labellementeuseOkay, so good things about tonight (or at least, anticipated things.)
7:30 pm Joey
8:00 pm Scrubs
8:30 pm Lost
(So Joey will be funny rubbish, Scrubs will be good, Lost... I don't know. I know a LOT of people who are raving about it. So... well, we'll see. :P) Oh yeah, Lucy, DON'T FORGET LOST tonight (She totally will. I have to ring her.)
Bad thing about tonight:
So I was having this conversation with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gabbysun about mpreg, how creepy and badfic it is, and she asked who could have possibly thought of it. And I was going to say "Obviously someone TOTALLY DERANGED" (I'm sorry. Mpreg creeps me right out of my skin and all the way to Auckland. *shudders*) BUT THEN I REMEMBERED. There is a really, really good, very vivid and striking science fiction short story that I have read. It was by one of the masters- probably Asimov or Bradbury, but I'll take side bets on LeGuin and anyone else you feel like- and it's about a woman- alien- spider- who sleeps with men and leaves them pregnant. I suspect this to be the origins of mpreg except I can't prove it because that's ALL I can remember. I'm going nuts, people. So yeah, help me. Old-ish story, and the title may- stress that may- have been "Black Widow." Quite vivid physical detail of the pregnancies, disturbing but good. I remember it very well except, of course, for the author, title and collection bits. *eyeroll* So help? Please? f-list?
