Hi guys, I was just browsing for any new stories that might be interesting - and quite often, I take a peek into the reviews to see what kind of people seem to read a story and what they write about it.

I just have to copy this review here, it is such a perfect example of HORRIBLE aspects in HP fanfiction:

"I think Remus should buy Harry something. Maybe Harry and Severus can "get together" for Harry's birthday. Definite yes to becoming animagus. Severus would do well as shadow pheonix I think. Maybe the transformation could remove his dark mark since pheonixes are pure and all that. Same thing for Harry only maybe he could be a white spirit phoenix. Or maybe they could both be wolves/ snakes of some magical sort. It would be nice if for once his friends did stand beside him. Hermione's always been more accepting for the most part, but maybe this would be a bit much... until she wrapped her mind around it. It think Harry should end up pregnant after his first time. This is Harry Potter after all. Even if they use contraceptive. Harry's really powerful. I think twins. One boy one girl. Great writing as usual "

(It is a review on "Haunted Jades Eyes" - needles to say, I will NOT read this story).

Can anyone, anyone explain me where this bullshit comes from?
Why shadow phoenixes or white spirit phoenixes? In most stories where any kind of special phoenixes appear, they do not have any major influence on anything? And I know that it is nothing new but does anyone know where this horrifying fascination with "MPREG" is coming from? I know that it is usually supposed that rather young female HP fans adore this stuff but WHY? Any ideas?

 

we have pet peeves for this and also fanfictions worst summaries

Edit

Don't worry I made this exact mistake

 

Ah, oops, yes.

 

There's also the long forgotten Fanfiction's Worst Reviews.

 

We actually haven't had a topic on slash/MPREG stuff for ages.

Honestly it doesnt bother me at all. It comes from the same aspect of guys liking Lesbian porn/erotica. You don't have to read it, there is alot of shit out there, of all sorts.

If this is how someone enjoys their fanfic, good for them. Hell ask 99% of the members here and they will admit to starting off with horrific tastes in fanfic, I starting reading Harry/Ginny fluff pieces.

A lot of them grow out of it as their views of sexuality mature, and some don't they enjoy it as grown heterosexual men enjoy lezbian erotica.

Horroble fanfic is horrible, but the fact it is slash/MPREG is irrelivant.

 

I have nothing against homosexuality and homosexuals and of course there is great literature, even fanfiction with gay main characters.
But outside of HP fanfiction, I never heard of "mpreg". It is not the usual kind of fetish, not like lesbians are for men.
It is really weird in my opinion.
Principally, in some kind of sci-fi story or something, it could make "sense" to somehow.. engineer a solution on how to make men pregnant or something. But in those stories? Uargh.
And shadow-phoenix/wulf? Brrr this already shows how unrelated it is to any kind of plot, it is just some - weird? - imagionation ...

I sort of understand why to give Harry a super strong animagus form. Or maybe a "cute" one. But shadow-phoenix, spirit-phoenix, white ice phoenixes etc etc etc? What are they supposed to be good for, why do people invent them?

 

Never heard of it? There have been Hollywood movies about MPREG. Junior with Arnold Schwarzennigger.

But the reason it isnt common is it obviously needs some massive tool to make it work, ala Magic.

 

I've always wondered if the type of person who writes a review like that searches through fanfiction like I do but inverted.

"Hmm, interesting premise, oh, it's a Harry/SomeGirl, lolNOPE!"
"Oooh, that sounds cool but... oh Harry doesn't get pregnant? Pft, why would I waste my time with that?"
"Hmmm, that sounds awfully boring and cliché but it's Harry/Draco! I shall manfully (womanfully?) attempt it!"
"Is that even a story? The grammar makes my eyes bleed but it's Harry/Severus and they have a daughter called Raven. Maybe I'll try the first chapter or two."
"This story up to its eyeballs in clichés could use a couple more, perhaps I'll leave a review asking for Harry to be a multi-animagus and perhaps he can have a male harem because I can't choose between Draco and Sev!"
"I'm a bit bored of all the mainstream pairings today so I'll skip the Harry/Sev and Harry/Draco fics. Perhaps there's a new Harry/Fenrir fic been submitted..."

 

Thats like asking why people ship naruhina

 

Hey fuck you. NaruHina is adorable.
