MSWL: Queer characters, scary bits, dark things that turn into a glimmer of hope. If your prose could potentially be described as lush, gimme it. If you feel like you've taken your character and rubbed salt into their worst wound, gimme that too. Does your character make a bad decision for what seems like the right reasons to them? I want to read about it.
