I’ve been seeing lots of interesting requests on the timeline for different types of Jewish stories. I’d love to see all of them. Including maybe a story set in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. Sometimes religion isn’t the reason the fish is out of water. #mswl

I want hooky adult commercial romance so, so much (THE HATING GAME, THE WEDDING DATE, etc.) If it’s body inclusive, even better! #MSWL
