#WordWeavers 16 May
Would your WIP still work if you changed the gender of your MC?
Yes, insofar as there are two MCs, in a very long-term relationship (across multiple reincarnations). No in specific details (for a chunk of the narrative they're travelling in a patriarchal empire with rigid gender roles: these impose constraints).
