One highlight of #jrw16: the #poemuseum in Richmond. Poe retellings are love. #mswl instagram.com/p/BLoJxdZDaXL/

Thanks to @whitleyabell, I'm now dying for a fantastical YA Harley Quinn retelling. #MSWL Someone send me this, please!

I'm on the hunt for unique retellings. The Odyssey, Edgar Allen Poe, Faust, Shakespeare? Contemporary, SFF, Horror? I want it all! #MSWL

Why has no one done a Pocahontas fantasy retelling yet?! Give me tribal fantasy! You've got it? I want it. Tweet me. #MSWL

Yeah, somebody bring me a YA retelling of this version of Persephone #MSWL

Another thing I'd love to see is an adaptation/retelling of a myth, fairy tale or legend. #MSWL

I love retellings, especially Shakespearean ones. #MSWL

Contemporary YA from the POV of the bad boy. Ex: Sebastian (Glee) or maybe even Chuck Bass (GG) without the problematic rape subplot. #MSWLDark, feminist fairy tale retelling. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter for YA (novel though, not stories). #MSWL

Oh! Also, my inbox could use more adaptations/retellings of fairy tales/myths/folklore -- stories we think we know, but with a twist! #MSWL

#MSWL: Greek-Retellings in YA. (I'll love you forever if it's Cupid & Psyche or Orpheus & Eurydice...)

I love retellings, but I want them to take on the original through an aggressively different lens: queer, feminist, gender-swapped... #MSWL

Fairy tale retelling with a dark twist (think Angela Carter's stories from THE BLOODY CHAMBER) @MsMariaVicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation
