    As a young man I worked in a bookstore and when I discovered the amount of smut in romance novels it was pretty shocking.

    Then I read the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.

    I was not prepared for that.

      So, I tried the first few chapters. At what point does it become illegal? (Spoiler alert. They explain how she was asleep for hundreds of years, but they also describe her little 15 year old body way too much)

      Sure, the author can get paid for writing that. But if I request fan art or AI art of it, then I’m in trouble?

      (I’m not requesting that art. Nor am I continuing the books. You can still tell the same story with a 25 y/o Prince and a 19 y/o princess)
