12/02/2001 Entry: "Some Places I Should Not Go, And Pregnant Men Are One Of Them."

I had this crack-assed dream last night. It was really really realistic, and while I won't bore you with the details, the gist of the dream was this: a certain friend of mine, who would never in a million years do such a thing, had written a Dias x Ashton yaoific that ended with the suggestion that Ashton was pregnant.
(Yeah, that's right, I had a dream about sitting at my computer and reading yaoific. So?)

And you know, this dream came hard on the heels of an online discussion about things we did and didn't like about yaoi fandom in general. One of my personal hatreds is yaoific writers who happily make boys get married and have babies together. I'll accept a lot in my yaoi, but not pregnant guys. And, well, you already know about my parodic streak. So...

From the pages of Li'l Miss Mooncalfie's LiveJournal!!!
Hot News From The Soulbond Mansion!!!
We're all SO excited over here because Ashton has just announced that he's PREGNANT!! Looks like we'll have to build another wing for the little bundle of joy!!!
Rumor has it that Dias, the thrilled father, has been spotted wandering around the grounds looking dazed!!!!!! Everyone be sure to watch out for him and say congratulations, and make sure he remembers to eat, okee~?!??!!? *g* XD XD :D XDDDD...

... this parody will now be abruptly cancelled, because Mooncalf needs to run throw up. There are some places parodists should just not go.
(And dear god, after well over a year, I've finally broken that promise I made to myself. There are now emoticons in my blog. I'm just glad they occurred mid-parody or I would never forgive myself.)

So you dreamed you were sitting at your computer reading yaoific. Is that more or less strange than the time when I had a dream in ASCII graphics a la Rogue, Nethack, et al? I recall when that happened, I decided that I had been playing too much ADoM recently...

I've dreamt about being "scooped" by another author who posted a fanfic story all-too-similar to mine before I could get mine posted. Sad, very sad.

And why are emoticons ALL evil all of a sudden? Sheesh, moderation is an option y'know. Oh well, I'm the kind of person people study to learn what NOT to do. ;D

I have had at least one dream I remember where I was at my computer. I can't remember what I was doing though.....I'm sorry, but the concept of this whole thing just cracks me up! LOL But I am laughing WITH you, not AT you! You know I'd never do that. ^_'
Love the above parody too! LOL!!!
If anyone ever watches Red Dwarf, there was an episode where Lister was pregnant, but they never went through with it on the show. The show it happened in just ended with him being pregnant. Not....that I'd particularly want to SEE anything else, but it makes you wonder what would happen in those cases....

Oh, you don't want to know, Wolf. I mean, think about the size of the 'birth canal' on your average male... well, okay, don't think about it. Ow.

Emoticons: good! ^_^

Sometimes mpreg is okay, I suppose. But only if it's, like, a sci-fi story and not a *gak* romance story.

I had a whole big rant about the boys getting pregnet thing on my blog a while back. It pisses me of to no end. -_- Unless it's a humor story but I never read those either.
