I'm excited to share an updated #MSWL 🧵 as we move towards 2024

Millennial rom-com: dating apps, zoom dates, and social media – it’s wild out there. I’d love a story that explores how to navigate dating/finding love as a 20 or 30 something. Millennial Bridget Jones please!

For romcoms, give me a cozy town (think Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls), witty banter, and some chemistry, and I’m all over it. I’m fond of enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, and grumpy/sunshine.

Normally I am not a sports romcom type of person, but as someone who used to fence, I would love to see a romcom centered around fencing #mswl 🤺

Like it could be a Dark Fantasy or a Speculative Thriller, or an Ensemble Bottle Episode Mystery, or a Heisty Puzzle Solver, or a gloebtrotting Adventurous Romp or a Warm & Fuzzy Rom-Com... but critically... whatever the vibe is I want THE MOST VIBES WE CAN HANDLE.

making this a thread of stray #mswl thoughts/updates/niche requests - not such a niche one this time, but despite loving books where people eat each other I also truly do love LOVE, specifically com-heavy-rom coms with a proper Nora Ephron style dryness to them

3. Romance like EVERY SUMMER AFTER. Also, anything to do with past lives, soulmates, time travel, second-chance romance, etc. Light spice. I also like romcoms.
