Um...cuz most of the writers I know on-line are female? And one of MY usernames is medievalGIRL and you would NOT believe the number of times I have been called HE. (Which sends my friends into hysterics)
*face palm* I really am sorry. Believe it or not...this is NOT the first time I've done that. Honestly most of the time I go either gender neutral or s/he if I don't actually KNOW the person or I ask or...yeah I'mma shut up now.
I'm glad you liked the story though. *blushes* I can't believe you like it better than yours. Honestly I have no issues writing the boys. They're easy enough...snark comes naturally to me (just ask most of my friends--I've actually been told to tone DOWN snark for characters) and for some reason I have a little Will and Henry voice in my head and all I need to do is tune into them.
You'd probably hate me if I told you how long it took me to write this...the only reason it took me as long as it did was because I was carrying on a couple of conversations while I was working.
