unintentionalgenius: hiswholebohemiansoul: christyleighstewart: The cover for the asexual romance anthology is released, I love it. If you want to submit your story into the book, the details are here: http://goodmourningpublishing.com/call.html Honestly, who decided this was a good idea? A much more effective picture could be used for this cover, such as 2 people (perhaps one of which is androgynous and/or colored) in bed reading and holding hands. I’d read that. But I would never guess in a million years that this book is about asexuality. Wait what?  What about this says anything remotely resembling “I am a book about asexuality”? Why….??? I’mm not ace, but this is like a super suck book cover. like, way too sexualized. and I totes agree with doing androgynous.
