mpreg doesn't even hold a perverse secret dark fascination, even if it's been dealt with in mainstream movies. Pregnancy fic is kinda right out for me as far as interest. Even less interested in someone clumsily exploring what it would be like for a man to have a baby. Bored bored bored. Sorry, my biological clock was broken the day I was bored born. No interest in babies. No interest in watching men deal with it. It's not a squick, just a ridiculous and tedious and boring topic.

Anyone who's adamant enough about not editing her stories that it needs to be in bold and caps...really doesn't care much about their stuff and neither do I. And if they can't even spell their declaration of bravado correctly, how much hope is there?

I absolutely fail to get MPREG. I hear people saying the love the body horror of it, but most of the stories where I see it come up are hopeless schmoop and seem to indicate childbirth as the ultimate token expression of love between two people.

Which? Barfomatic.

Some great art, mostly weechester, some great schmoop.

The first art is amazing, and I'll forgive the too-blondness of it for otherwise being exquisitely perfect.

The third has weird alien head going on.

Thanks, Julie

I'm not sure what the third one is about. I wish I could read the Russian. Because that Dean looks like he's much younger than the very old Sam in the foreground.

All the kid Winchesters are very cute, and the last one with the chubby handed Sam is adorbs.

not a prob, Deb!

ita, apparently the caption for the weird young alien head reads "art to fan fiction Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown by marina_ri". Not much.

Okay, I definitely want to read that story. Squicks aligning, of course.

childbirth as the ultimate token expression of love between two people.

This bugs me even in fics where I don't have to nail my disbelief to the ceiling to buy the concept of the pregnancy. Not to say that kid!fic can't be well-done, it's just that I see kids used as shorthand for domestic bliss a bit too often for my tastes.

As for RPF, I'm not sure I understand its appeal. It strikes me as being original fic or rewrites of popular movies/books/etc. with the various actors playing various roles while keeping their names, but I'm not sure that's an accurate perception on my part. I don't read RPF for reasons I won't go into at this point, but I'm curious to know if my interpretation is off the mark in any particular way.

Sometimes I read stuff that is really badly written/edited, but there is a good story or solid elements, and I wonder if it's worth an email or a comment that says "every typo or grammar issue throws me out of the story, please have someone beta your stories"

Since I stick to the AU's that are, yes, basically original fiction with the boys names and faces slapped on, there's that. The ones that summarize "after season seven of Supernatural wraps" I avoid. The appeal for me is the pretty faces that I know. It's different than the canon of Sam, Dean, and Cas turned into AU's in it's appeal, where even if they're wildly OOC, at the least I can still imagine their faces.
