Is this (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=149) what you're looking for?
You're right, Young Wizards isn't a fandom of mine, although Diane Duane is. The first book of hers I remember reading (about 20 years ago) was a Star Trek novel "The Wounded Sky", which I remember enjoying enough to note the author's name. In fact, looking at her bib, I appear to have read and/or own most of her Star Trek output. I wonder how I missed the YW series? Oh, well, I'm going to the library tomorrow...
Yeah, but I was in a hurry, on my way to class, so I didn't have time to stop. (also why I didn't link the concordance although that probably wouldn't have taken me long.)
Thanks, anyway. :P
Oh, well, you should TOTALLY read them. You probably missed them because they're, you know, YA, but you could also try The Sword and the Dragon, which WCL definitely has although I don't know if it's available- you'll find it in adult sci fi, it's great. Or The Book of Night With Moon, which is a purportedly adult book set in the same 'verse as YW, although personally it hasn't ever struck me as having unusual, say, content levels for YA, whereas Sword, etc, is possibly a bit more adult focused (to the extent that DD actually warned me, before I read it, that it had "adult content." I laughed in her face- politely, of course. ;))
And after I read them I didn't think they were especially adult, and if you've read, say, Dear Miffy or indeed anything by john marsden you'll know that there is a lot of stuff in YA sections all over the world that's more explicit (except for this scene in... well, never mind)
