| 1 | * CreatorWorship: Try criticizing her online. You will not survive. This has lessened in recent years, with her second Birds of Prey run and her ComicBook/New52 Batgirl run being received a lot more coolly than her earlier work; that the latter would have been particularly controversial regardless of writers has not helped matters. It came back with force when it was announced that she would write Uncanny X-men. |
| 2 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Broadly, any time she stops to praise another creator, especially Creator/KellySueDeConnick (more or less her Marvel equivalent) or a newer writer like Marguerite Bennett. Specifically, there's a cute bit on Twitter where she shares an anecdote about the first time she met Kelly Sue [=DeConnick=] in person. [=DeConnick=] had her young daughter with her, dressed up as Wonder Woman. Simone complimented her on her costume, but the little girl was disappointed in it, claiming "I don't have THE THINGS!" and bared her wrists-- she didn't have Wonder Woman's bullet-blocking bracelets. [=DeConnick=] jumped in to tell Simone how great she was with her kid and to say that, for months afterward, every time Simone went to a convention, she tried to find Wonder Woman bracelets that would fit a preschooler. |
| 3 | * LGBTFanbase: Has a following in this demographic thanks to her efforts to portray fully developed characters that happen not to be straight. |
| 4 | * MyRealDaddy: Gail is considered one of the best hero and villain rehabilitators, and the ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey and Catman, amongst others, have become inextricably linked to her. She's particularly known for taking female characters initially created solely for [[MsFanservice fanservice]] and making them three-dimensional and worthy of respect. And ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} has declared her his mommy. |
