As we strive to support greater inclusivity in our stories, we’ve added support for three-option replaceables.

These are very useful when you want to respect a reader’s pronoun choices or gender identity choices.

You can now write replaceables with three options: male, female, and non-binary. 

These can be used in flexible ways, and they’re not associated with any particular character.

 


Examples:

 

set PRONOUNS_LI f
        NARR
    I really love [PRONOUNS_LI:him:her:them].
    I really love her. (Expected)set PRONOUNS_MC m
        NARR
    Did you meet the new [PRONOUNS_MC:guy:gal:person]? [PRONOUNS_MC:He is:She is:They are] so mysterious.
    Did you meet the new guy? He is so mysterious. (Expected)set PRONOUNS_LI2 nb
        NARR
    [PRONOUNS_LI2:He is:She is:They are] beautiful.
    They are beautiful. (Expected)

 

Technical description:
This is a special version of our `set` command. The syntax is `set PRONOUNS_[SOMEKEY] [VALUE]`.


`[SOMEKEY]` is whatever you’d like, such as `LI` for love interest, `MC` for main character, `LI2` for second love interest


`[VALUE]` is one of ‘m’, ‘f’, or ‘nb’ These replaceables support three options, such as

[PRONOUNS_SOMEKEY:He:She:They] made me realize what I’m looking for :hearts:

The first option (‘He’) is used if the pronoun setting is ‘m’, the second (‘She’) is used if ‘f’, the third (‘They’) is used if ‘nb’.


As a reminder, you can use the `set` command for other replacements.

set favorite_coffee a cappuccino
I just love [favorite_coffee] in the morning!
