Charlie StrossNEW GENRE CATEGORY JUST DROPPED:
Necromantasy—romantasy, only with necromancers (they use adipocere as lube)
Diane Patterson@cstross CHARLIE.
Zylla Black@cstross Wait, you mean the Locked Tomb series? lol
JulesJones@cstross Charlie, bear in mind that Rule 34 really, really applies to romance.
Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷@cstross According to Wikipedia, a professor used candles made from a mummy's adipocere for a lecture at the Royal Society in London and I think we now know what His Majesty uses for romantic dinner lighting.
Advanced Persistent Teapot@cstross cue all of the "stiff" jokes
Angus McIntyre"The grave's a fine and private place
But none, I think, do there embrace …”

JWarner@schrotthaufen @cstross It's easier if they're all buried close together.
Billy Smith@Jeanniewarner @schrotthaufen @cstross
"The family that slays together stays together..." :D
John de Largentaye
Pseudo NymWhat, I just want to make new friends.
Putting the romance back in necromancy.
Sam Livingston-Gray@pseudonym @schrotthaufen @cstross "make new friends, but raise the old / those are silver; these are mold"
Andrew Plotkin@cstross You say “just dropped” but I’ve read at least three authors writing that category *since* Gideon the Ninth took off.
Cadbury Moose@cstross This moose quite definitely did NOT need to know that. Thank you so very much for the concept.
(In return I'd like to suggest "Chat's", or more formally "Chatterton's Compound" as being rather less likely to wash off whilst engaged with a Deep One.)
@cstross Adipocere is a fat based lube and should not be used with latex condoms.
