Wingfic is, er, fic where people grow wings, or just have wings, inexplicably. At least that's my understanding of it, never having read it myself. I hear it was very popular in popslash.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Maybe we need to start a wingfic challenge, the way the Bad Elf stories swept LJ fandom a few years back. Those were FUN.
I wonder if I still have my D'Argo-is-an-Elf story on my blog somewhere...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wingfic always made me say "huh", followed shortly by "but why?". MPREG, otoh, is sickbadwrong. Totally different vibe.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Farscape had canonical MPREG and it was fucking great!

Okay, I'm penciling in "inappropriate wingfic challenge" for this spring sometime. Gotta do Yuletide first.

The mind is an odd thing. I have no problem reading about rough anal sex, but even the hint of mpreg and BLEH.
Sigh
Off to seek more Draco fic...

SA tried to explain the Wingfic thing to me once. I'm still scratching my head.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Ah, I remember my days spent questing for that elusive beast, Sports Night MPreg.
(Which I finally got as my first Buffista Secret Santa gift, but have never spotted in the wild.)
(Though I almost wrote some once, just because I could hear the dialogue between Dan and Casey. However, dialogue alone does not a story make.)
Red Dwarf had MPreg as canon.
