This week we interview DMFO, a truly serious technophile who has a real feel for encounters between women and machines.

We should have another interview next week, but for this week we have another story, a prose adaptation of Faustus's icky-sexy tale The Simplest Love Story, which was originally written as a comic.

This week on the podcast we interview Gamma of Gammatelier, an illustrator of radical amputees, monster girls, and conjoined girls.  Who would have imagined that a creator of so many quadruple amputees could have so much charm?

In keeping with a skinny interview schedule for the holidays we do another story episode this week.  I read one of my own, "Bubbles," which I adapted from a comic I wrote some years back, a story inspired by the mad scientist movies of the 1950s.  When pretty Becky Brindle volunteers for a science experiment with a new kind of soap, things go tragically wrong, albeit not without a happy ending of a sort.  Also, this week we have our first mailbag item, in which listener and amateur vore artist Blackrain writes in to tell us that he, too, once bought role-playing game books just to read them.   Links:  "Bubbles" comic dedicated site:  https://www.wrections.com/  "Bubbles in a slider at Erotic Mad Science:  https://eroticmadscience.com/2019/01/09/bubbles-in-a-slider/ Blackrain's site at Eka's Portal:  https://aryion.com/g4/user/blackrain 

This week we talk with Nobilis Reed, busy podcaster and one of the most productive sci-fi erotica authors now working, largely about tentacle sex and his two new sci-fi tentacle sex novels The Monster Whisperer and The Monster Whisperer:  Second Class, but also about writing in general.  Nobilis shares wry insight into his own writing and has useful advice for those interested in becoming writers themselves.  It was an honor to have him on the show and a great listen, so tune in!   Nobilis's Amazon page:  https://www.amazon.com/Nobilis-Reed/e/B002DBLG6Q%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share  The Nobilis Erotica Podcast -- the most prolific erotica podcast in the known universe:  https://nobilis.libsyn.com/  This Kaiju Life:  The audio diary of a perfectly ordinary IT guy working at an extraordinary company (Nobilis narrates):  https://kaiju.libsyn.com/  Nobilis on Twitter: @Nobilis Nobilis's Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/nobilis     

Our guest this week comes to us from the far fringes of the American continent and is known, perhaps appropriately, under the name "Northern Chill." Northern Chill is one of the long-service veterans of the A.S.F.R. world, having written a large number of petrification and dollification stories from way back in day of Yahoo groups. He has gone on to being a very prolific comics author, generating the scripts for dozens of comics that appear over at Mind Control Comics.   He is an especially welcome interviewee for his long history in the community not just of writing stories and comics scripts but of helping other writers get started in their respective crafts.

"The death of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world," as Poe wrote.  He might have added that it is also one of those most charged with profound erotic energy.  Since there is no interview scheduled for this week, Faustus reads Poe's story "Ligeia" (1838) and, in a very short terminal essay, argues for its inclusion in the canon of dark erotic art.

This week we talk with Leem, one of the elders of the A.S.F.R. community.  Leem has been writing and publishing his own prose stories about petrification and immobilization on the Internet since mid-2000, while also generously serving as the host for a large number of Internet stories that might otherwise have been lost.  Leem shares sage observations about writing and publishing.  Also, Faustus spouts off about the Internet a lot.

This week we interview jack-of-all trades artist Tek, whose dark erotic art interests span statue, manikin, and time stop fetishes and have expanded both within the Metrobay world and beyond into such things as gold old fashioned superhero comics.  He has worked in writing, hand drawing, and 3D art.

This week we interview Judge Mental, proprietor of Peril Comics and a long time creator of 3d art.  We talk about the art itself and the recent challenge he has taken upon himself to unify multiple fictional worlds, all of which are quite large in themselves. The audio quality on the interview itself is substandard due to a failure in the software I normally use for interviews -- we had to substitute a pair of recorded Google Voice calls to conduct the interview.  I have decided to make this interview available on the judgment that even inferior audio beats none at all.
