<p>stub</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Switch-Hitting (Wiscon 28 panel)|49 Switch–Hitting a Home Run: Writing Credible Characters of the &quot;Opposite Sex&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Writing: The Art•University A• Saturday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.<br /> <br /> Is it possible for a male author to write strong, credible female characters (and vice versa)? Why or why not? What makes a character credible and satisfying, gender of character and/or writer aside? Is there something particular about “switch hitting” that’s more difficult to get right? Is there a more––or––less universal baseline for what makes a character credible and satisfying, or is it totally idiosyncratic? What about [[Mike Resnick]]’s books &#039;&#039;[[Men Writing Science Fiction as Women]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Women Writing Science Fiction as Men]]&#039;&#039; as test cases?<br /> <br /> [[Category:Characterization]]<br /> [[Category:WisCon 28 panels]]</div>
