Question. I have a character who choses the personal pronouns of ze/hir to fit a certain profile.
As I am going through revisions I feel like I'm in the La Brea tarpits having all other characters respect her choices whenever they mention her.
"Is ze coming?"
As opposed to: "Is she coming?"
Would to be reasonable to limit the use of ze/hir to being in her presence or in official communications?
@J_Windrow I kind of think pronouns should be consistent throughout.
@ianthealy consistent pronouns regarding the describing one character being consistent throughout?
It's jarring enough that I may find new identifiers. The more I revise the more I find that it detracts more than it provides necessary information.
Thankfully, search and replace can help with that task.
In YA it might be an easier row to hoe.
