First of all there is nothing wrong with fanfics.  They are a lot of fun to
read.
Anyway, whether or not the evas are male or female is not neccessarily such
an important thing.  In the same way that somebody might refer to there car
or boat as "she", they also refer to the Evas in the same way.  Objects
such as these tend to always be refferred to as "she" and not "he" for
sentimental reasons.  I hope this makes sense.
