Guys, I'd REALLY love a YA Altered Carbon—a super-futuristic urban sci-fi that discusses the ethical/moral implications behind technological advancement because I am OBSESSED. #MSWL

I absolutely believe you can write deep, thoughtful sci-fi and fantasy with lovable characters and a happy ending. Exhibit 1: Terry Pratchett. #mswlYes please! I've been wanting books with an abundance of fun and heart and happy endings more than ever lately #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.

#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...

In adult SF/F, i am very interested in emic worldbuilding. Make me believe the universe in terms of the people in it. Not from me, live reader in 2018 #MSWL

There are so many things about Black Panther that I loved, but one of my favorites was the depth of the worldbuilding, and how we saw what life was like without the influence of colonization. I would love to see a SFF project that grapples with similar questions. #MSWL

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.

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.)
