Quoted from AlsoBen
Don,

If someone is born male but identify as female, that would make them a female character? And vice versa would make them male.


AlsoBen,

I would agree with you on that.

I'm already on my fourth draft. Fixed spelling errors, typos and repeated words, and tightened up some dialogue. Things are great so far.

Haven't written FADE IN yet, nor have I thought about a story....but I'm trying...and will.

Question, though.  Since Stevie is basically a female with no hair, could he be used as a female character?

Entirely fair question, since we all know about Stevie... but the answer's no. How I look at things, in that respect, is how would the characters be cast if the script were filmed? You know, you wouldn't hire a woman to play Stevie's part (you could, but it would be more of a creative decision).

So far, I think I go over the top with my stuff, what could be good in general, but sadly I feel it not only goes over the top, it even rolls down the slope towards the valley.

What was it about "don't give grades in your review"??? It's halftime so we could need a teaser

I was looking forward to writing something since I got a genre I like and I have no problem, IMHO, writing an all male cast. However, four close relatives ended up in the ER, two are awaiting serious surgeries, in just the last week! Four separate incidents in four separate cities. How weird is that?

Any chick wearing denim cutoffs is eligible to play me.   Jeff could write about his Arizona Cards - none of them have any balls!  The Packers too, come to think of it.

Man, don't you just love the toilet when the great flashes of inspiration hit you when sitting on it? Amazing...even at 1215 am after work!

Pia, sorry to hear about your family members. Hope they come through alright

Welcome to the "Gender Swap" One Week Challenge: [/b]


When I read this I thought it was going to be a challenge writing about a transsexual.

I instantly thought "Heh, how Hollywood of you."

Sean, any chance you could post what genres were used?

It's not going to be a secret once posted, but obviously we don't need to know who got what.

Be interesting to see
