Tansu YEĞEN @TansuYegen

They are becoming more realistic https://twitter.com/i/status/1665054316384616451

Why are they making them look human? What is the purpose for doing this? What's the end game here?

AI is going to be the death of us!

Also, #MSWL this realistic robot but w/a wild twist to the plot/story I don't see coming & is completely different from anything out there.

I'm half watching a show while multitasking, and now I would love to #MSWL an enemies to lovers story, but with an elderly couple, with all the fireworks and fun and issues that go along with life at that age. I'm talking 70/80 year-olds, and I'm talking romcom.

Again, these are just the manuscripts I’d be super interested in, and this is not an exhaustive list, so I hope you’ll query me!

Also, I've done a terrible job of threading these - somewhere along the line, I got messed up - but they all have #MSWL attached. 😁

In all things, I love enemies to lovers, enemies to friends, lovers in denial, reluctant heroines/heroes, underdogs, close family bonds, faux baddie, I’m missing a ton, but there’s only so much space – I love a lot and the premise and strong writing will be what hook me. #MSWL

In horror, I’m looking for stories that lean slightly literary and are strange/weird in a disconcerting, unsettling kind of way, where the MC can never get their bearings in their world because society or the laws or people/monsters, etc. are super unusual or disturbing. #MSWL

Strange family legends, strange towns, strange and atmospheric worlds, strange societies, strange laws, perhaps even dystopian, but leans literary. #MSWL

Military sci/fi – yes, that’s right, I enjoy military sci/fi – would love to see it. (Planetside, The Misfit Soldier, as recent examples). #MSWL

Regency and Victorian era romance by BIPOC authors, in addition to romance from other countries during this time period (approximately 1811-1901). For example, Rebel (Women who Dare) by Beverly Jenkins, and the forthcoming Ana Maria and The Fox by Liana De La Rosa. #MSWL

Rom coms with all the laughs and fun, especially secret identities/swaps, nerdy romcoms with gamers, librarians, engineers, archivists, romantic interests trapped together in some way, twins and twins – can you imagine the fun with this one! #MSWL

Sweeping and gut-wrenching romance where it’s almost impossible for the couple to be together, where somehow they’re always separated (beyond their control), while being so madly in love, (example, forbidden romance, war-torn worlds). #MSWL

Cozies, mysteries (and even thrillers) set in unique spaces and worlds (frozen tundra, desert, on an oceanic station, in space, and so on), with unique murders and mysteries to solve and clever and lovable characters we can’t help but root for. #MSWL

Science fiction that blends with another genre (example: romance, horror, fantasy, mystery, thriller). #MSWL

Science fiction with technology that will terrify humans and potentially make them extinct. #MSWL

I'd love to see science fiction and fantasy with societal and political intrigue that puts the protagonist into impossible situations that they must then cleverly prevail from. #MSWL
