Ep. 4: YA vs. Adult SFF (Is There A Difference?)
Join host Adrian M. Gibson and FanFiAddict’s Tori Gross, Paige Harris and Justin Gross for our very first FanFiAddict family panel, where we delve into YA vs. Adult SFF. As we each come from different backgrounds and have different experiences with YA, we wanted to know if there really is a difference between the two. Where do the lines blur? Are genre classifications even useful? What does YA offer that Adult SFF doesn’t? During the panel, we discuss all of that and more, including SFF and contemporary YA, queer representation and diversity, misconceptions about YA and our hopes for the future of the genre.
