๐ต️♀️CASE FILE: Why Booky Awards Should Come With a Warning
Compiled by: Menagerie Matriarch
Division: Chaos Prevention & Literary Shenanigans Case No.: 2026‑BKY‑001 Status: Active Investigation
Summary of Incident
Multiple attempts were made to upload award‑winning book covers to Amazon KDP. Each attempt resulted in immediate digital panic, rejection, or suspicious system behaviour. The suspected cause: excessive shininess and unfamiliar excellence.
Observed Symptoms
Instant cover rejection
Automated warnings implying impersonation of a major literary institution
Suspiciously long review times
Random genre reassignments
System confusion triggered by poultry imagery
Laurel wreaths flagged as “medal‑like content”
Suspected Cause
Booky Award medallions are:
Too shiny
Too official
Too award‑y
Too confusing for automated systems trained only on Pulitzer, Hugo, and “Best Dad Ever” clipart
Risk Assessment
Severity: High Likelihood: Certain Chaos Factor: Elevated Impact on Author:
Frustration
Hair‑pulling
Sudden biscuit cravings
Temporary belief Amazon has declared war on chickens
Recommendations
Warn all Booky Award recipients of potential KDP turbulence
Provide a “KDP‑Safe” badge with reduced shininess
Lobby Amazon to recognise Booky Awards as legitimate honours
Establish a support group for authors “medalled into madness”
Conclusion
When Booky Awards meet Amazon KDP’s automated suspicion, chaos is inevitable. Therefore:
Booky Awards should absolutely come with a warning.
Preferably bold. Possibly laminated. Definitely chicken‑approved.
