Jennie Goloboy @JennieGoloboy

I absolutely believe you can write deep, thoughtful sci-fi and fantasy with lovable characters and a happy ending. Exhibit 1: Terry Pratchett. #mswl

Yes please! I've been wanting books with an abundance of fun and heart and happy endings more than ever lately #mswl

Forbidden Art Hacks(tm) @CryptoCrystals

hot take but you write gay relationships the same way you write straight ones. You don't HAVE to get into the "facing the hardships of being a same-gender couple" aspect in your fiction. I would encourage you not to anyway bc im tired of gay tragedy i want happy lesbians, Harold

Today's #MSWL, happy lesbians

I really want to work on a darkly humorous Baba Yaga story. That’s all I ask. #MSWL

For those of you interested in ever attending one of these, here's my Nashville Vampire Diaries convention... fb.me/1WGlLOqcB

Wait. What. These exist?! Who is coming with me? On a related note, give me all your vampires #MSWL Who cares if it’s supposedly dead...isn’t that the point of vampires anyway 😊

This was a real show in Japan about a Samurai who refused to kill a cat he was hired to kill. I had to post the extremely good promo gallery for Twitter. pic.twitter.com/122PrHP7C0

Things I am craving:
-Peanut butter cookies
-To watch all the Disney movies in order
-A rich, atmospheric mystery with ties to a big event/time period in history #MSWL

Mystery

Thao Le @ThaoLe8

BUT I want to see some modern magic realism, and some contemporary fantasy (think portal magic, magical bakeries/flower shops, lighthearted time travel in the vein of the movie About Time). Again, more modern/contemporary and less urban fantasy. #mswl

Yes, please send @ThaoLe8 all of these things (especially POC) when she reopens in a few weeks so I can buy it all from her. K thanks, bye! #mswl

Mishell Baker 🌈 @mishellbaker

What I want to see more of in fiction/film: positive non-familial male/female relationships with zero sexual tension.

Yes, this! #MSWL #SFF

Ibi Zoboi @ibizoboi

We love Martin & Malcolm, of course. But what abt Marcus? There are virtually no mainstream pub'd children's books abt Marcus Garvey & the Back to Africa Movement & the Black Star Line. Why not? Malcolm's parents were Garveyites.

Replying to @ibizoboi

I would LOVE a Marcus Garvey book for @LEEandLOW. #MSWL

Kiki Nguyen @kianangu

I am ashamed to say that it never occurred to me to want "black swan but w/figure skaters" until @thedaysbetween and I am totally ashamed. Y'all this is a #MSWL call!

✨also it's gotta be full on queer

Yesss. This. #mswl

Hey, someone sell me the book that could have a cover like these images: victormosquera.com/#/odesza/ (#mswl)

· 22 Feb 2018

I'm just going to own it and say: I would read the hell out of a women's fiction novel based on Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir. #MSWL

I'm still on the hunt for #Christian/#Ispy #YA fantasy and contemporary. If you see your story on my #MSWL, I'd love to hear from you! anaiahpress.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/new…

Elders who contribute meaningfully, whose experience & wisdom are respected. Collective policymaking (even in monarchies).

Just because Western (esp. American) narratives default to youthful, heroic individualism doesn’t mean it’s the only way to build a protagonist.

Domesticated species, architecture, etc. that make sense for the terrain/biome depicted. Even—or rather, especially—in #SFF, consistency in worldbuilding makes a story that much better.

Yes, I want more battle rhinoceroses. I admit it. #MSWL

· 19 Feb 2018

Addendum: anger that masquerades as love, as idealism. Characters who persuade themselves of the righteousness of their own cause, who rationalize extremism born of a seed of compelling truth—because that’s how it so often begins.

You know what I’m talking about.

Different types of love & loyalty at war with each other, esp within the same person. Romantic love. Familial love. Love of country. Love for one’s people. Love for the downtrodden.

Love is stronger than hate, and opposing loves often make the most powerful conflicts.
#SFF #MSWL

Beautifully choreographed fight scenes that advance plot, develop character, and worldbuild.

Yes, #BlackPanther has the advantages of a visual medium. It’s harder in prose fiction, but it can be done so, so well. (See @FondaJLee.)
