This is very interesting!

Judging by your initial description, I should love cozy SFF (and do, if you consider, say Robin McKinley's Chalice or Sunshine or maybe even UKL's Tehanu as cozy SFF). I absolutely LOVE the idea of lower-stakes situations, community-building, and focus on domestic labor.

But most of what's being published now doesn't work for me--it feels too twee? Like the emotions and worldbuilding aren't deep or nuanced enough? I want more to chew on! I feel very "I waws rooting for you!" when I see what's published now--I want to like it, but I don't.
