Original Sin Teaser #7 and YA trends


And, now for the Original Sin teaser!



Luc is putty in her hands ;p



  1. Oh wow!!! Is it just me or did it just get hot in here?!? :D

  2. I think trends will become less important until something huge comes along.

    Paranormal was huge because Twilight was huge. Hunger Games is big, yes. Really big, but not twilight big. So we're seeing dystopians now. But the dystopian trend doesn't compare to the paranormal trend, both in size and duration. It already feels like it's winding down.

    So what's next? Impossible to tell. Whatever takes off bigger than Hunger Games.

    What's left? Haven't seen a lot of good YA horror, or thrillers. YA is becoming so saturated it's becoming a question of what hasn't been done, or at least done in a big way.

    I still think the best advice I've heard is to just write a unique story. That starts with being well read in your genre.

  3. *Le Gasp* I can't wait to start reading the first book! Yea, trend or no trend I still am very behind on it. :D Haha. And honestly speaking I don't know how Twilight sparked so much. It was a good book and all and the love story was great. But not that great. I prefer the Hunger Games and other books. ^-^ Great Post.

  4. *fans self* Whew! Is it just me or is it hot in here?

  5. I am very excited for this book - total luc fan here! :)
    I think with violence, war, natural disasters and the polictacl unrest here in the US people are going to start wanting comfort reads, much like comfort food. Old fashioned chivalry and elect ladies - Back to the litarue classics. That is the predication for the next trend (Or dragons that is;D )
