Oh wait-- one more bizarrely specific #MSWL from me:

I'd love to read a historical or Regency farce set on social media. The scandal! The games of gossip telephone! The social climbing! I'm talking Georgette Heyer with groupchats and softblocks.

Oh hey it's #MSWL day! Here's a link to my new shiny page. TLDR: I want adult fiction that stretches my imagination, and connects me back to big chewy ideas in the real world. Fresh speculative fiction, philosophical SFFH, ambitious satires.

This isn’t a spider, but an effigy that a spider has built out of debris to represent a huge version of itself

No body knows why this spider in the Philippines sculpts a decoy or how 11000 miles away in the Amazon, another spider does the same

Researchers have turned dead spiders into necrobotic grippers capable of lifting items that weigh more than 100 times their own body weight. pic.twitter.com/GHYaJSXF5H

#MSWL for SF based around bizarre, biological technologies, OR science nonfiction exploring the future of these kinds of biotechnologies.

I’m so serious, if you have a novel that involves a cosmic horror minding its business, and it’s also math, DM me

Sunday #MSWL: I'm DYING to represent an abolitionist procedural or mystery. Justice in resistance to the police/prison state, and/or the pursuit of justice in a place without police/prisons.

Adult fiction or NNF, speculative elements welcome. DMs open!

Vampires kill people and raise them back from the dead (as more vampires), and are therefore Necromancers.

Werewolves have transformation sequences and their stories usually revolve around self-discovery, and are therefore Magical Girls.

In this essay, I will...

#MSWL for magical girl werewolves ✨🐺

If you’re working on a book about abortion providers, DM me. Especially abortions provided outside the medical system, and abortion networks in the context of other radical organizing. Fiction or nonfiction.

Oh I forgot the magic tag. #MSWL for books about abortion providers and abortion provider networks. Fiction or nonfiction. Less Handmaid's Tale, more Jane Collective.
