On the bright side, I didn't turn up any count below one! On the down side... basically, every character in HL who isn't a CIS-male is eligible for this game?

So, whom are we going to bump for Amanda?

Cassandra would be my own choice to bow out to make way for Amanda, if it were my call.

For myself, personally, though, I feel that Amanda, as the most frequently written woman character in HLdom, doesn't need this ficathon in the profound way that many of the others do, if that makes sense. I feel that Amanda is not as disproportionately and conspicuously neglected as some of the others.

You make a good point. Amanda is consistently one of the most appearing characters in Shortcuts. And there's nothing barring her from being in a story here, regardless of whether she's requested. We have the opportunity to focus on the less written characters, so we should.
