Buh.
So basically I have a list of characters and a whoa sketchy plot line; I'm trying to decide between interrelated short stories or an actual page after page, paragraphed thing.
But I don't know what to classify it as...it takes place in a crappy part of Indiana, with a sixteen/seventeen year old scene boy as the main character, with his girlfriend as a secondary-primary. There's cussing, a fight scene, scenes with drug use, and scenes with sexual content- would this be mainstream/contemporary, or YA?
Thanks for your help :]

I'd go with mainstream, but there's no reason why you couldn't classify it as both. Mine is mainstream, YA, AND chicklit :)

Yeah I'm having the same problem...
I just read over some stuff in the YA board, and I don't know if my story really fits there, even though it is YA.
But I also don't think it fits in the fantasy board, because that's mostly high fantasy stuff.
So... maybe I'm writing mainstream YA fantasy? heh
