@ce78dee8 Yeah, there was an explosion of fantasy later and it was a lot of YA fantasy with heroines that led the way. I missed that by, well, a lot. 🤣
So, now I write it, just not YA (mostly). 😃
@7b682b86 its still great to get to write what you couldn't read. I'm even more recent on that frontier, writing the nonbinary lead even I wouldn't/ couldn't yet have identified as even a decade ago.
