> So my question is: If an author were to write a YA sci-fi novel with female protagonists and the type of romance one sees in, say, Hunger Games, could that book succeed?
It could. [Across the Universe] (http://www.amazon.com/Across-Universe-Beth-Revis/dp/1595144676) did fairly well on a whole, but wasn't mainstream-shattering. I keep up with a lot of YA trends and this one hasn't really taken off the way, say, [Mila 2.0] (http://www.amazon.com/MILA-2-0-Debra-Driza/dp/0062090364/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367506827&sr=1-1&keywords=mila+2.0+by+debra+driza) (which will be a television show in the fall/spring) or things like it have that aren't outright dystopian.
> Second question is: If that were to happen, would it be good or bad for the genre? I feel like Doctor Who has started going in that direction and it's been a great success.
I hold that anything that gets people to embrace alternative genres and get them out of the "genre fiction is for X" buckets is a good thing for everyone involved.
So, basically Across the Universe?
