Pæan to Priapus

Pæan to Priapus is a slash multifandom anthology, with a more than usual for the time bent towards literary slash. Like the other zines published by Oblique Publications, they were without art, but showed the strong graphics sensibility of their editor.
"Pæan to Priapus came into existence as a way to present several slash story ideas that couldn’t be included in our Oblaque series because they weren’t set in the Blake’s 7 universe. Not that we wanted to eliminate B7 from Pæan, but rather we didn’t want to dilute the B7 in Oblaque." from the editorial in the first issue 
Many of the authors listed are pseuds of M. Fae Glasgow.
