Consuela, I'm marking your post because that's probably the most concise explanation of the issues around fanfiction, and slash in particular, that I've seen. I want to keep that puppy around for reference.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Femmeslash: Scully could be her own category...just about every strong, smart woman on nineties TV has been paired with her. I've done it too...I wrote flashback Scully/Megan Reeves(from Numbers) And I can believe Tara was once Sophie's girlfriend, even though I like Nate/Sophie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
FPREG--is that any female pregnancy story, or just ones femmeslash ones?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've never seen that used. Seems kind of redundant, no?

Art Crawl!!!
It's as if there is so much mpreg in fanfic that they felt the need to differentiate. . . or they've lost touch with reality.

Because books.
Wait, does MPREG stand for male pregnancy or magical pregnancy?

I did read in a couple places that it's F/F pregnancy (no sperm involved), but I have no idea if that's credible.

Male.
