Jaaku-san When you see a fanfic that has your favorite couple, but one of them is the wrong gender, do you scream "Cop out!"? Do you wonder what a character would be like, realistically, if they were of the opposite sex? Do you just think something would be more entertaining if a character was the opposite sex? In short, what you do think of Gender Bending?
I sometimes scream cop-out, but to each their own. I like yuri, yaoi and straight hentai, so it doesn't bother me. Sometimes, though, you can tell by the way it's written that someone was too chickenshit to actually write a yaoi and made it a straight pairing.

I think it really depends on how it's done. Rather like mpreg. It can be terrible, unrealistic, out of character and just all around terrible. But it can also be good.
If a male character gets turned into a female by some magic spell or curse or something in a world where that stuff doesn't exist (like the real world), then it's just stupid. In that case it is a cop out. That author, most likely, just didn't want to write gay, but wanted to write the couple anyway. And that just doesn't make sense to me.
But in a world where that sort of thing is possible, and if the fic is written well and the character doesn't suddenly start acting girly the moment they've got boobs (unless they were girly from the start), then it could be pretty good.
As for cross dressing/gender bending, I think that also depends on the situation and characters. I think the character has to have been androgynous and somewhat feminine from the start or it would be out of character for them to cross dress (unless they're like Josak from KKM). I mean, unless it's a crack fic, but that's a whole other ball game.
