HAHA well, I guess what I mean is that I don't do the hardcore kink...I like someone tied to the bed and teased until they beg, but not tied to the bed and beaten, or wrapped in cellophane and duct tape. You've... actually run across fics with those kinks? I'm trying to think back, but I can only think of 4 or so fics that go beyond light spanking or other types of light physical pain (and only 2 of those were in SGA and tried to show the relationship as a healthy one since I'm excluding non-con). Although, I suppose there must be more, since when I started writing this, I originally said none, but more and more kept popping up in my head. Fanfic seems to be the place where everyone explores light bondage.
I don't dislike all kidfic. I generally like the QaF fic with Gus, but then he's a canon character. I don't dislike all kidfic. I generally like the QaF fic with Gus, but then he's a canon character. :P See, I have a really strong maternal instinct (to the point where at certain hormonal times in my late teens I wanted to jump the nearest man and impregnate myself, I'm so not joking) so I love those kinds of fics, but yeah, it's just one of those things that you either like or don't.
It really all depends on the author and whether or not the kids are unrealistically precocious. Yeah, that gets me. I wonder sometimes if the author has ever spent anytime around actual children. There are some fics where the kid is supposed to be 5, talks like a 3 year old, thinks like 10 year old, and never does anything bad. It makes you wonder, since it doesn't matter how good the kid is, most people wish they'd go away, at least for a little while, at least once a week :P
As for mpreg, it's just totally EEW! to me. Like scat and water sports. Like I said, I couldn't take mpreg in the QaF fandom, mostly because no one was able to *handle* it at *all* ("Oh, didn't you know? Men are just *able* to have kids. They forgot to mention that in canon, but it's true.") and the fact that, as you said, there are already kids on the show, and so they already have an established way of getting kids if they want more for a fic. But with fandoms like HP and SGA, well they already have all these things that are outside our norm, that adding mpreg can be doable, even if it's still a huge stretch. Also, I love fics that mock mpreg like theseones (QaF) or Fuzzy Duck Smell (SGA).
Now, if something is too off, like dialogue that a character would never say in any realistic interpretation of canon, then it'll throw me clean out of a fic, but otherwise I can be a bit bendy. Ha, there's a discussion going on in a comm I'm in about dialogue that throws us out of fics, specifically when an author does a bad job of writing a character whose nationality is different from their own. Nothing can throw you out like that. I remember having a discussion once with sunshineandrage about a QaF fic where Brian and Justin went up to Canada to visit Gus, and the amount of things that they got wrong about Canada... Or when people completely change the way Rodney speaks in SGA fic, because they're trying to make him sound "Canadian" but don't realize that how Rodney speaks on the show, is how most Canadians speak. Of course, I notice the Canadian thing a lot, since I'm Canadian, I'm sure a lot of non-Canadians wouldn't even notice.
There are a lot of fics that "people in the know" have gone "Pfft!" at that I really like, and fic that others have gone apenuts over that I didn't particulary care for. Yeah, it's that reaction that kind of made me write this post. Jut makes me wonder sometimes, ya know? :)
