Sooooo mpreg. I'm really confused by this. I know they existed in the other fandoms I've belonged but I never read them yet everytime I see one involving Suits, it's like I can't help myself. I am boggled. How does... And when... Anyone write one? Anyone read one that puts forth a halfway believable scenario? Am I over thinking it? Don't answer that last.
I'm going this Saturday to get my hair cut and colored finally. It's been since...February, I think? Actually, I think I had it cut in June but highlights put in last February. It looks about as good as you think it might. I've been growing it out for a while but it's taking forever. It's finally past my shoulders, not that you can tell because the curls make it look shorter than it is. I can't decide whether to have it dyed a rich brown to match my eyes or go auburn. I'm mostly just happy to get it trimmed and shaped.
Eight more days and I'll be on my way to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kiltsandlollies. We're going to the Hallowe'en party at the Magic Kingdom, which has become a bit of a tradition. I'm going as Flora, one of the fairy godmothers from Sleeping Beauty, but young Flora who still has a chance with King Stefan. It's rather nice of her not to hold it against Aurora after things did't work out, even if she was one of the co-conspirators in kidnapping the princess and raising her as their own. I totally considered writing this as a fic.
Work has been rather trying. There was a time when everyone connected with my department didn't have drama of one sort or another connected to them. It's a bit infuriating, at least the ones who bring it on themselves. Despite managing this department for four years, this is rather new to me and I haven't figured out how to navigate through everyone's issues yet. Mostly I've just been radiating disappointment, which had worked to some degree.
This morning on my way out the door, I grabbed Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. I think it's his best work. I only made it through part of the introduction with coffee this morning but I keep thinking about my favorite bits. So far, he's said this, on writing:
Before that, like every beginner, I thought you could beat, pummel, and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.
Ain't it the truth. The things I consider my best stories are the ones I just sit down and write without giving it any really forethought to begin with, and yet I will persist in trying to plan and force something out that I think I should write.
Wikipedia tells me Disney is releasing a live action Sleeping Beauty told from Maleficent's POV in 2014 with Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. Who knew? (No, seriously, who knew and didn't tell me? I miss everything.)

Criticism of this particular fic aside, mpreg in general seems like epic Mary Sue insertion fic, more than any OC with lilac eyes and a flowing mane of hair who simultaneously saves the world while being saved herself by a knight in shining armor. I can see no other explanation. Honestly, it kinda makes me want to give it a go. Like, with the right fandom and the right scenario. It'd have to be sci-fi and involve magic gone wrong or alien abduction or medical experimentation. And horror, right? To not be Mary Sue, the guy would have to be horrified. Unless *cackles* so you have a scientist who has figured out how to self-fertilize like a nematode and decides to self-experiment since he certainly isn't getting FDA approval. And then is delighted when he ends up pregnant. Maybe for next Hallowe'en.
