Panel from Othercon 2023. 13 August 2023 at 3:00 PM CDT.
The dæmian community formulated the concept of dæmonism, in which a
dæmon is a mental construct that is directly connected to someone and
acts similarly to the dæmons in Philip Pullman's series, His Dark

only what dæmons are, but-- more importantly-- what they are for you.

any alterhuman identity, isn’t a walk in the park-- this brief panel
will go into details on what books on otherkin are already out there,
what obstacles authors in the community have faced and continue to face,
and some potential options that aspiring alterhuman writers can sink
their hands (or claws) into.
