New Game: What No Woman Has Played Before?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

We've done genderswap before.
We've done insane can't-play-your-normals before.

So.

A long time from now, in a Universe very, very close:
All of our characters were born the opposite gender.

Jaime Kirk
T'pock
Lenore McCoy
Jane Kyle
Kelly Riley
Jonathan Rand
Moira Scott
Christine Pike
Christopher Chapel
Antonia Giotto
Polina Chekova
Hikaru Sulu
Charles McKenna
Donna Galloway
Milo Colt

You get the idea.

Out ladies are transporting a delegation of some people to some kind of event. These passengers come from a deeply misogynistic world - they barely acknowledge women, forget respect. There have been a number of pinched asses, suggestive hand motions and even some aspersions cast on the manliness of the men. (Jon Rand would like you to know that his hair is a mirror of his genitals - large and basket-shaped. IDK.)

And just to make your lives hard more interesting, you can't play any of your regulars.

The idea is not to play BRAND NEW characters, but to step away from the ones you love - try some others on, see how they fit. Lurkerrrrs, this is a great game for you, you can be ANYONE.

WHAT A TWIST!!

I like masculine feminine names though. Like, my gender-swapped Kirk is always Jameson.

I like girly names too, but I really admire females who can pull off the masculine ones whilst retaining their feminitity.

I only think it matters in genderswapped verses; if you're swapping a character you need to give an indication right from the beginning of who they are and that they're swapped, and a masculine name doesn't always do that.

Ah. Well my choices are based off of just preference of name: sound, meaning, etc.

I really like my genderswapped Kirk to still be James actually. I feel like it works for the character, esp. in reboot.

It does work for reboot but I've always liked the name Jameson and I don't get enough chances to use it. ;)

I like the name too actually. It's why Jimmy's name is technically Jameson.

Hehe.
