After DM's earlier post on YA, I got to thinking that it really isn't much different from a lot of bestseller "beach reads." Not hard to read or too literary. The main difference is that the books aren't as long (better to make a series that way too). Also I think that since YA is considered a genre, you can write a YA fantasy or SF book and not have it wind up in those genre ghettoes or be sneered at by people who "don't read that stuff."
