The Random Character Mix Generator has been entirely re-written, and gained a couple of features. You can now specifically request only same-gender mixes, only different-gender mixes or allow both. The gender of "other" has been introduced alongside "male" and "female" (which means that you now can request different-gender-only threesomes, but you'll end up with something like Willow/Joxer/Kosh), for characters that aren't human (and has never been) or just doesn't have a gender. At the moment even supposedly male aliens, such as Londo and G'kar, has been stuck into "Other". Comments on that, please. And last, more fine-grained control over character selection has been introduced. You can now select major/minor characters on a series-by-series basis instead of as a global setting, so you can for example mix all the major characters of Angel with the female minor characters of Xena (for when the Angel crowd go gallivanting off to fantasy universes, of course).

Probable future development: Links to pre-defined mixes, like "Angel/Buffy f/f slash" and "Blake's 7 m/m slash".

Possible future development: The ability to type in characters of your own (but that one has rather large potential for abuse, so it may not happen).

Wow. That was both fast and beautiful. You rock.

Indeedy she does. V. cool girl! However I feel that the male aliens should be in the male catergory.

Or maybe you need alien male/alien female, catrgories? Okay, done making work for ya now...

Mmm, on second (or seventh, or so) thought, I think I mostly agree with you. Separate alien male/female categories would be too narrow, so I'll try to do the division by dramatic use instead. G'kar and Londo are pretty much used as if they were human males, so they'll go in the "male" category. Kosh is mostly just weird, so he (it?) gets to stay in "other".

Lennier too? And Vir right? But yeah, Kosh, Other. Definate 'Other.'

Yeah, all Centauri, Narn and Minbari will go in male/female. I just used G'kar and Londo as examples.
