Shortage (Closed for BethJones)
He could not help but be excited; granted, this was not Rick Sailor's own project, but he was years away from being able to head a team. As a graduate student working on his doctorate, however, he'd been given the opportunity to work with a true physics genius in Dr. Klein on a project involving new subatomic particles that had recently been discovered, and today was the day that the generator that would create a field of them would be turned on.
Rick was exhausted, but that did not stop him from rushing to get ready so he could get to the lab. A handsome man in his late 20's, with short blond hair and green eyes, he'd been out most of the night, and had come back from the club with more than a couple of phone numbers, but all of this was forgotten as he drove to the lab. There was a time and place for everything, and this was the time for work that excited him almost as much as an attractive woman would.
He needed to be there early, as it was his job to check the equipment to make sure all was set. The graduate student was doing this quite happily, when the only other person in the building at that particular time, a janitor, accidentally hit the switch that powered the generator on. Rick didn't even have time to yell before it happened, and once he was caught in that particle field, his body slowly faded from this world. An onlooker would have simply seen him gradually fade away and cease to exist.
When he woke, he had no idea how much time had passed, or, for that matter, where he was. Looking around as his vision cleared, he was laying in the middle of a street, surrounded by confused faces, belonging to people who were checking to make sure he was alright. It took a minute for it to dawn on him that every one of those faces was female. Even the police officer who was trying to get the others to back away, in a city where female officers were still somewhat rare.

Looking for a female who will be willing to write for many different women in an alternate reality setting. History was identical in this new dimension, up until about 50 years ago, when a strange plague wiped out most of the men on earth, leaving the ratio of men to women at 1:50 at the time. The surviving men were left with low sperm-counts. At the time Rick is waking up, after arriving in a flash of light, the ratio has improved to 1:30, but is still heavily weighted on the side of females.
Basically, the world is controlled by females, and men (along with their sperm) are considered valued resources. Though some women still dream of having a husband to themselves, it is little more than a dream for all but the rich and powerful. Men are treated as protected, if in some ways second-class, citizens, not allowed to do anything too dangerous, nor allowed to have real power. They are encouraged, however, to donate sperm and to sleep around as much as possible, to the point that many take up the now-legal occupation of prostitution.
