Lois’s comments from the Always Write group.

Me?
Lol it's like 6 here?

Generic YA Book Has:



A Girl

Who is not like other girls (she’s special)?

She has Daddy Issues

Has a troubled past (preferably a death but an abusive mother will also do)

Doesn’t know she’s beautiful (a boy will have to tell her)

She’s so cool she stands up for people

Has Perfect hair and Captivating eyes (green or blue because no other eye colour exists)

But has a bland personality



A Boy

He’s a Bad boy with a troubled past

Always handsome and has special eyes (this is mentioned in every other sentence)

Pursues after girl even after she says no (because he can’t seem to get away from her captivating eyes)

He would be considered a stalker in any other situation but he’s way to handsome for that (plus it’s love)

Has perfectly messy hair

Rides a Harley and has a leather jacket (why wouldn’t he)

But has a bland personality



A Plot:

That’s so bad it’s almost non-existent

Very generic and predictable

Bad writing

Probably written by a teenage girl



Sentences like these:

Her eyes (insert random adjective)

His hair (insert random adjective)

I pull her close to me

The wind swept passed my hair

My heart was beating so fast

Gosh her hair smelt like flowers or anything else

My heart was breaking



Conclusion:

They’ll probably make a movie about this.

Hi , I'm writing a kind of satire book about YA.
Like gathering all the stereotypical things and making it into one book.
Do you know any commonly used tropes in YA?
I already got this:
