Huh?

[bluespirit]

So I've just seen that 'Make a wish' has been listed in response to a post at sgagenrefinders asking for 'married life' McShep stories - which is really nice of the poster. However, he/she adds a warning note for mpreg.
Um, 'Make a wish' doesn't include mpreg. Henry is conceived/carried by an Ancient gestation device... probably - I don't actually state it & John just surmises that when he sees that particular 'vision'.
So... should I say something? I don't want to look like a pedantic, overly-involved writer (even if maybe I am *g*) but, on the other hand, if it had included mpreg I would have warned for it.
I don't want to seem ungrateful - it's really flattering that someone even remembered some of my fic to list! *g*

EDIT
Okay - so I've left a comment thanking the poster but also pointing out the error. Hopefully they won't take it the wrong way. I am really grateful that anyone would think to rec one of my fics, but, on the other hand, I don't want something mis-labelled.
*fingers crossed*

Yeah, that's what I was thinking - the mention of mpreg might put someone off from reading.
I think I'll leave a polite comment & hope for the best. :-)

I certainly won't read MPREG, not even when my favourite Due South writer writes it and that's saying a lot.

Good idea. I do hope the person takes it in the spirit in which you intend it.

I don't mind mpreg - though it's not something I've read much of - but I can certainly understand people wanting a warning for it.

I'm delighted (& relieved *g*) to say that the poster has responded in a thoroughly lovely manner. Yay!

I just can't get past the impossibility of it. It wouldn't be so bad in futuristic fics, as who knows what will happen? But in the here and now, I cannot suspend my disbelief that far. It's not a squick just a 'can't/don't buy it'.

Oh, that really was a lovely reply to you. I'm so glad it's all worked out with no bad feelings or people (not you) flouncing off.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can see that. It's not so bad in SGA - there's always some wacky Ancient device that can allow it to happen! *g*

Yes, I'm so happy it all worked out in such a friendly way. :-) It can be so difficult when you have to rely on text only & can't use voice inflection & facial expressions!

I can imagine that could help, yes.

I'm really pleased for you too. I know how these things can flare up so easily.
