I fully support this. Also, if you've got something similar in YA/MG, HIT ME WITH IT. #MSWL

Happy Allydays @AllyMalinenko

In the 1870's roving gangs of young boys were paid to set bonfires all over NYC on Election Day. Where's is this book, writer people? #MSWL

Very much this, please and thank you. #MSWL

(One day before I leave this Earth, someone is going to put a Black woman or girl atop a dragon. She will fly & 🔥🐉. And I will LIVE, honey.)

Definitely on my #MSWL. Definitely definitely. (YA/MG)

Ooh, @SarahAddisonAll's Peach Keeper is $1.99 on Kindle amzn.to/2tIH3qe & Nook barnesandnoble.com/w/peach-keeper… Magical realism at its finest

#MSWL I'm dying to find great magical realism (YA/MG). One of my fave writers is Sarah Addison Allen, so like her books but for teens.

A Cinderella retelling where the shoe is a murder weapon, Cinderella's gone rogue, and the prince is the lead investigator.

Stephanie Burgis 🐲 @stephanieburgis

I so desperately want to see heroes & heroines dealing w/ illness/disability & triumphing. NOT burdens but people fighting their own battles

Mental illness as well. #MSWL

I have no idea how you'd turn this into a YA/MG story, but #MSWL to anyone who succeeds.

Your reminder that "California" is named for a fictional island of griffin-riding Amazonian black women in a 15th C. Spanish fantasy novel.

Um, yes please. #MSWL #YA

Akshay Tailor @AksTailor

Gashadokuro are giant skeletons made from those who died of starvation. They kill lone travelers to drink their blood #folklorethursday pic.twitter.com/6GvIJcblzU

An mg horror novel about this would be epic. #MSWL (Preferably #ownvoices)

Lucy Coats @lucycoats

Also, meet the water-sucking Ryujin, a Japanese sea god dragon, who controls tides & has turtles as his messengers. #folklorethursday pic.twitter.com/GPGABwXBSl

Using sea turtles as your messengers would be awesome. Maybe even cooler than owls. #HPHeresy #MSWL

heidi heilig @heidiheilig

hey if white folks are allowed to write "greek myth inspired" fantasy, asians are sure as hell allowed to write "asian inspired fantasy."

I'd much rather see fantasy by writers from nonwhite cultures than more Greek/European fantasy that has been done to death. #MSWL #ownvoices
