D: Is My Expression Right Now

[catherinehaines]

Everywhere I go I see, in the YA sector, people going, “NO MORE VAMPIRES!” and other words to that effect.

Every time I see that, though, I just want to yell back, “BUT MINE AREN’T IN HIGH SCHOOL!”

Delia’s over eighteen for a reason people. Just as Daniel looks about twenty-five.

Definitely not in high school, y’all.

Oh, and mine also have

This. I've been writing a short story with the penetrative sex metaphor vampires involving a young girl in an effort to make them creepy and dangerous (because I want to make vampires unsafe again). Fun fun fun.

For me, the high school factor is a minor part. It's more that a lot of authors who previously didn't care about vampires at all are slapping fangs on their characters and making "vampire stories" because that's what's hot at the moment.

You obviously aren't doing that, because you have a love for the genre. But right now, there are so many copycats and half-assed writers doing supernatural YA, it's getting hard to wade through the sludge to the good stuff.
