Actual mpreg in action and 5 posts of the past

[misscam]

So I read this yesterday and nearly chocked on a pasta piece:
Thomas Beatie, a married man who used to be a woman, is pregnant with a baby girl

Real life mpreg. Wow. I'm not sure what my reaction is apart from blinking somewhat stupidly at it. Huh. Mpreg.

Stolen from the flist:
Fannish friends! Languishing in your archive are posts of great justice loveliness - meta, fic, icons, random babblings that you suspect may have been written by the LJ fairy while you were sleeping. Some of your current flist may never have seen them. Some might be horribly embarrassing to you now. But don't be shy. Share 5 posts (or whatever random number you fancy) from the back catalogue of your LJ.

1. Cam's Tales of Batshit
Campfire tales from the depths of fandom. Starring I-believe-a-pixel-elf-is-real, Hellfire of Incest Love and Muslim Hate, the Tinhats of Infamy and Babydoll and the laminated letter.

2. Cam's Open letter to Doctor Who Fanfic Writers
Years on, I could still rant about several of things I did then.

3. Ten Lessons the Doctor Learned From Sex and One He Didn't / Rose Tyler's History of Sex / The Art of Not Having Sex.
I can use sex as a plot. Hurrah?

4. Down the Rabbithole With Bad Poetry
In which I wrote a love poem for Bush and probably made lots of people be convinced I did drugs.

5. On the soapbox about rape.
Not so much fannish, as something that cost me a lot to write up and I'm still very glad I did.

Gimme some of yours.

That mpreg story made me o_O. The picture totally weirded me out (and I don't normally weird out easily!).

Yeah, I know, there's just something so... WHAT WHAT about it. Not in that it's gross or something like that, just... So unexpected it's jolting.

[myshka23.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Certainly it's right up there for most unexpected/unusual news story this year!!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Unexpected!male!pregnancy, coming to FOX this fall.

[myshka23.livejournal.com]

I'd lol, except it's Fox, so I guess anything's possible?!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Of course. We are after all talking about the channel hosting 'journalist' Bill O'Reilly, or Spokesman for Brain Implosions Ltd, which he's better at.

[myshka23.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Bill O'Reilly = all kinds of fail!!

That was my exact reaction, only with more laughter. xD

Oh god, you had to say that, and this song triumphantly returns to permanent repeat in my head...

I'm sure you already know, but since you did link to the post where you discuss Link's Queen...

She's back on FF.Net, and she cites you as her motivation:

Has had motivational inspiration due to one famous author, despite we parted on realitivly bad terms, I do account much of my desire for improvement to her. Thanks for everything still, Miss Camilla Sandman.

Best. Headline. Ever. I'm going to read the story now!

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Best line ever:

One resident, Josh Love, told ABC: “I couldn’t say that he looks pregnant. I can stick my stomach out and almost make it look like that. I think it’s kind of bizarre. I don’t know if I believe it or not.”

SO random comment.

You were recced at ihasatardis. :)

I saw that article a few days ago.

Mpreg... for reals... Oh noes...

Then you get into the whole debate about, but he has a uterus... but that makes him a her. Oy. I can see this become wanky very easily.

I was wondering when you'd hear about the mpreg story. I'm half-amused, half-huh-well-whaddya-know?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you did this meme, as I think I had missed all of those posts. Have recced the fics, which are fabulous. I'm glad you wrote the rape post, because it's important.
