This exchange w @fozmeadows & @alisoncroggen reminds me that I wrote COLD FIRE in part to chronicle awakening female sexual desire, 1st pov.
.@KateElliottSFF I guess I find it ironic that I could never write an autiobio version of my teenage life that would be deemed fit for YA.

@fozmeadows I haven't read it but Holly Black's latest seems to deal with teenage sexuality in an honest, forthright way. -
@KateElliottSFF@fozmeadows it really, really does. Also, I think Steph Perkins is particularly adept at that. - Show replies

@fozmeadows And this isn't just a problem in YA in terms of policing women's sexuality. -
@KateElliottSFF Oh, completely. It's part of why I really want to write an epic fantasy with explicit, positive sex scenes in it. - Show replies

@fozmeadows@KateElliottSFF The state of YA is consistent with the treatment of the young on society more generally (minus criminality...)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
