I'm not much of a S. Haruhi fan but I find this whole phenomenon of an alternate universe with inverted genders breeding an entire fandom of its own to be particularly intriguing.

SHnY is indubitably a tale garnered towards the male fans with its parody of idolization and archetypes observed by a down-to-earth protagonist at the center of it all, and was rather entertaining despite its rather empty characters, but think of the possibilities when everyone switches genders! As a change we get a down-to-earth female (a character type I have yet to be seen portrayed well in anime) at the center of it all; all the sexual tensions, behaviours and jokes would have to be reversed, and with Haruhi as a guy, so will the supernatural occurrences and eventual conclusion.

The possibility of writing fanfiction based on this alternate universe is greatly positive. It will be a very interesting experiment indeed, especially when it comes to developing Kyon who sets the mood of the entire show.
