Quote from: Brentski on September 17, 2023, 11:29:56 PMI didn't find the OT on Archive.org and I don't have a copy any longer. I'll have to try to track down a copy on eBay to see if Jerry and Phil are in it. I think Jerry is going to be my albatross (see The Rime of the Ancient Mariner). I used him as a tech expert in part because he was under-used in the canon. Now this fact is narrowing my options for gaining legal status in Canada for my series. Ah, well. You lay your bet and take your chances.
Quote from: Brentski on September 17, 2023, 11:23:38 PMThanks so much. If you knew how much I second-guessed that change after I made it, you would know how much I appreciate that you approve of the change. I know not everyone will feel the same, but it helps to have you on my side!

I rarely say that about people (fanfic writers) that change the gender of a TV or book character.
