Becuase, um, because, um, err, it's better than Buffy having a baby?
Dude, at least she's a chick.
Besides, it can be done without being TOO ghastly. Or so I've deluded myself into thinking.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Fay, would it help you to be told that Legolas called his son (born just after Moria) Gandalf ?

Certainly, the two at Bagenders are readable, if not loveable.

Hmmm. So one of my fics won some kind of "fanfiction award". I find this odd. Actually, I find fanfiction awards in general to be odd.
Does anyone actually decide to read a fic because it won some random title?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Depends on the award.

Depends on which award, and how it was chosen to win that award.
Edit: x-posty with Dana.

Oh. Are there, like, real awards? Ones that are considered...what's the word I'm looking for...ah! prestigious.
Because I don't think I've come across any of those in the puppyslashverse yet.

Well, I was thinking more of the knocking up Buffy part of the equation. Because I've never written, nor will I ever write, Legolas sprogging, but I'm guilty of doing it to Buffy within recent memory, and with the tongue removed from my cheek for once.

I have no idea what goes on in puppyslash.
In many other fandoms, there are major awards that are usually a good arbiter of quality. Like The Spookys, in X-Files, or the Halos, in Buffy.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
No, Am Chau. No, it really wouldn't. Have to say I stand with Askye in the Elves Aren't Sexual corner, and I've yet to find MPreg a good idea.
I have, however, read several surprisingly good Buffy-has-a-baby stories (looks pointedly at PMM and Herself) and I don't have any problems with it conceptually - Cordy has been impregnated with demon spawn several times and Darla had a baby, so it's not like the show's writers wouldn't go there. MPreg, on the other hand....
Actually, if I'm wholly honest my Sam-Love isn't all about getting into his Hobbity knickers. I just love him. I do maintain that Hobbits have the sex, because they're all over the whole eating, drinking, smoking, rollicking in the hay thing, as far as I can see. Very Anglo Saxon. But my love of Sam is pure and obsessive, because he is Sam, and thus worth dying for. Or killing for. Rather than based on "Oooh! Pretty!" Although he is that too.
