You'd never encountered it before? I mean, didn't you used to read HP?
I still only read HP. Mostly. The one site I like is very Canon Nazi. There's very little AU unless it was written or started before a book came out. Very little room for little Snarry's. And I'll admit, I tend toward het pairings. Although, Snarry can be hot when written well.
Home to millions of epic Snarry Mpreg Angst Tales or something?
Thus far, I've seen two.
I tend toward het pairings
I suppose someone should.

Hee!
Re: CarPreg. I just googled it.
SERIOUSLY????
You know about Wingfic right?
It's really not as fun to say "but did you read the one where they're CENTAURS?!" when Aimée only reads in a fandom where there are canonical centaurs.
Heck, I tend towards gen these days.
With a side of het and slash (less femslash than usual, sadly, at least in my Primary Fandom).
(Of course, in my Secondary Fandom, I've got this strong need to find good het, which is hard, but at least possible. I've basically given up on finding much, or any, femslash or slash in it.)
(DESPITE THE CANON HAVING A LESBIAN OF ITS OWN. WTF, FANDOM?? WTF???)
(Not that I'm bitter.)
(Much.)
SERIOUSLY????
Dude. We're operating in a fandom where it's basically canon that one of the lead characters has a car as a life partner. Seriously.
:: wonders where all these Herbie The Love Bug fans have been hiding out ::
At this point, I think we should invent our own bizarro-world subgenres of fic, and convince everybody that they're thriving subcultures all about... warts. Or stories where Our Heroes can't talk out loud and have to use a combination of telepathy, ASL and mime.
(Actually, I should say that illness stories -- What cool and exciting new bug can lay Our Hero low? How long will Our Other Hero angst at Our Hero's bedside before the fever breaks? What symptoms and consequences will be described in incredibly dull and extended detail? -- already exist, as a subgenre; they just don't have the kind of weirdness traction that wings have.)
