Try genderswapping sometime!

See, I read this, and immediately got excited because here is my excuse to tell you about these sci-fi books I am fannishly in love with, as there is a sort of genderswappery! And then I read the rest of the paragraph and realized that, oh, maybe you meant this as *sarcastic* advice to the author.

But since I started.... You should check out Spin State and Spin Control by Chris Moriarty (who is a lady).

I have cunningly tricked brownbetty into reviewing them for me, here and here, so I don't have to! Which is probably best all around, because she is far better at not resorting to pleased hand gestures when it comes to this sort of thing, and also I can sleep pleased in the knowledge that her life is measurably improved due to my efforts!

(And I am racking my brain - I do not believe there is child or animal abuse in either.)
