Usually I'm actually kinda squick about gender swap - not like "PPL SHOULDN'T CHANGE GENDERS" but because it generally seems to lead to OOC, which is also one of my big problems with human AUs. For human AUs, you've just taken away all of the experiences of the character - so it's natural that their personality will usually not be the same. That's definitely not always true - the Kitten Board has a lot of great human AUs. Basically I'm okay with gender swap and human AUs as long as they aren't a vehicle for crap characterization, which they tend to be, so it makes me squick about them.
Anyways. I'll try to read your "Aspects" fic - sounds intriguing. And thanks so much for commenting! It sparked thinkage.
