I mentioned to a housemate that someone on the panel said they wanted skeletor porn and his response was, β€œsame, girl.” Clearly it's a kind of thing…

I don’t post here often but attenzione! You want to support NESS , especially #3 and its new Jirel story! But wait, there’s more! β€œHigh Water,” my very first (extremely) short S&S story will be published therein, a smol weird tale of a queer sorcerer and hagiomancy in late medieval Venice βš”οΈ!

❀️ the shrive chat! β€œShrive” shows up in English pre 12th-c, β€œto administer the rite of confession” and is in Spenser, Shakespeare, and through 19th-c. (β€œO shrive me, shrive me, holy man!”—Rime of the Ancient Mariner). Okay, enough weird tales word-nerdery. Looking forward to your story in NESS!
