i'd love a story that adequately reflects what i call as "background app battery drain" IRL. for me it's monitoring my blood sugar. there are countless others (microaggressions come to mind) but i'd like a moment that reveals a constant others may not know goes on #YA #MG #MSWL

i am THIRSTY for some stories that play with visuals. not strictly graphic novels or illustrated #MG or #YA but something that feels fresher in a way i don't even know what that means! agents, i'd love to talk about any ideas you have about something like this, too! #mswl

i've reached the point where i'm itching for a FUN #MG or #YA submission. i'm down for a spiral into something fascinating but it has to be within a plot with adventure, hijinx, but most importantly, i want to laugh and enjoy the ride. #MSWL

Can I please have a #YA with a convo like the one in @sexeducation when Maeve shows Jackson her trailer and they open up to each other. Also i love this show so much. #mswl

Related: can i still have a #YA with a scene where all the teen girls support each other and claim to be the subject of a leaked sext like in @sexeducation? Or a similar female-supporting-female scene. #mswl

I don’t naturally gravitate to teen, but could someone PLEASE send me a #YA of EVERYTHING SUCKS? That scene when she tore down JTT to put up Tori and Fiona posters gave me life. #mswl

Was just chatting with @KeriHoran about how millennials are going to spawn THE WORST kids. Like, imagine being a teen & crushin on someone & being able to creep on their Disney trip when they were 4. & geotag tells them they stood in the same line in Epcot. #MSWL #YA

I would love a speculative or fantasy #YA #MG that is actually contemp--because really horrors exist & aren't theoretical. #mswl

A #YA or #MG about a SJW being forced to see their own privilege/nuances-like a griff becoming a slytherin. #mswl

(this is v half baked)

I would love a #MG or #YA about a protag obsessed with physics, esp since I know so little of the subject. #MSWL

I'd really love to work on a #YA non fic about the War on Drugs akin to The New Jim Crow. Any leads would be so appreciated. #MSWL
