Fpreg, FTW!

1. My exposure to this concept consists only of Bill Maher making fun of it on HBO last night, but apparently, scientists can now engineer a baby with three parents (two of which must be female). If fandom does not jump on this as a way to make Teyla/Jennifer, Elizabeth/Janet, and Vala/Sam have babies with each other, I will sorely disappointed!

2. Also on Bill Maher last night, Janet Mock was a guest. After the show was over, Josh said he might buy her book because he doesn't know very much about transgender issues and he'd like to. I don't know anything about Janet Mock or her book and whether it would be a good resource for him. Has anybody read it? Do you have other recommendations for books he might read? I think he's looking for something more in the memoir vein rather than something academic.

3. 15 days at 10,000 or more steps!

4. I think I am finally, finally getting better. Two days ago, I pulled several muscles in my abdomen while coughing. Those are still sore, but I feel much less congested and haven't done much coughing. I also don't feel as tired and run down. Only a month to get here. *sigh* But the good news is that Emma and I can finally start testing perfumes again!

I've written sga fpreg! But only a ficlet. Buffy/faith too, and I implied in my house/foreman Mpreg epic that fpreg was just as likely. More people should definitely get on this bandwagon.

Bless you for your fpreg activism. LOL

I have actually never written fpreg. I should make that one of my goals!

[intrigueing]

Ouch! That sounds terrible. I'm glad you're getting better though!

[lunabee34]

Thank you!

I am glad to be (mostly) well.

There was an article about the OT3 fpreg in our local paper! My first thought was, "Ooh, one step closer to real-life lesbians getting to have kids with both their genes!" Though it sounded like the ratio of genetic material was skewed like 98% to 2% in favour of the nucleus donor, which makes sense. Still. I'm not into pregnancy either for myself or in fiction, most of the time, but for them as are...awesome news!

I know very little about Janet Mock but everything I've heard has been positive.

[lunabee34]

Yeah, I didn't get much of the science of it out of the joke Bill Maher made LOL, but it sounds like a cool first step and definitely something fic writers can play with. :)

Somebody on DW has read the Janet Mock and said it was good.

Yay for steps! And I'm glad you're feeling better! (Or on your way to it. *g*) *hugs*

Thank you, sweetie.

1) That's mindboggling and fascinating!

4) And yay for finally getting better. *hugs* Hopefully there'll be no more coughing-related injuries!

[lunabee34]

I hope so too! I am so tired of coughing. No more coughing, ever!!

*Hugs*
