please feel free to Digg this or forward it to MLs, forums, sites, etc. The more people who protest politely, the more of an impact we can make.
You can contact the Amazon Executive customer service email at ecr@amazon.com, call the customer service phone number: 1-800-201-7575 or login to your Amazon account and visit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cont act-us/general-questions.html?ie=UTF8&browse_node_id=468496
As a publisher of LGBT comics, as a reader of whatever I want to read, as a member of the community of humans that prefers to think for myself, I ask for your support against this misguided policy.

... I'm really, REALLY hoping that this is just a glitch in their system. But when it comes to bigotry, sadly, I am rapidly losing my capacity to be surprised.
