Otter attempts the infamous 2160° zoomie and pulls it off flawlessly. 14/10. pic.twitter.com/LVKMCieKVH

The adorableness is unreal. Otter Olympics perhaps?? #MSWL

Daybreak @daybreak

So what’s life like in the apocalypse? It’s never what you’d expect. Find your tribe, grab your swords, and get ready to take on some Ghoulies. Daybreak comes to Netflix on October 24. pic.twitter.com/QiTReggzAS

i want this chaotic energy in book form, please!!! #mswl

“Hell is a teenage girl”—PLEASE, someone send me a queer, feminist, campy horror novel in the vein of Jennifer’s Body, which I just watched for the first time (because that original marketing campaign, yikes) and omg. #MSWL

Dear literary agents, please send me historical mysteries + international mysteries with great hooks and voices we haven’t heard before. Thanks! #mswl

General #MSWL stuff: magic/spells gone wrong, ghosts, resurrections, possessions, the end of the world scenarios, characters who get themselves into weird/messed up situations that push them to their emotional limits, & friendship stories, especially friendships that ended badly.

I’m not much of a horror fan, but it just struck me that I’d love to see a YA along the lines of IT FOLLOWS. Something scary as hell that addresses teen sexuality (but is sex-positive, not moralizing) #mswl

Dawn of the Deadlines @kendrawcandraw

Hate when I fall in love with the man of my dreams only for him to insist upon asking about the green ribbon around my neck

Can someone please write a YA gothic horror novel with a simmering f/f romance about the green ribbon girl? I want it soooooo bad #MSWL

Agents, send me stories with nonlinear narratives, please! I love the way foreshadowing can be done with non-chronological timelines, and how knowing the ending can make me all the more drawn into the story. #MSWL

Ok agents. Give me some MG or YA journalist books in which kids on their school papers learn what it really means to be fair and balanced. The power of the press is real and amazing; let’s show young readers its might and its responsibility. #MSWL
