What's my market?

I'm new here and I've been lurking in various sections. I read and write romance but my ideas are mainly futuristic or fantasy but I don't feel comfortable writing about certain things. I prefer to give my characters a little privacy and I am unable to write swear words.

Can I have write for the adult market without being explicit? Or would I be better off in the YA market?

The romance market has changed a lot over the past 12 years when I picked up my first regency looking for nice happy endings after reading, The Mill on the Floss, which made me very angry at George Elliot for her unhappy ending.

Thanks.

I've read a lot of paranormal and science fiction romance. And everything is very detailed. That's why I was wondering if I wanted to keep things sweeter if I should move my audience from adult to YA.

I looked up "sweet romance" and I found one author I do like to read that writes paranormal and her's are not so graphic.

As for young adult, I was thinking of that age group because my MCs are usually younger and I think the teen years would be fun to write about. There is so much potential and yet so much drama and heartache about that period in time.

Besides romance, I read Manga and the stories coming out of Japan are moving especially in the teen relationship category. The teens over there have a lot more freedom and responsibility than teens do here.

That's why I was thinking YA instead of Romance. I'd like to write sweet romance for adults but I don't think anyone is buying science fiction/fantasy in that category because I don't see it on the shelf.

Thanks for listening. I've got a lot to think about.

Thanks, Nicole. That is what I was thinking. I was hoping that I was on the right track.

Thanks. I'll take a look.
