I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that people have been thinking Erin is male when, in fact, they use 'they/them,' not 'he.'

Personally I used they and them specifically because of that - ...did I miss a few...? - but I assume we'll just have to get used to writing Erin with these in mind.

Tortwag, I'm fairly certain you basically didn't use pronouns. I think you did use 'he' once, but you mostly just said 'Erin said...'

Heh. My usual instinctive trick. I'll find that one "he" eventually, though.

By the way, if anyone here has a Discord, I have a server for all of my storybooks. It's called Sae's Library, and this is the invite link: https://discord.gg/gWKRswE. You don't have to join if you don't want to, but I thought I would leave the option out there if you did.
I'll probably get something up this weekend, maybe earlier.

Caught up with the posts! Just one thing: @Sheytato Can you edit Nico Ringo's message so that she - annoyingly - never actually abbreviates them? That is definitely one quirk I want her to have, not to mention not being an English native usually makes you want to use less text abbreviations as a whole. *That and well she's weird*

@Feltrix I love that I didn't even need to introduce the finger-quoting gesture for Nico Ringo, as you did that for me. you deserve cookies.
That being said, yay! On to the recruiting with the New Friends. Should be fun.

Your post was hilarious, @Feltrix! I loved reading the dialogue between the old friends; it made me smile the entire time I was reading your post. @TheBlueCat, you're up next! When do you think you can get your post up by?
