Baroque-Inspired Portraits Celebrate the Beauty of Black Girls’ Natural Hair: bit.ly/2hFb2Oi pic.twitter.com/GkbcxIRNovThis should be part of someone's mood board for an SFF. At this point, I don't even care what it's about. #mswl

if you are a writer looking for a new story or book project or thread to pull: let me suggest that you get ambitious about looking backwards for the women no one is talking about, whose stories have been obscured, twisted, forgotten, or told through a gaze that wasn't their ownJust add magic. #mswl

The “lunar gothic” style of architecture could be seen on every moon and asteroid in the solar system. We crafted dead rocks into castles of dark, lacy towers. Their stained glass windows glowed sky-blue in the light of the faraway sun, holding back the terror of living the void.hello I like this type of SF pls send #mswl

Dear YA,Stop saying certain genres are dead. I'm still waiting for my Black Witches. My Black shapeshifters, vampires, fairies, demon slayers. Hell I'm still waiting for my Black Love story. Also fluffy carefree fat girls.
There's a demand so make it happen
#MSWL ALL OF THIS 🙌🏼💜📚
I will read your Black witches/ shapeshifter/ vampire/ demon slayer manuscripts TOMORROW.

Concept: Werewolves with irregular shifting cycles“Yeah, I haven’t shifted in, like—“ *checks app* “—42 days? So I’m just chaining myself up in the basement every night, you know? A bit annoying, but it saves on mess.”

War disproportionately/differently impacts different populations w/in the same society. Veterans vs civilians, but also: different socioecon groups, industries (wartime vs peacetime economies), urban vs rural, ethnic minorities—esp ones w/ historic ties to "the enemy." #MSWL #SFFI see lots of books about kings, generals, &c.—the people who get to make decisions that shape a nation. But theirs aren't the only stories about war, nor always the most interesting—or necessary. (& history is full of great generals who became AWFUL peacetime leaders) #MSWL #SFF

Also, there are multiple narratives in any conflict. Whose story are you telling—and why? Is it the most interesting version of this war? Give me postwar occupation, colonialism-in-the-name-of-peace, refugees/displacement, war crimes trials, &c. #MSWL #SFF twitter.com/mary_c_moore/s…War disproportionately/differently impacts different populations w/in the same society.

My #VeteransDay #MSWL: we see a LOT of war in #SFF. I get it—fate of empires, epic battles—exciting stuff. But what about the aftermath? What happens when the veterans come home? Give me counseling centers, VA hospitals, retraining for civilian jobs, running for local office, &c.On a less individual scale—how does a nation shift from wartime to peacetime governance? Citizens will forgive a shocking amount of tyranny in the face of a clear foreign threat. Is the administration willing to give up those powers when the war ends? If not—what then? #MSWL #SFF

Inspired by #VeteransDay I'm hoping someone starts writing a military SF in the vein of Old Man's War/Forever War about our current culture of warfare. So much has changed since 1974 and 2005. What is war like now? #MSWLPeople of color represent 40% of active duty military and women make up 15%. What stories do you have to write? I want to read them. #MSWL #ownvoices
