You know you've read too much MPREG fanfiction when...

... you scream "He's pregnant!" instead of "That must be a serious illness!" whenever a character is feeling weak, unsettled and staggers to Hogwarts' infirmary.

Argh. Kill me now. PLEASE.

Have you read Kassandra's "Long and winding Road"? The only MPreg XF story, IMO, that's really good. And the HP/SS MPreg story you mean is "A Life more ordinary" by Lexin, am I right? :-)

And boy, am I relieved you're not actually writing MPreg...

Rushes to scribble mpreg! Just to make you sweat more. :P

How about Snape and the morning sickness?

Hmpf.

Yep.

Just say no to mpreg! You know, I could handle the pregnancy part, but NOT the baby part. Ew.

Yeah, 'Snape' and 'baby' in the same sentence sort of make the world tilt on its axis...

;-)

Besides, I fear I'm too feministic to support this 'epitome of marital bliss' part of the stories -- they're slash, for God's sake! We should finally be able to part with this unavoidable pinnacle of the standard old-fashioned love affair. It tends to go along the lines of: "they meet, they discover tender feelings, then they marry, and finally they have children together". Eeek.

I want them to be men. Otherwise I'd read Harlequin novels. Duh.

Yup. Especially thinking of this as a woman who is NOT about to have kids (no, o, never, ew, and so on), I totally agree.

You know what, lately I've downgraded my future plans from "one kid only" to "most likely no kids at all". Otherwise I'd always have to feel sorry for the poor little bugger, seeing as it'd be stuck with me as a mother. ;-)

The wife of a colleague is close to giving birth to triplets. I feel for him and her both. Urgh. Nightmare!

Poor woman!!!

Went to see a friend with just one kid, and was all horrified of how small her life has become. Feeding the baby, changing the diapers. Trying to take a nap. Feeding again.

Not for me. I'd just have the baby scream, while I put on my earplugs and write more slash.

I do think I'll adopt a teenager or five some day. :P

I know what you mean; two of my friends also have little kid(s). It scares me, how their lifes changed.

Urgh. Forget teenagers. Teenagers are Trouble with a big "T". Don't want to work for school. Need a chauffeur, need money, are never home.

I have a younger brother. Thank God today he's almost grown up; the years before... thanks, but no thanks.
