Description
NYGEL: Not Your Gran's Erotic Lit
NYGEL is a queer-friendly, judgment-free space with zero tolerance for harassment or hate. We are dedicated to being a safe space for all humans (and monsters).
Do you long for more monsterfuckery in your romance? Do you gravitate towards Venom/Eddie Brock as a ship for…reasons? Do you want to be part of an indie project working to destigmatize unconventional queer desires in the face of an impending authoritarian regime? Then you’ve come (heh) to the right place!
NYGEL (Not Your Gran’s Erotic Lit) was born in a direct response to a gaping hole (heh) in the market: the people yearn for unorthodox, transgressive, just plain ‘weird’ erotica, and it is our pleasure (heh) to provide a space specifically for that.
Too many mags aren’t looking for erotic fiction, and when they do they tend to be heternormative and vanilla, but not NYGEL, baby! We want the genre stuff you think is too niche to send:
Tentacles
Monsters
Cryptids
Werewolves
Vampires
Ghosts
Aliens
Clones
Robots
Etc
The sky's the limit as long as the piece is high quality, sexy, and weird!
