Oh i'm not ridiculing at all! More permutations of human behavior and relationships (and, er, biology?) in all kinda fiction the better. I would never presume to tell anyone what they could or could not write about. I just think it's funny that "mpreg" is an established genre, such as it is. I was wondering about it because it kept popping up in other discussions, unrelated to fan fiction. Mostly punning off of "mpeg".

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
It was good, one of the few Enterprises I've had the pleasure of watching. Very funny. He reminds me of McCoy in the nicest way.

Futurama just had an mpreg story a couple of weeks ago. And Quantum Leap also did at least one where Sam leaped into a pregnant woman.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Alien Nation, like Buffy, was (imho) a case of an idea being developed far more fully in the TV spin-off. I was very fond of it. Lots of nice wee details, interesting characters, interesting ideas. It was fun. And it involved an approach to carrying babies that was a little like the sea horse one, only different; when George & his wife had a baby, she carried it for the first x many months and then it was passed to him to be carried for the later stages of the pregnancy.
The Enterprise ep was okay. Not great, not bad. I'm quite fond of whatsisname - Skip, is it? No. Trip? Damn. Well, the McCoyish one, whatever he's called.

And there is Real Life mpreg--seahorses. I saw one laying its eggs. Crazy!

Clearly it's an idea whose time has come.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Trip.
I was also very fond of Alien Nation.

I read Stitch in Time over the weekend - - what fun. If only the official novels were as good as this.

You know? I'll pay someone to write me The Molly Maguires slash. It's a 1970 (I think) movie I'm watching for class, about late-19th-century Irish Catholic miners and the labor struggle.
Because McParlan and Kehoe are SO doing it.
