What I am thinking about right now

brainofckTrust Daniel to do the research. And right now he was waving a well-thumbed copy of What to Expect the First Year at Jack from across the kitchen island.
"See, it's right here under 'Breastfeeding Myths.' See. 'Myth: You can't breastfeed if you have small breasts...'"
Jack was feeling clammy and ill. He was rummaging through the fridge looking for some sort of quick protein. He grabbed a slice of American cheese and unwrapped it. When he bit it, he looked as he always did, at the imprint of his teeth.
"Daniel," he said as he chewed the rubbery cheese, "this isn't really the time."
"'Reality: In no way does outward appearance affect the productino of milk or a mother's abilitly to dispense it. Breasts and nipples of all shapes and sizes can satisfy a hungry baby. Inverted nipples that don't become erect when stimulated may need some advance preparation...'"
"Daniel! Not the time!" he barked in his best drill sergeant's voice, wondering how many drill sergeants had contemplated killing an annoying life partner over breakfast while fending off morning sickness.

Though, you are probably right. Jack wouldn't *really* kill Daniel, especially once he was the father of his child. But think of how he could use a knife as a weapon of terror.

M-preg doesn't *have* to be evil.
Date: 2006-11-03 03:59 pm (UTC)I don't think there is anything inherently *wrong* with m-preg. I think that usually the problem is that people don't write it well *at all.* They turn it into some sort of sappy, goopy, unrealistic thing and feminize the male characters in a way that is completely insulting both to the characters and to pregnant women.
I think if you take the experience of pregnancy, and then map it onto a male character, it should be a good story.
What I like about the sci-fi context is that it gives you the opportunity to add some kind of "realism," whatever that means. Some sort of reason a guy is pregnant. Rather than Viggo getting Orli preggers and you're like, what the hell?!
Now wedding!fic? I don't know if there's any way to salvage that. :D

Date: 2006-11-29 03:57 am (UTC)Wedding!fic squicks me on a whole nother level. Very hard to find one that's done well without once again making it overly the top and sappy. At least for the guys. Heh.
*hugs*
