This is not fair to fanfiction stories: we use mainly the canon characters who are either mainly male or, like TFs, at least characterized as male.
My original fic will probably fail, because the protagonist, who is a woman, will spend the book trying to find her missing (abducted) spouse, who is characterized as male (android).
I have one (count 'em: one) story idea in the TF universe that I haven't started yet that will be completely two females interacting. It will probably fail this test no matter how long or detailed I make it because it will complete the Devoted Service story line with Elita and her support (someone, maybe Chromia, maybe not) who helps her cope with the pain in her spark, pain of separation from half her spark, held by one Optimus Prime. So, the whole story will be due to a male.
