Gilmore Girls sing text saying "Daisy's", Dinner waitress, short brunet hair, female wearing flannel button up top, backwards ball cap, half...

Such great gendersnatching creations! I had to google & ask for one explanation - the clothes and name should have made my penny drop.

If 6 of 7 entries didn't follow the instructions, it's the instructor to blame. I had to shorten the rules and:

The ill-advised reason I chose the opposite of what I was asking for: There are so few female lead franchises around, which in addition have been taken over by a male lead, it felt like spoiling, ruining the game. So instead I ruined it with mixed messages, haha!

The game didn't just look for any take over by a female lead. But by one taking it back.

Congratulations Richy @RichyARTificial for winning and KWriter @KWriter for third place. All gender snatchers can be seen here:

Only Yui @Yui_Kirigaya followed the rules, she gets to decide the next game.

Hope to see you all in the current one:

Indeed, in ref to our chat talk: what I mean is irrelevant, what I write in the rules is, what counts. I didn't say the original source had have to been published, haha! Luke technically isn't the protagonist, but an important principal character. I believe, technically Lorelai & Rory Gilmore are "buddy protagonists", though this is more difficult to define in a series. But as even many film critics are not aware of the difference between "main character(s)/protagonist(s)" and "prinicipal character(s)", I should have delivered a definition, if I wanted to stickle about it. Plus, I asn't aare before that Luke originally as a oman. So great creation! And as you followed the instructions most closely, you get to decide the next challenge shortly in the chat room.
