Open Question:

[severusslave]

Why is it that in ~90% of genderbender fiction it's about a guy becoming a woman and not vice versa?

I mean, okay, there is that plotbunny of a potential slash pairing via the het way, right. But, seriously... why?!

I don't know if you're at all interested in Stargate: Atlantis, but there's an excellent novel-length WIP, which only has one more chapter to go before its complete, which includes both M to F and F to M for 3 characters, and treats each change with a really rich depth of character-specificity. I'd really recommend it, even if you don;t usually watch SGA. It's called Ardhanarishvara and it's available Here

Um, yes, SGA fan, over here. Wrote the majority of my fics about that fandom. (Am still a bit miffled about the lackage of Sheppard/O'Neill, though. :P)

Ardhanarishvara was awesome, true, and it was very interesting to read about Teyla's attitude towards it all. Being less than before, no being able to give her people children anymore and so on. Hmm, I shall have to reread it, it probably got new chapters. :D

Oh dear - sorry about that. I often forget why I fist friended people and ow that you've reminded me that you're in SGA, it was probably just for your SGA fic. Oooops - sorry about that.

:P No problem. Relationships evolve, yay!

I think I always get confused because of the "severus" part of your username and assume that you're only in HP. Will try to remember in future. But, yes, one of the little joys of LJ is that you do get to see a much broader picture of the lives of the people that you friend :)

Ah, yes, once upon a atime I was in HP fandom. AndI still ponder whether I should get myself a rename token or not. :P
