Dude. Thank god they are few and far between, because I really can't handle fic that deals with infertility. Not because it hits too close to home, but because after five years of dealing with it myself, and three years of treatment, I know far too much about the process to not read these stories and go, "What? WHAT? NO. That's... NO. OMG. ( Read more... )

Mrg. You definitely know far too much about that subject. [hugs you]

Carbon dating is when humans go out and have a good time as a prelude to sex, as opposed to two rocks sitting in a field ... right?

Now that (either kind) is the kind of fic I could get behind. *g*

Well, you see, when a carbon with 8 neutrons meets a carbon with 6 neutrons and falls madly in love....

Some days I really enjoy being out of Higher Ed Admin! Thanks for reminding me. Though I never understood the types who hated it all the time, you know, the "This would be a great place to work if it wasn't for all those damned students." folks. They bewildered me. Now, had they been griping about faculty...

Sorry about all the bad infertility fic. If you're going to put medicine/science in your fic it's really pretty easy to fact check it now. I have my own triggers (and a varies lot they are, too) and am right there with you!

Oh, I have days where I hate it all the time, more so as the years go on. :)

And seriously. It's not like there aren't a bazillion infertility blogs out there.

Okay. Deep cleansing breaths. Inhale, exhale... :)

I haven't written a fandom story with infertility, but I did go somewhat into that territory with an original fic, except that maybe I went into the deep end of someone's sanity with it... ahem, let's just say that I hope you never see that story.

The Art Fair always seemed to be too much trouble to go to, despite the fact that I used to work in Ann Arbor for years. And even though I sometimes end up at UofM Hospital, I still avoid downtown Ann Arbor even on calmer days. Those narrow streets are wicked!!

Well, I don't have problems with exploring the emotional impacts of it. But really, treating it has specific processes, damn it! :)

Thankfully they finished repaving Washtenaw the week before, otherwise it would have been a nightmare.

ICK!

No, but the line "Adoption is noble" came up, and that's when my head exploded.
