[...] 1) What would you say is the average, common age for UF female protagonists? I know this can vary widely, but still… I’d say that mid-twenties is pretty common. But do you see younger main characters in urban fantasy? How would you feel about reading a book marketed as ‘adult’ rather than YA, with a protagonist who is… say… 21? That almost falls into the difficult ‘gap’ between YA and adult, I’d say – kinda like “new adult” fiction. [...]

Thanks for your great posts about this Postadolescent genre! I’m so thrilled that the need has been seen and that you’re planning to do something about it! My question – as an author whose series is most suited for this new genre, Are agents going to recognize that when I’m querying them? It’s been a real problem for me trying to figure out who to query because they are either YA or adult and I just don’t think my books fit in either that well. So, when will we see agents who are looking for books for this genre? Thanks!

I’d like to agree with this person, whole-heartedly. Speak your your*self*, thanks, because presuming that you get to make these remarks for others is ridiculous. Not to mention the sheer rudeness inherent in your condescending statements about young adults.
