Young Adult fiction is distinguished from Adult fiction typically by the age of the protagonist(s) and the subject matter or experiences involved. You can, of course, have adult novels starring children (nobody would consider _A Game of Thrones_ to be YA, even though most of the protagonists are children or teenagers), and there is some overlap (I've seen _Ender's Game_ sitting on both shelves of the same store), but the two are generally pretty distinct. I would prefer my novel not be classified as YA, for various reasons. My protagonist is a teenager, and while I intend to involve some adult themes I don't want them to feel forced or out of place. But ultimately, who makes that call?
