* MaleGaze: Notably, for a writer who is famously feminist, Gail has defended this trope, or at least argued its not as harmful as other tropes that mistreat women (such as DroppedABridgeOnHim). Part of this is that she often collaborates with artists who tend to draw this way, but even when it's not the case, Gail is prone to putting in raunchy humour all on her own that tends to put female characters' sexualities on display. In fact, when she was writing ComicBook/RedSonja, she did away with the whole [[BestHerToBedHer "can't have sex except with the one who defeats you"]] thing, and turned her into an example of ReallyGetsAround.

* FamilyOfChoice: Invokes this trope in pretty much every comic she writes, whether it's Birds of Prey, Secret Six, Red Sonja or Clean Room. Characters will build bonds through bleeding for eachother and by the end they will treat eachother like family.

In 2010, she finished ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' and concluded a second run on ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey, which she started writing after her years on ''Wonder Woman''. Most recently, she enjoyed a long run on the New 52 ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl| 2011}}'' and a somewhat shorter run co-writing ''[[ComicBook/FirestormDCComics The Fury of Firestorm]]'' with {{Creator/Ethan Van Sciver}}. When she was fired from the former, the backlash resulted in her quickly being put back on the book. She is currently working on a ''ComicBook/{{Domino|MarvelComics}}'' book for Marvel, a ''ComicBook/PlasticMan'' book for DC, and a ''ComicBook/RedSonja[=/=]Literature/{{Tarzan}}'' book for Dynamite. She also rather unexpectedly contributed a script for the final season of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E13BetweenDarkAndDawn Between Dark and Dawn]]".

* {{Troll}}: Gail's Website/{{Twitter}} account gleefully plays TheGadfly with nonsensical bait posts that often manage to start trending hashtags or go viral. Recurring comic bits include claiming that British tea is made in the microwave, and incessant protests that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial she is not really a bear]].
