i need YA to be better written and I need full grown adults to stop recommending me YA. these two things are related.
#like i dont hate YA because its the only thing recommended to me
#but its a close fucking thing
#my relationship with current YA fiction trends.......bad. horrid. im ready to kill.
#theres some good shit out there and then the rest is copy cat
#and i knooooowwwwwww YAs whole thing is coming of age
#but they need to write better coming of age novels. everything coming out rn is swaddling the demographic. nothing is brave.
#'YA isn't a genre stop talking about it like a genre' YA both is and is not a genre
#at its core it is a marketing demographic
#and it should not be treated as a genre like fantasy or horror
#however. YA novels have defining tropes and themes and characteristics that draw a sharp line between YA fiction and regular fiction
#not only based on the age of the protagonists which is honestly the least relevant thing in a YA novel (fuck you my YA lit course)
#but the a) POV b) character arcs
#and c) context and tone
#reading a YA novel as an adult i cant connect with the characters like i can do with even a middle grade novel
#because the context and tone YA novels use to talk to the reader is so i dont wanna say patronizing but its like. im not with it.
#its like on the level but above it
#this has gotten off track. YA authors write less copy cat novels and start writing honestly. or die by my hand.
