I want to make myself a colourbar. Or icon. I realise this is fairly tragic but I had this great idea for one...

Anyway, I have to put in SYWTBAW, Tammy, TDiR, Earthsea... is there any other YA fantasy that I HAVE TO HAVE ON OMG? HP is not under consideration. :P

ETA: Okay, so I have SYWTBAW, Tammy, TDiR, Earthsea, Narnia, HDM and L'Engle, which is seven. Hmm, now I have to find appropriate coloured book covers. And of course get photoshop *eyeroll*

Ya think McCaffrey's an adult writer????? Pshaw, good woman, pshaw!

Still, I see your point ;-)

Oooh, read Shardik. Seriously.

Yes, actually. She does not write for or about teenagers and her books are not widely read teensage fantasy- well, they are widely read by teenagers, but most of them i would not classify as fantasy and the rest are not for teenagers nor do they offer anything specifically different for teenagers, which I think the other ones do.

If you're talking complexity, well, that's different again.

I'd dispute that the dragonsinger series could be anything but teenage fantasy, myself

Oh, well, its my opinion not yours,obviously. :)

I think they have elements. But no. But I mean, in some ways you're sort of too old for teenage fantasy, kinda... it sorta really kicked off a bit later. There's child fantasy, and adult fantasy, but I think teen fantasy is a very specific genre, relatively recent- like last 20 year- genre. Earthsea might not even fit, but I would leave it in 'cause it's a staple. I probably should have the Hobbit, that said. *shrug*
