First, an admission: I've been thinking that "crossover" meant some sort of genre blend, like SF AND F, or historical AND romance. Apparently, this is not the case?
So, real question, what are the rules on crossover, in the sense of a book that could be adult or YA? (because that's what it means, right?) I'd love to call mine NA (new adult) but there's zero romance for the MC, and apparently that's what NA requires these days. There's some cursing, and the character is very much an adult, albeit she's not good at adulting. If I cleared the cursing, could it be "crossover?" Anything else governing that, in most cases??
Thanks!
