Um. Okay, posting this not because you should consider me a serious potential submitter but because it might be useful info.
1) I find "kick-ass chicks" sort of offputting because it sounds like you're asking for the Movie Heroine Cliche -- woman who can beat stuff up, but it's still okay to minimize her and call her cute things with sexualized overtones, because she's still not entirely deserving of respect.
2) The phrasing "settings that haven't been used a zillion times by everyone else" makes it sound like you're asking for happy shiny Cultural Appropriation, rather than "well-researched culturally-sensitive depictions of underrepresented groups."
Which I doubt is accurate, so y'might want to reconsider that.
