Yeah, Sure, What the Heck-
Yoinked variously from Beckyh2112, Avocado-Love, Attackfish, and Suzukiblu. Have at it, folks- I shall do my best to answer.
I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!
I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.
And it seems like a lot more fun to do that than to do working.
So, if you wanted, ask me questions! (Or use this to ask your flist to ask you questions).
What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.

As for fetishism, I have my best friend the trans man egging me on to write, which soothes my cis guilt some. (he's just so happy to see something written by a cis person about a trans character that isn't about the transition or specifically about being a trans person, and he's my best friend, so I don't know if his approval speaks to quality or not). Your mpreg is less disgustingly heteronormative than most portrayals, which puts you ahead, right?

*hugs* It's definitely one of those norms that's pervasive- everything living wants to breed, even if individuals can have very good reasons and desires not to. A lot of our behavior is built up around it, to the point where it remains even when the core reason becomes irrelevant. I choose to see it as the creation and raising of the next generation being the important thing- the methods used to do so are diverse, and none inherently better than the others, so long as it results in a happy, loved next-gen.

*hugs* Not having your body be the way you want it to sucks.
