What I like to see more of in fantasy?
Whimsy, Light-heartedness, Wonder, and some Fun with your fantasy (don't be so serious like with Harry Potter).

Curiously in Blue Horizon, characters are able to mix together their elemental magic via their cores. There's a mysterious theme of the sunlight and ocean waters mixing. 👀
Relatedly, Antonio Chandrani-Rivera is an ocean-shadow [moon] mage and Alejandro Altaha is a sun mage. #SeptemberWorldbuilders

Within Blue Horizon, in reality when ultra-ancient Earth began being populated by Elementals, humans feared mages of the Sun and the Dark most. Both Sun mages and Darkness mages were considered highly alien and un-Earthian, i.e., unlike that of water, fire, earth, air, etc.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders, how are y'all doing? Tell me about things in your world that represent light or darkness. Do you have any magic, myths, gods, spirits, animals, etc. that embody light or darkness? Either literally or figuratively? Tell me about them!

A dark, secretive place focal in Blue Horizon is the Chandrani caves!
The Protector and the Annihilation—the already-released first book of Blue Horizon—starts with Part 1's cast seemingly sighting Antonio Chandrani-Rivera within.
Reflects a vital location in the Boundless. #SeptemberWorldbuilders

![Excerpt from The Protector and the Annihilation:
A young man stood in a faraway time. There was too much Armando couldn’t comprehend about him; he could only comprehend, for the briefest instant, Ranvir’s utter confusion mixing with his.
In the blue-bright darkness of the Chandrani caves, he seemed to be dying. Amid the mystical waters that would always pool throughout the caves shone fractal light onto every surface around them, there was an obscured humanoid body lying by the young man’s feet, with a strange reddish glow cast over their entirety. Like they were being hidden away.
The young man’s eyes focused directly on the two of them—irises glowing the eerie fuchsia of any true red-eyed human being. The refracted blue light from the mystical waters shone upon the blood that soaked him, splotchy, dark and trickling, trailing down his mouth and down his stomach. While the man looked indigenous of either Nelavenir or the Guardian regions’ people since the eons-ago era galactic-worthy Earthians had begun to settle across the planet, something that—couldn’t be—flashed before Armando’s eyes—a vision, like a memory atop of a memory—of a black woman, smiling directly at him, with the sun nearly obscuring his vision if not for the Hermakhet Mountain towering high so far away, its skies a perpetual dawn-like cast till the fall of night.

Had to think long and hard about this one, as there were a lot of ways I could have answered it. However, I guess the one thing I love to see most in writing is when everything ties back to a central theme, motif or idea.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 30: I like seeing characters' day-to-day lives. Do they have to wait while boiling well water? Are there dead pixels on the "window"? What's their favourite thing to order at the diner down the street? What colour is the sky over the port?

I definitely like seeing characters in non-traditional occupations step into the role of hero/MC. It’s part of the reason FWC revolves around Kai, a healer.
Give me more of that! We need folks from non-heroic roles stepping up to save the day!

Specifically about Science Fiction:
In general, I want Science Fiction to care as much about its narrative constraints and what those constraints do for a story as Fantasy does about constraining magic so it doesn't kill the stakes of the story. 1/6

I like the level of worldbuilding where there are unexplained/unexplored areas. Something for me to have fun with. What's beyond the desert? kinda thing.
I like narration with an opinion. Unreliable is great, but does the narrator think what is happening is BS?

Characters: a smart, mortally gray villain, and the reluctant hero.

Time travel is one of my favourite tropes, but I can get picky about it.
Broadly speaking, in fantasy, I love worlds that feel properly otherworldly, with elements that are just completely unlike our world, that to the people of the world are just the norm.
