"Magic always comes with a price". I love consequences. So much of the fantasy I love is driven by characters make decisions and then dealing with the consequences of those actions.

I am obsessed with lady knights. We often see fantasy that is based off our Western courtly behavior. But I love inversions of that. So if even if your novel is not based in Western culture (and yay for that) show me the inversions of your world.

I love court intrigue fantasy. There is something so fascinating about people with power and they moves they do to keep that power. The psychology and code of behaviors is fascinating to see.

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

Good god! Make me a story with this girl. #MSWL

#mswl I'd also really love a fantasy similar to Tanya Huff's FIFTH QUARTER. Assassins, magic, forbidden romance, and conflicting loyalties, oh my!

Character driven fantasy. Something that feels new and different from everything else out there. #MSWL

I still need my witch book. But I am thinking less fantasy, more grounded low-fantasy. So CHARMED or PRACTICAL MAGIC. #MSWL

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

A new take on fantasy with steampunk elements or even gas lamp fantasy. Any takers? I'm open to all suggestions here! #MSWL

YA Fantasy involving a twisted circus ring leader and the people who are stuck performing underneath him. Give me darkness, witches, chained magic, and all the evil. ❤️ #MSWL

#MSWL Scifi or fantasy:I need the world fully explored/experienced by character.Give me color, mood, flavor.Not enough to just see the differences between this world and yours.Let me walk those streets,smell delicacies, be awed by towers, feel winged creature's wind on my face.

A quick note about my #MSWL - I am always excited to read new fantasy,but I am not currently looking for urban fantasy, or anything vampire/werewolf/fae.

I AM looking for new creatures/worlds/magic systems, new structures/societies,or less-often-seen societies made into fantasy.

Always #mswl for this in MG & YA. Historical fic, urban fantasy, and magical realism!

I'd like a MG Fantasy that features lesser-known creatures of myth and legend (be that because they don't figure as prominently in mythology, or because they are from traditions ignored by the European-centric literary canon). #mswl

#MSWL I'd love to sink into a SFF manuscript w/ a Caribbean focus. #Jamaica #Trinidad #Haiti #DominicanRepublic #PuertoRico #Cuba #Bahamas #authors #POC

#MSWL If you binge-watched "Altered Carbon" on Netflix and have a SFF mss full of jaw-dropping tech, cool characters, heart-thumping action, & tension that won't let go...

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
