I'd love to see some queer epic fantasy a la Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books. Adepts, big magic, sword-wielders, magical companions (I'm a secret horsegirl), and politics, oh my! #mswlQueer epic fantasy in the vein of Melanie Rawn (Dragon Prince or Exiles series) and CS Friedman (Coldfire trilogy) would also be fab. #mswl

Oh my god, there could be a whole series.
Thread Out --> sewing
Needles Out --> knitting
Scissors Out --> scrapping book? papercrafts?
Hooks Out --> crochet
Tats Out --> for tatting, hehehehe
Inks Out --> a tattoo convention!

@_LisaRodgers Needles Out.You're welcome.
Thread Out sounds more appropriate for me, because... Needles Out sounds like a knitting retreat, WHICH WOULD ALSO BE AWESOME. #mswl

Dear folks who write historicals,There was a lone (known) survivor on the Titanic who was of African descent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Ph…
I'm not saying you have to re-write this story into an HEA. I'm saying you can.
I have never wanted a #mswl more in my professional life.

#MSWL fantasy w/ a translator protag. There's so much power in language-- how they translate for a ruler effects a whole kingdom, eg. I want to see the nuances & consequences of deciding how & what to translate, word play between languages, times when translation falls shortThis is also on my #MSWL!

#MSWL I would love a political fantasy or SF novel that pays as much attention to the symbolic meaning of clothing, gestures, and etiquette as the Queen of England does her brooches, and the plot hinges on this. The Goblin Emperor meets Ancillary Sword, I suppose? twitter.com/SamuraiKnitter…This is also one thing I *LOVE* about CJ Cherryh's Foreigner series. #MSWL

#BroochDecoderRingThe following data relies heavily on the work of the blogger at "Her Majesty's Jewel Box". If you swing by there (I will be linking), BE ADVISED THE BLOGGER WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS POLITICAL STUFF THAT IS NOT WHY SHE IS THERE so take it easy.

I have a long-standing #mswl for RMS TItanic retellings. I was obsessed with it growing up: I listened to A Night to Remember at least 100 times, read the book more than once, played the computer game (yes, there's computer game!), etc. So, send me your Titanic-inspired ms!Also #mswl for Titanic in space!

Apparently I've moved from SEND ME YOUR SPACE BOOKS to SEND ME YOUR EPISTOLARY BOOKS. #MSWLMaybe you have an epistolary space book?
Oh man, a novel a la THE OLD EQUATIONS by Jake Kerr would be bomb.
Now that I've said it, I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT AN EPISTOLARY SPACE BOOK. #MSWL
