PF as YA

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I haven't read PF, but I can pretty well guarantee that WK will not end up 
in the library at any junior high I know about. It's violent and overtly 
sexual. And it's tone would definitely not hold the attention of any but the 
most exceptional young teen. I'd as soon label "A Voyage to Arcturus" as YA 
fiction as I would WK.
