Some of the first vampire myths and folktales actually come from non-white / western cultures so ☺️🧛🏾♀️ twitter.com/elleonwords/st…Speaking of which this would make a super fascinating book like reading vampirism myths and folktales around the world and studying vampires x race relations so someone should write it and send to me cause I so see the potential #mswl. My list is gonna be so weird and I’m ready

There's always something so fun about genre novels that explore the regular people who live alongside the supernatural. Their frustrations.IE: Patrick Ness' brilliant The Rest Of Us Just Live Here.
Like, there's a familiar in What We Do In the Shadows who is like 80+ years old, and is still saying "any day now."
Imagine a father figure in a YA novel who is a familiar, and his wildly frustrated family. Does the teen become a slayer?
Anyhow, send this to me someone. #MSWL

I've been watching the TV adaptation of What We Do in the Shadows (it's brilliant), and I'm just obsessed with the world of the familiars, the humans serving the vampires.
I would DEVOUR a vampire novel from the perspective of familiar. Who is maybe tired of waiting? #MSWL

Apparently no one wants any more vampires and werewolves but like I want more. I want queer vamps/wolves, POC ones, queer POC ones, trans/non-binary ones.You're not sick of vamps/wolves, you're sick of seeing the same ones over and over again. There's a diff. 🤷🏻♀️
Want #MSWL

@kuangrf she's been vampire hunting for decades, and now these jiliguala youth think they know what they're about, but they do not, and all unburied things cause trouble for the living. pic.twitter.com/A4HHadNsWemostly this entire thread that is rapidly getting out of hand with publisher duels & puppies but also a genuine #mswl for the general concept of an old school auntie vampire hunter—if we can have 25 van helsing adaptations we can have 25 of this!

#mswl 2019: YA Paranormal: I want a big vampire or werewolf book or paranormal series that feels new and different and unlike what we've seen before. And YA SFF unlike anything we've seen before. (5/13)

All this chatter about a vampire (and werewolf) comeback. I have thoughts...I like my supernatural, human-but-not characters. But I’d love some new takes—not the resurrecting of classics that worked the last time around. Let’s see new perspectives get a bite at that apple.
Okay, writers! THIS is what we mean when we say we're open to creatures with a new twist. New styles and storylines of vamps? I'm down for that #MSWL

Yeah this whole thread is #mswl. I'm trying to think about arranged marriages/dates in a vampire family. The church boys my mom tried to throw at me...vampire mama would be uber-meddlesome.

On the flip side—where were the vampire clans w/ gossip grapevines populated by nosy aunties who’ve been around for centuries and hold the pettiest grudges?“Aiya, remember what Ah Guan said about your aunt at that party in 1825? Don’t even THINK about talking to her daughter!”
TALK ABOUT A #MSWL!!!

I still really want to see more vampire romances in my inbox. And not just your standard Lestat type—I want fresh, unusual perspectives and plots that make me sit up and take notice. #MSWL
