Emmy And Me

Well, I just got a private message from the administrators of Royal Road asking me to change my book cover.

They have received a number of complaints that the cover is suggestive, the PM states.

I will admit that the picture is sexy. I picked it because it's sexy. The subject of my story is romance, and the title character is supposed an unusually sexy young woman. Any picture of her would therefore, by definition be sexy.

That said, there are plenty of covers on Royal Road that are far more suggestive. Look at "Sexy Space Babes" as an example.

I really don't want to change the cover. I will if I have to, but I won't do it very willingly.

so I would like to ask you, my lovely readers- should I change the cover or should I fight it?

If you guys feel as I do, please send a PM to the Royal Road administration telling them how you feel. If you do that, please BCC me if you can.

Sorry about the rant. I hate to interrupt the story with this issue, but this does upset me and I would like to know your feelings on the matter.
