NYGEL tends to straddle (heh) the line between desire and horror. What makes us different from a horror mag is that our focus is always pleasure in queer exploration. Nothing w/ the intent to shock or disgust: it must be written w/ respect to the genre & with the intent to titillate and indulge.πŸŒˆπŸ™πŸ’¦

NYGEL was founded due to the overwhelming lack of mags where our EIC could submit a tentacle smut 😜

We were also inspired by the works of:

@chucktingle.bsky.social (Tinglers)
@haileypiperfights.bsky.social ("Queen of Teeth")
@gmfairy.bsky.social ("Pounded by Produce")

Stay freaky and submit! πŸ™
