Happy belated Valentine's Day, wonderful sine! Pretend that this wolf pup is saying that to you:
I am EXTREMELY into all the prompts you gave. Extremely. I hope some of them have been filled and all of them will be filled eventually because we as a fandom need all of them.
I love that baseball made its way onto the list as someone who likes baseball (nowadays, very casually, but I'm watching it more than I used to before the world...got the way it did and it's been enjoyable to watch). :) I want more baseball stuff! Unfortunately, I haven't written any, but hellogarbagetime made this fanart. I'm not sure if you saw it before, but I wanted to share it because hopefully you'll like it and my rambling. You can tell how dated it is by the players mentioned.
For LGBT sci-fi/fantasy, have you read Rebecca Roanhorse's Black Sun yet? It's the first book in a trilogy, and the second installment is going to come out in a few months. Don't let the bland title, cover, and summary deter you. I let it deter ME for the longest time, but I read it and it scratched that high fantasy itch I had in such a satisfactory way. I'm going to copy and paste what Goodreads said because I realized I was going to say pretty much the same thing: It's this cinematic story "inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic." Two of the protagonists are queer women!
All the nonfiction I read last year happened to be memoirs and essay collections, but I recall you recommending me Debt by David Graeber last year in your stocking comment. I seriously need to get to that book and this might be the year! Anyway, the reason I'm bringing that up is that David Graeber came out with another big book with a co-author (posthumously unfortunately as he sadly passed away unexpectedly last year) called The Dawn of Everything, and it's a huge hit. It's a massive tome, but the premise sounds so intriguing and promises to shake up our assumptions and widely-accepted notions of how society came to be. I think you'll like it so even though I haven't read it yet myself, I'm recommending it haha.
