And pointlessness galore: I have used the Gender Genie on all our yarns for turn 0 and turn 3, and it appears that we are all males, according to the bot. Sedna and myself are the least males, with a very marginal difference (virtually no difference at all), and Djo's male part doesn't have much of a lead over the female part.
I suppose I like being a well-balanced (male) person.

When a few more yarns are up, I'm thinking of feeding in my (and Sedna's) separate story threads to see how the different POV characters differ.

It might also be interesting to feed an author's posts in and see how much the results differ from the author's fiction.

In the list of words the site tagged as male was "said", which would seem to skew fiction. Also: "is" = male, "was" = female? Fiction is most often written in past tense, but I chose present tense for 1/3 of my work. Makes you wonder.
