I want a YA Sweetbitter — intense coming-of-age set in the very messy restaurant world. #mswl

And, of course, I love a good YA rom-com, the funnier the better :) #mswl

I'd also love to see high-concept YA thrillers, especially if they incorporate a structure that adds to the tension. I'm haunted by Stephanie Kuehn's WHEN I AM THROUGH WITH YOU, which is told from jail, and I'd looooove something like that. #MSWL

My YA romantasy caveat is that the romance must be between humans. I am not the right fit for fae or elves or orcs or mermaids or aliens or robots.
(However, things that were once human are OK: vampires, werewolves, ghosts). #mswl

That is not the case for YA, though! I really, really want romantic fantasy (or "romantasy").
Give me pining and angst and love triangles. The rush of first love. All that good stuff.

This is a hyper-specific Horror ask but I would die (and be reborn as a ghost) for an Adult or YA novel that takes inspiration from "The Green Ribbon." #mswl

While everyone fights for Three Houses, give me Radiant Dawn.I will write the Micaiah and Sothe story we all need in our lives.
Also, may I suggest Roller Coaster Tycoon and/or Zoo Tycoon, but make it horror. twitter.com/gildedspine/st…
You know, I don't really want to write Roller Coaster Tycoon Horror, but I want to read it, so if you have MG or YA amusement park horror, please send it to me. #mswl.

My SFF feelings apply to YA, too -- although in YA I am more open to Contemporary Fantasy/Paranormal than I am in Adult.
In YA and MG, I'm really looking for everything and anything, but lately my tastes have skewed more Contemporary. #MSWL
