Thanks for the catch--I do know that, and I blame my tendency to default to the female, in fandom, and having been up since until 3:00 am, last night, for the slip. If it were possible to edit, I'd change it. *sigh*

As much as I enjoy SF elements in stories, I don't usually use them, myself--and, in fact, I'm kind of stuck on a story, right now, that needs a science-y foundation and, erm. I'm not good at that. Very frustrating--and maybe that's why I enjoy seeing so much in others' stories, at least in part. I wish I could do it, too.
