I try to do that, but it would look rather odd in dialogue, don't you think? Two or more people saying the same thing at the same time. And it annoys me in a different way - why must the default be masculine if you ahve people of both genders? I'm hard to please ;)
It would be confusing if nobody explained it! Silly people, I'm a native speaker and it still puzzled me when I was small (I did learn to read in english first, so that was part of it).
It'll get there eventually, I suppose. I'm at about 1.1k, but we've had powercuts that rather interrupted the writing. I'll try and get the first draft done tonight.
Did you decide anything about hp_canon_fest? I'm going to sign up tonight, if there's still time.
