ok. y'all know what I want? a series of interconnected romantasies like Lisa Kleypas's Wallflowers series ... but make it speculative. same level of heat and drama and character development, but just add magic. not sequels! interconnected standalones. this is my #1 dream #mswl

desperately looking for a speculative upmarket circus novel, maybe with some fantasy elements – The Night Circus vibes, pls! I have wanted this for years 😭 #mswl

okay. okay wait. okay. bear with me........... #mswl

a speculative new gilded age and the folk hero outlaws of the evolving modern era ????? oh good god let us cook, someone give it to me

someone please please PLEASE give me an upmarket speculative novel set in a travelling circus. a slightly more literary, fresh new take on THE NIGHT CIRCUS. bonus points if strong sense of aesthetic or historical anchoring. pls!!! #mswl

idk this is kind of a #mswl vibe … liminal spaces … nineties neon coding … speculative horror … mmm yes

- speculative fiction
(I prefer grounded, literary sci-fi + fantasy. few secondary worlds, but rather our world steeped in liminal magic and/or technology. anything creepy, toothy, gritty, strange, something that sends a shiver down your spine.)
- steampunk everything

#mswl

late night #mswl but things I would love to see more of in my inbox:

- speculative circuses and carnivals, esp with a historical/gothic thread
- *actual* dark academia, not just campus settings
- cowboys, esp if ft. gothic vibes
- cli-fi horror

thank youuuuuu 👻💕

once again cannot express how much I want a literary speculative fiction novel about Silicon Valley vampires

Woman, Eating meets Bad Blood meets whatever the fuck this guy is doing #mswl

honestly? #mswl for a grounded/speculative story featuring an Ellen Ripley-esque character at its heart: a working mother (in this house Alien: Isolation *is* canon, tyvm), full of grit and tenacity, *excellent* at her job, no romantic ties to speak of, a utility-fashion icon,,,

is it weird if I say I want to read a speculative novel, similar to the evolution of the Goncharov meme, where a collective unreality is collaborated on by a wide and disparate community, until eventually the lines between what's true and what isn't are thoroughly blurred #mswl

I'm trying to put my #mswl together for y'all but every time I write something I want to read I get way too specific about it

like yes please I would like a queer retelling of the Morrígan myth set during the Irish War of Independence with speculative magic vibes
