Why not just make a YA version of Infinite Jest ?

Be a pioneer to introduce LGBT shit to YA. Makes one of the boys a non-binary genderfulid quasi-queer alien cyborg

>white
make her mixed race but only name her mix once so people can forget about it fast and picture her white.
>2. make her a sociopath
whatever her goal is it does not matter how many are caught in the crossfire. only remember them when you need drama. also nothing is ever MC's fault, someone made her do it, her world conspired to do it.
>setting
does not matter what the setting is. the future, the french court, everyone acts like they live in a suburbs and the king, top guy is a mean father
>evil
There is only 2 forms of evil, pure darkness and "bad guy" who will end up being a frenemy or was just an ass who was keeping away bigger evil
>Sex
no sex. kissing is ok, doing 1 fade to black is ok, never have a sex scene. I have seen 1000s of readers turns on a book.
>ddsfaesfsa
Im not feeling like thinking up all the shit that usually happens, if you have questions then ask them and I will tell you if it works or not. if we are just shitposting then let me know

Fanfiction fundamentally requires different skill sets from original fiction. But it's still generally the same audience as far as YA is concerned, so perhaps spinning a successful fanfic based on an existing YA franchise can work. Hell, if it works, OP can just change all the names and publish it as original work.

>make fun of ya novels

very original.

why not do something that requires some thought and make fun of the enshrined, untouchable, so-call "greats" that the pseudo-patricians on this thread read and pretend to jizz over?

I'm a YAfag myself and I still recognize the value in just sheer literary brilliance and technical skill in wordplay.

If anything, you can make even better YA if you take from literary sources. Just because YA has the reputation of being 'dumbed down' doesn't mean you can't put more effort and imagination into how you structure and introduce the work through the language.
At the very least, popular YA is talking to a lot of people in terms and ideas they understand and value, whats wrong with that? Even if they are kids, about half of YA readers are adults reading to enjoy themselves.

Why don't you write about a transgender thing getting an introduction in the LGBT community. Oh and his dad wasn't around growing up. Then have him/her (himher??) meet a refugee from some third world country. Then they move into a racist neighborhood and have to over come adversity with solidarity.


Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... its so sentimental
