I do watch a LOT of reality TV and I'm interested in any project as addictive and bizarre as the current crop of dating shows.

I want to see every riff on the gothic. Reality show Gothic? yes. Gig work Gothic? hell yeah. I love creeping dread with a sense of play behind it.

Werewolves, IF:
-- incisive and theme-driven. if NIGHTBITCH were a beach read.
-- Old Thiess / hound of God vibes.

No alpha tropes, please.

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.

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!
