Not that anyone's asked, but the reason there haven't been pictures of Anthony or Curtis is because they're based on people I know in real life. Anthony is my new "insta-bff" as he has dubbed us, and he has such a delightfully big personality with just the right edge that it's REALLY hard to not throw him into this at every damn opportunity. :)
Thinking about how differently things would be perceived has been one of my favorite things about this story. I have ridiculous amounts of headcanon on how things have adapted and what's taken over in terms of populsr tropes. For instance, the most popular tv series among women is a "How I Met Your Mother" style comedy called "My Many Marks" about a woman named Jessica (because it was the most popular name for baby girls born in 1987) and her trials as she dates Mark after Mark in the hopes of finding the one her marking represents.
That moment about Chris's shyness is one of my favorite exchanges in the entire story. I'm delighted you liked it enough to single it out. :)
