exactly; which is why i'm not a huge fan of AUs in general, especially when they're basing it on a book or movie or something. sometimes they work, but it's a fine line. (personally i just like my RPS to be, y'know, real.) that is also my argument against genderswap, because i think a character's gender changing as flippantly as the weather is creating a new character. with society's genderization of everything, you can't expect they'd be the same person. but, y'know, that's just me.
