At the last minute I decided to try gender-swapping some old novels. It turned out to be quite tricky to generate a mapping between gendered forms of nouns based on WordNet's hyp{er,o}nym tree, so the output is extremely imperfect. Oh well.

The bits where it works are really effective. It tends to miss titles and terms of address the most, but in general it gets close.

@ikarth I like some of the mistakes, too. The (accidental) mapping of “friend” to “girlfriend” (the latter's definition includes girl/woman/female, has the former as a hypernym, and the edit distance between them is <= 4) makes for some fun passages.
