I strongly object to you using your own stories as grounds for
determining the canonicity of a story. If you had left it at
"people can change between genders", which I can neither confirm nor
deny because I can't access the story in question, maybe I'd go
easier on you, but your second paragraph goes on to basically
proclaim your stories as gospel canon by stating that the character
has long black hair and large breasts. Alex already stated that
yours are the only stories where these details are mentioned outside
of Distant Voices, and I'm more inclined to go with what appears to
have been an origin story than with what you added seven years later
from personal preference.<br>
<br>
Also, having the character called Matt is likely as much a callback
to her male name, and thus has no bearing on whether or not this
story is canon.<br>
<br>
Considering that the archive dates this story at some time in 1997,
I would say that the oddity of letting people change genders is most
likely a misunderstanding of what was at that time a new story
universe. I move to consider the description of the character in
the story as canon, while leaving the story itself outside of canon
due to this misunderstanding.<br>

Alex brought this story to our attention, I previously didn't
know the tale existed and I don't think many of us did. I vote
that it's added to the non-canon section. I haven't finished
reading it, but in it some people afflicted with the curse can
change to and from the two sexes, which is not the case in the
series proper.<br>
<br>
Additionally, Malisa's physical appearance is different than
what it's been listed in the canon events (Small breasts, short
brown hair Vs. Large Breasts, long black hair) and finally she
goes by Matt instead of Malisa.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, I do find it interesting that a few elements of
Malisa's character that I thought I had made up are in this
story. Eh, not quite sure what to make of it.<br>
<br>
All in favor?<br>
