#mswl: Don't you think the heist story Madison Ferris suggests here sounds fun? Have you written something similar in an SFF setting? Please send it on! nytimes.com/2020/08/25/t-m…
I say this every #mswl, but I never get enough hard sf. I especially like hard sf based on the unexpected sciences, like @SueBurkeSpain's Semiosis series, based on her study of botany.
This song came out the year before I was born, and I'm disappointed none of it has come true yet. But at least I can #mswl it? Send me some of that optimistic, aspirational sci-fi and fantasy please. Don't let Susan down! youtu.be/46FOlF5bZPQ
I absolutely believe you can write deep, thoughtful sci-fi and fantasy with lovable characters and a happy ending. Exhibit 1: Terry Pratchett. #mswl
That said, a really cool novel about autonomous cars would be fun to see. #mswl
What I mean by hard-SF: your worldbuilding is based on an extrapolation from modern technology or scientific knowledge. This would include botany/biology/materials science, too! #mswl
Have you written a really great hard-sf novel with lovable characters in it? Especially if it's set in a future that isn't dystopian? I never get enough of those. Please send it on! #MSWL
SFF with interesting and unusual takes on AI #MSWL
SFF that addresses climate change directly, especially when the heroes work together to find solutions #MSWL
Aspirational SFF, like a modernized Star Trek TOS. #mswl
I never get enough hard science fiction, especially written by experts. #MSWL
Bring on the radical empathy, optimism, and human connection. Sci-fi means the future can be better. #mswl
My regular heads' up-- I never get enough hard sci-fi set on Earth or military sci-fi. #mswl
I want more SF&F fun spy stories. #mswl
Have you written a science fiction novel for adults set in an appealing future? Send it on! #MSWL
