Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm guessing genderswap is another area where artists don't always feel comfortable with the changes to what they know.

There's so much room for interpretation with genderswap that I think the subjective quality of it varies more widely than with standard gender drawings. After all, the art might be technically supergood, but it's just not how you swapped genders. Some people feminise (petite-madame is pretty good at it), some people reimagine (cafe de labeill), and some people recast (there was a sweeping fem!Dean=Katee Sackhoff for a while, for instance).

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Oh, yeah, that is so true. For me, I tend to prefer feminized versions of the characters I know or I recast them; the folks who totally reimagine them lose me. I need a known physical point of reference to work with, even if it's only in my own head and not on paper.

That is so funny about Katee Sackhoff, though, because she's the preferred recast for a fem!Jim Kirk. Hee. Lady gets around.

I've done both re-imagining and feminising, but none of the straight up feminised ones got published.

FUCK. One of my characters' heads is too small. If I were defter with GIMP, I could fix it in there, but I'm not and I need to erase an actual decent likeness BITCH.

But before I start the last likeness, the really difficult one, I will make sure the head is the right size. As few do-overs as possible there.

Whee! Submission is off. It's all in the reversebang authors' hands now. And I even digitally resized the teeny head.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Is not being able to get down to business writing the last chapter of a long damn fic like high school senioritis? Sooooooo sick of the thing, I just want it over.

I know that feeling all too well.

What fandom are you writing in, Andi?

The Mentalist. And right now I'm even more sick of my AU Patrick Jane than I am of the one they've got on screen this season. Which is saying something.

Oh, dear. I hate when that sort of thing happens.
