YA sf = Dystopia?

[rachelmanija]

I found a fascinating blog entry by Rahul Kanakia, the guy who wrote the bedbugs-and-squatters story, with a gay teenage Indian hero (yay!), for Diverse Energies. (I see elsewhere on the site that "I'm currently shopping a gay-themed YA novel -- set in a dystopian Washington, D.C. -- to agents." I hope it sells. Depressing or not, I would read it

I've long had a hankering to do a YA SF that has actual spaceships and aliens and adventure and optimism and handwavium-style science...

Dooooo eeeeeet. You know you want to. You would if you loved me.

Wait. You don't even know me. Maybe cheap teenage peer pressure will be completely ineffective.

Still. Audience of one!
