Before coming to muds, I wrote fiction. So, when the question of playing a pc of another gender arose, I did not think it would produce any great conflict.
After all, I understood, that a character should be human (or what have you first) and everything else secondary. After all people are far more alike than different. So, male, female, no big deal. Right?
Oddly, the stumbling block for me was stage fright. I worried constantly that I'd be unmasked. The fear was very similar to fearing something under the bed. It didn't make a whole lot of sense. Had I been discovered, what would have happened? Would the rp police come to my door and take me away?
Since, I've gotten over it, and I don't think my male pc's are so different than female. But who knows - maybe the rp police just don't have my address.
