Hi, I am about to publish an erotica story as an ebook! I can't wait to share it, but I have some questions for more seasoned publishers.
My story includes some triggers like noncon and possible bestiality (it's a fantasy, and involves a rather violent band of centaurs.) How can I make sure these issues are highlighted so that those with trigger issues will know not to read it? I really enjoy writing these racy scenes, but it's important to me that people who might be disturbed by them are alerted.
I know that Amazon has started cracking down on the more "questionable" content like incest, non-consent, and bestiality, but that their biggest concern is keeping their storefront clean. Apparently, if you keep your titles and descriptions pretty innocuous they don't mind as much. I also heard that B&N is much more open to these themes. However, if I post a clean-ish title and description, other than the tags, how will I protect those with triggers against those scenes in my book?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Your sales of this project are going to come more from social media, boards, and blogs. So, rather than posting it on a major site like these why not self produce your content. You can set up a online store easily for less than $100. Sell your own work directly and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. Btw I would like to read your story, and if you set up a sale on eBay or some other site that will transfer money. I will buy it from you. Good luck! Pm me if you are interested.
I am definitely interested. In my research I have read that Kindle is just the easiest way to get started, but having my own website that works through Paypal would probably work, as well. Have you done this before?
