(I feel like I should post something else so that this isn't adjacent to the last entry, but I don't have anything else to say at the moment)
So, mpreg, yeah? I was scrolling through someone's fic today (for purely non-entertainment purposes, actually) and came across this gem:
The doctor said it's a boy. Since you know, I'm a guy, [character A is] a guy, [character B is] a guy... There's no girl DNA... So the baby can't be a girl.
Seriously, people. I will suspend my disbelief like you have no idea. I am on your side here, but either make it all the hell up, or spend 20 seconds on wikipedia. I'll even forgive you for not having learned about X and Y in school, because I know people are science-averse. Just, seriously.

Date: 2009-08-26 08:20 pm (UTC)I recently read a fic set in NYC where the author either put the Brooklyn Bridge on the wrong side of Manhattan or mixed the Hudson and East Rivers up.
This is much, much more painful than that. It's even more painful than mp3 players at Hogwarts.
