Over the Hill: Five Not-So-Youthful SFF Protagonists
Protagonists in their late twenties or even older are still alive
in many senses of the word, and can still have adventures, of a sort.
Brought to you by a conversation I overheard between teens.

Being sixty-eight years of age, I found the piece comical.

As did I - being the same age. Went through that page and realized the
ONLY one of the books I had read there was the Miles Vorkosigan book -
and am enough of a fan of Bujold's work that I am sad I got rid of the
issue of Analog (or was it Asimov's? Can't remember - I subscribed
both but ended my subscriptions when I started grad school as I had to
move every 4 months for 2 1/2 years...) where the first story in the
series was published.
