I think the lines for ruled paper might be slightly more wider than college ruled, but nothing like the evil wide rule. Ugh, a pox on wide rule.
*would like lines to be about half the size of college rule*
Hmmm...I was toying with this idea in my brain...
Yay!
I think you're directly responsible for 95% of the fic content of my brain at the moment.
To me, it's not so much their relationship, but their relationships with everyone else. I imagine most people would want to protect a pregnant woman and to have her be the boss would be interesting to me.
Oh! Okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that would be an interesting dynamic...although it brings up bad Janeway/Chakotay fic memories. (Liked the couple until Janeway went all creepy emotionally-manipulative, hated a good portion of the fic.)
I'm afraid fics that cover other people dealing with a relationship (especially Other POVs, again done well, not Mary Sues) are another guilty pleasure of mine. Voyeuristic, I know.
Ooooh, those are fun. *has been quietly working away on one this week in the brain*
I didn't really think it'd be something you'd write; it just popped into my head and you know my filter. ;)
You have a filter? I thought it was permanently broken... ;)
I don't tend to like the stuff on tv, since I get kind of bored after awhile (and so do the writers, oftentimes), but it's kinda fun in fic for me.
(As an aside, I find it highly amusing that sheppard_n_weir is discussing this very thing right now.) I like humorous kidfic that also reveals something about the characters, like Natalie's Rosefics. Or if having a kid is an integral part of the character in canon--i.e. Janet and Cassie--then I can deal with less-humorous stuff, as long as its believable.
I think I'm just fascinated by pregnancy and babies in fic. There's so much change there. (Plus sometimes I get in a hugely mushy mood. :P)
It's the hormones! Auuuggghhh! [/lack of any maternal instincts]
Anyway, it's a weird personal preference. Ignore it. Go with the funny. Write!
*types away*
Also, I am glad those kids are gone. They can show up for humour and the like sporadically, but otherwise? No, not on the show, please.
I had a horrible feeling that Jinto would turn into Native!Wesley, at which point I would have to stop watching Atlantis. But they wouldn't ever be so cruel, 'cause they're not Star Trek. Right?
