I don't like parentfic at all, so I'm pretty biased. But yeah, if my OTP are going to have a kid, I'd prefer they just have one. Partially because I'm big on the whole small families/population control thing and I wish so many people didn't have this idea that more kids is inherently better than less kids.

But also because I tend to feel like the character who bears the children gets turned into an uber-fertile, nurturing type for the purpose of the story. That's not always the case. And even when it is the case, there's nothing wrong with a character (or a real person) who's an uber-fertile, nurturing type. If that's what makes them feel fulfilled, then good for them. But as a woman who doesn't really want kids, and who was an only child, it's not something I relate to at all, and it's not a characterization I enjoy reading about.

So that's my personal preference.

However, I really can't criticize other fanfic writers who choose to make their ship have lots of kids, because that's their personal preference and it's just as legitimate as mine.

You know, "less" is also accepted in English--oh, never mind.

[(Anonymous)]

Not when it comes to things that can be counted.

Not on my watch.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god, kids are countable! And "kids" is a plural noun! Which means it was grammatically incorrect to use the word "less" in this case! HOLY SHIT, ANON! Good thing you were there, or else my comment would have gone off to the printers with that glaring grammatical atrocity all set to stare my reading audience of millions right in the face.

The internet is a tough place to be if you're this sensitive to a simple correction without any personal attack whatsoever.

The internet is a tough place to be if you get in a snit when someone makes fun of you for your pain-in-the-ass-ness. :P

[(Anonymous)]

... except that I'm not the one in a snit, but nice try. :)

[(Anonymous)]

DA Only snit here I'm seeing is yours buddy. The classy thing to do is "hey, you got it", not what you did.

I should have mentioned, I'm not the same anon who made the comment above. I have no personal stake in this discussion. I just think it's ridiculous when someone corrects the grammar of a comment without taking the time to engage with the actual content of that comment. And then can't handle it when the person they were nitpicking makes a joke out of their petty and unhelpful behavior.

Good for you, first anon, for giving this butthurt nitpicker the ribbing they deserve. :D
