Whatever gooses your gander ([info]khym_chanur) wrote in [info]otf_wank,
Darn, I was hoping for wank about porn involving baby chickens.

The RITA is the RWA's annual awards. The Smart Bitches report that Caridad Ferrar won Best Single Title Romance with Adios To My Old Life. The problem? Adios To My Old Life is technically a YA novel.
In CATEGORY ROMANCE will be "categorized" by a specific brand name, such as Harlequin Presents, Silhouette Desire or Silhouette Intimate Moments. Their covers look similar and they are sold together in a packaged line. Each line has certain common elements, such as the level of sensuality or the level of mystery. Word count is generally about the same but can differ greatly from line to line.

A SINGLE TITLE ROMANCE is one that stands alone on the shelf without being part of particular line. This type of romance may stay on the shelf and in print much longer than a category. [from here]
Unless Young Adult is a brand of a series of romance novels, I'm not seeing the problem here.
