- Hi @Google Blogger Team, this is a sincere longshot but I really hope that someone on your side is reading this. We are an independent & totally FREE Fantasy & SF book review site that’s been operating since 2007. Over the last 15-plus years we have had 3600-plus posts that (1/n)
GIF- Replying to @FantasyBookCrit(12/n) Thank you for your help and we hope that @Google blogger does the right thing & helps in restoring Fantasy Book Critic blog. We are just a bunch of book lovers who do this in our spare time & wish to keep this labour of love going for many more years to come.
GIF - Replying to @FantasyBookCrit(6/n) However WE ARE JUST A BOOK REVIEW site that uses publisher supplied information such as book covers, official book blurbs and buying links (amazon, goodreads, publisher/author websites), we never get paid for this and don’t have any affiliate links on any of our pages ever!

- Replying to @FantasyBookCrit(11/n) Dear Authors, publishing folks & #BookTwitter friends, here’s how you can help us. Primarily by RT/QTing this thread & spreading the word of our horrid predicament far & wide. Secondly if you know somebody at Google, can you help us to directly get in touch with them?
- Replying to @FantasyBookCrit(10/n) Also @google Blogger team, we have reviewed titles by @torbooks, @orbitbooks, @AceRocBooks, @gollancz, @penguinrandom, @CrownPublishing, @UKTor, @SubPress, @JoFletcherBooks, @RebellionPub, @tordotcom, & many others. Please ASK THEM about us being a genuine book review blog
- Replying to @FantasyBookCrit(8/n) For whatever reason (we still don’t know why our reviews were flagged) our review posts were listed together with torrent sites and websites offering pirated content. Unfortunately, Google has already removed the blog and WE SIMPLY DON’T KNOW if and when it'll be restored.
- Replying to @FantasyBookCrit(9/n) We have submitted a counterclaim but if a real person doesn't look into it, it can take ages. As far as we have learned, @Google can keep "deleted" content for 30/90 days (diff. sources say differently). It's confusing & we hope everything can be righted but nothing is sure
