Terms of Service gender breakdown

It’s because of this. Roughly in order of appearance but I’ve conflated characters in the same category, even from different chapters/contexts. I changed my own criteria several times while compiling the list, but I think I agree with myself now. I’m pleased with the results, especially as I didn’t make any effort at all to

Public service announcement

If you downloaded Terms of Service when it came out, please get a new copy! I’ve edited the epub file to get rid of all the pesky little conversion errors. Paragraphs ending in the middle of a word, misfocused search terms embedded in random words, and similar inconveniences should be gone now. The mobi version
