I'm travelling for the next 7 hours but will be back online soon after. I'll try to keep my eye open for questions when I stop for breaks :)

[Jamie (TheRebelliousReader)]

Would either of these work

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Both work Jamie

[Truitt_T]

Sorry to bother you with another question about a cover, Jane, but I wasn't sure if this would work:



They're certainly humanoid....

Thanks!

[Vi]

Hi Jane, will work? Thanks!

[Darkness]

Would this work?

As the task is a 'human body' I'm going to say no.

Yep :)

The first one is a bit 'weird' cos there isn't much of them and since the task is a human body - I'm saying no.

And yes to the second cover.

[Kat]

Does this work. The Right Swipe

Kat wrote: "Does this work. The Right Swipe"

Yes :)

[Jean]

What about this one



I wasn’t going to ask since it seemed pretty straight forward but your answer above seemed to make me question whether a shifter would qualify even if they are wholly human on the cover.

That's what belatedly occurred to me. Thanks, Jane.

Its the cover model I'm looking at, not what the book is about. So this unshifted cover model's body works :)

(Truitt's model would have been fine if it didn't have a tail ;)

[AliciaJ]

Does this one work?

[Shandrea]

Looking at your examples and the previously asked questions, I originally thought this was going to work:



But as I continue to see the cover, I am second guessing if it will work or not...

Would a Christmas tree work?

[Kat]

Jill wrote: "Would a Christmas tree work?"

I’d say so

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Jill wrote: "Would a Christmas tree work?"

Yes - so long as it isn't a fake one!

[Vi]

Will this book work as it has flowers on the cover? Or this: ?

[Ela (Mouse333)]

Can the plant/trees be drawn? For example, would this work?

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

does this work?

[Amanda]

Can the flowers be in stained glass like:

[Truitt_T]

And another question - are flowers alone ok, or do the need to be demonstrably part of, say, a flowering shrub?

Thanks!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Vi wrote: "Will this book work as it has flowers on the cover? Or this: ?"

Both work :)

Drawn representations of plants work :)

Flowers alone are OK.

Roger - president of NBR United - wrote: " does this work?"

I'm going to allow reflections of trees in the puddle.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Amanda wrote: "Can the flowers be in stained glass like: "

Sorry - I'm saying no to stained glass.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

For anyone interested, it a no to tattoos or other likenesses, like paintings etc.

I am looking for the presence of a plant in the bookcover that is an actual plant - not a drawn likeness within the cover.

However drawn covers will work in this instance where the plant is an included feature of the landscape.

[Amanda]

Just before I do another one, is it okay if you don't see the whole plant?

[Vi]

Jane (PS) wrote: "Vi wrote: "Will this book work as it has flowers on the cover? Or this: ?"

The MPG is the list of genres on the main page. Your selected book cannot have the genres of Horror, Thriller, Suspense, Mystery, Action or Adventure showing in this genre list.

This includes if you click on 'more' to expand out to a few more genres, but not when you click 'show all'.

Please ask here if you aren't sure.
