This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I haven't read IT specifically, but I've read a lot of SK, and lot of stories in his shared universe(s) (not sure how many people have connected IT to Dark Tower, but wouldn't surprise me), but knowing him I'd imagine IT isn't male or female. It just is. Or, at the very least, it's not something that really falls into human concepts of gender.
There is another similar creature in one of the late Dark Tower books but it feeds on laughter instead of fear. Does not seem nearly as powerful as Pennywise though, so maybe only tangentially related.
