We got exactly what we asked for with clarification on terms relating to furry art, they've clearly stated they want NSFW expression. This is a living process not carved stones carried down from the mountain.

Nothing expensive, just obscure enough that finding a doctor to prescribe it is kinda hard, especially with no GPs in the area.

Also being a competent writer is not nearly a universal skill among ENG majors, inc grad students, so I'll grant that.
