Okay great! I wasn’t sure, because I thought I had posed a few additional questions on Judgment and audience reach (Optionlock-Holistic tending to reach female audiences better, though there are plenty of examples of ones that males still enjoyed).
Just make sure that you really understand what Holistic (aka Female Mental Sex) is before choosing that in your storyform. (This was something I got wrong in one my stories.) You can still have a “higher dimension” thinking Linear MC. To me, Sherlock Holmes is often using linear thinking – deduction being a logical process. But I haven’t read the books since I was young, and it’s quite possible he’s employing deduction while still balancing all of the forces involved.
