Re: Young Adult Literature, I still don't get it (a rant)

[inkdust]

I guess I'm the only one in this thread who doesn't get why the idea of this genre is so ridiculous. It's just categorizing by age of protagonist and themes related to that age.

[caecilia]

I'm actually neutral to it/find it kind of fascinating. Most of what I write could probably be in that category (idk if I'd call it a genre). It's kind of interesting--I wrote a paper about this--YA used to be considered "just for kids" but Harry Potter, then Twilight and The Hunger Games kind of made it a big deal that they could appeal to adults too, and now you have adult literature kind of trying to imitate the conventions of young adult lit, but at the same time it's kind of a natural evolution. It's like all the fun and adventure of YA, but you don't have to feel guilty about finding the characters hot.

But I also think it's kind of funny (NEW ADULT! It's like New Coke!) and I wanted to see OP's reaction. (Nothing against you seventh_seal, I've enjoyed our conversations in both of these threads.)

That makes sense to me. It does sound silly as a genre name, and I'm not sure it has enough to stand as its own genre, but part of me is pleased by the idea because I generally write for an audience of 18-25 and sometimes I feel like my characters and subject matter don't really have a home.

Same here. It actually makes a lot of sense to me, especially for fans of YA who would like to read similar fiction with more mature themes.
