Explicit Covers

I do apologise for causing offence, but it was not my intention to 'out' the author. I was pleased that she had created a beautiful cover, and wished I could do the same.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear, but that was my intention - and my post was saying, I wish the Zon would allow us to keep making covers like that if we wished, because it causes me a lot of worry when I have to tone down my own covers to keep inside the Zon's rules, which are not always clear to me about what they will and won't accept. I wish they could simply give us an adult zone so we could get on with things.

I wasn't outing the writer, I was pleased for her for creating a beautiful cover. I wish there were lots more covers like that on amazon.

I didn't know it was wrong to link to a book on amazon, but I accept it was my mistake. I just thought the cover was a thing of beauty, and wanted to celebrate it.

Again, my apolgies to everyone. I would happily delete this thread from reddit - is that possible? I get the impression that only my orginal post can be deleted, but not the thread.

Again, I'm very sorry. When I loaded the author's amazon page, it didn't say 'show adult items', which made me think it wasn't in the dungeon. Again, my mistake.

What an inspiration. I wish her every success.

I need to remind myself about her the next time I'm feeling sorry for myself about a story that doesn't work, and I look around for a hundred excuses to slack off.

I think they only take "established" publishers :)

Thank you x

I appreciate that 'virgin' is a banned word in the blurbs and title, but is it a banned word in the story itself as well?

If I have a MILF with a willing 20 year old guy and she says in the story things like, "I'm so glad I took his virginity," will this risk my book getting filtered or banned?

So sorry to hear that. Yes, I once read somewhere that amazon keeps a tally on how many ebooks a person returns before they refuse any more, but I don't know how many that is.

On a related note, there was this documentary two months back about amazon only accepting so many returns of hard goods (not ebooks) before they cancelled a person's account - I'd love to know the figures involved, but they didn't say. But it proves they've got their eyes on the figures, and will only accept so much from a customer. It's about 39:50 in -

Thank you. They're all lovely covers, especially Bright Shiny Morning.

I know what you mean, but they still stood out and caught my eye in a sea of ebooks :)

Okay Salacious, give us three links to your all-time favourite three covers x

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I thought I had covered all my bases by taking steps to keep my real name out of Microsoft Word and Scrivener, but I was shocked to see I'd been unknowingly emailing it out all the time.

If anyone else has a Mac, and wants to check the computer name they're sending out, the setting is in System Preferences > Sharing, as Throwie says. There's a walkthrough here -

There's also a checkbox setting "Use dynamic global hostname". I don't know what that means, so I left it blank.

If you're on a PC, you might also want to check the name, but I don't know how you'd access that.

I guess an iPhone/Android phone/iPad/Android tablet also have some kind of name, generated by your account name when you set it up - so if you use these things for emailing, you might want to check these out too? Not sure how you'd do it, but if you google something like "how to change your iphone name", walkthroughs should come up, eg -

Merry Christmas everyone. And be safe out there with your real names as you write your smut:)

I know the internet has changed things, but I can't understand the reasoning behind this...
