Avejajed, I've been in threads with nasty people ... and believe me, this ain't one of em 
so no sweat.
Okay, back on topic, I don't really think it's right to say a woman or a man should write Cullen because a person's gender does not necessarily determine how he/she approaches his/her craft. I am female, for example, but that is only a biological aspect about me ... there is nothing gendered about my thought processes or my writing ... I'd like to think!
FYI though, I believe the Writer's Pit is mostly (if not all) women.
Agree (on all... Avejajed, you do not need to apologize!).
On writing, I think it's not the gender but the writing. I think people like to throw around gendered judgments sometimes when they just don't like something, "He's a man, so he just doesn't write women well," or vice versa. I think anyone can write anything if they know their character well enough. I mean... I've never been a Fereldan refugee before or fought mano y mano with an invading Arishok, but I think I can grasp f!Hawke's character if I think hard enough (or at least, I'd like to think so!
). Luckily, from everything I've heard about the BW Writers Pit, they seem to be very collaborative, so if something needs additional perspective, it sounds like they have avenues for getting it.
WRT Cullen, the only thing on my wish list would have been for the same person to write him throughout, for consistency, but that already hasn't been the case. So... I have faith! But, indeed, whoever does write him, whatever his role may be, I heartily hope they take his monumental character evolution into account and continue to develop him from there.
Aaaaand, I can't help but hope that he becomes a little wiser and less "oblivious."
