Are there zombie apocalypse stories where people are generally kind, supportive, and collaborative with one another? It seems more realistic (and more enjoyable to read/watch).If you have building-utopia-in-apocalypse stories (although I'd prefer climate apocalypse to zombie), #MSWL.

Rewatching She-Ra again is reminding me of how very much I love sentient planets/planetary magic, like this and what NK Jemisin does in THE STONE SKY. Give me all your conscious magic planets. #MSWL (attn @laurenbanka you should probably know this)Also included in this is SF with planetary hivemind organisms or ecological emergent properties. #MSWL

OK, time for the fun part of being open to queries again: #MSWL. Here's some specific things I'd love to find. (This isn't everything though! I'm open to anything great that's adult SFF.)A big-idea philosophical abolitionist SF. Think THE DISPOSSESSED. Show me a world where how we address violence and harm is totally different, and what stories that engenders. (I really, really want this, but it really, really, no kidding, has to be great to work.) #MSWL

Friends, I'm open to queries as of now. (With the help of the wonderful @laurenbanka.) Adult SFF queries only. Email query letter only to queryHannah [at] LizaDawson [dot] com. I'll share some #MSWL thoughts later today…

Yes, romance is great but have you ever fantasized about the possibilities of a platonic love story, like an epic fantasy where a celibate monk and a princess team up to save their kingdom, become best friends, and don’t end up together at the end? Pretty sure it can’t beat that.Wait can I have this? I honestly want this #MSWL

My suggestion, make a sci fi crime drama show about future NYC where there are no police as we now know them. (Except detectives, but even they would be different.)Show the various agencies and community group that deal with crimes.
I mean #MSWL honestly.

I always find it interesting that every sci-fi mil author ends up picking a branch of the military and bases all of the content around that specific branch; one has to wonder why we pick just one branch as our frame of reference, considering how different space combat is.I’m going to jump off this thread to say that if you have milSF that deals with various military branches and the rivalries between them, I am SO interested. #MSWL
