An in process update

A huge thank you to everyone who voted in the poll.  I now know what I want to do with this blog. 

Over the next couple of days I am going to make some changes to get it all set up.  Once I’ve got it all ready I’ll go ahead and announce what’s going on and hopefully get this blog back up off the ground.

What would you like to see from TheMpregFairy?

For the past 4 years my blog has been pretty inactive. However I would love to try to do something with it, I just don't know what. So what would you like to see from this blog?

I was talking with my friend today and she brought up thempregfairy and asked if I was ever going to do something with this blog again. The answer is, I don’t know. See I want to come back, but I’m not sure the original purpose of this blog still stands. Originally thempregfairy started as an argument platform against those who condemn mpreg, with a side of archiving. However I don’t want to spend all my timing arguing. There are some people who can not be swayed and arguing with them just really takes it out of you. The way I see it is that I can come back and either archive the mpreg tag, or become a rec blog where I and others through the submit feature can recommend fics/art/etc. But I wanted to leave it up to y’all, after all there’s apparently 935 of you. So please click over to this survey. It’s one question quick and simple. There’s also an other option if you have a different idea you want to share.

So an update on the poll! So far there have been 16 votes, which is really a lot better than I was afraid of (no votes). Becoming a rec blog is in the lead with about 50%, Resource blog follows with 35% and Archive blog has 15%. This is giving me some really good ideas on what I want to do here. (And ultimately I make the final decision because it’s really my time we’re talking about here) The poll ends tomorrow afternoon/even when I get home from work so if you haven’t voted and you want your voice to be heard please do so! And then over the next week I’ll make blog adjustments and get organized. 

I’ll also be doing some promoing for another exchange that I found that might seem relevant to your interests! So stay tune for that! I hope to get that posted tonight or tomorrow, since they’re still in the nomming stage.

Damn, I'd love to participate in the exchange, but definitely don't have time at the moment. I wish I'd found out sooner! Will you be running it again next year?

Hopefully. It’ll depend on participation this year.

What is the name and autor bart Jaime fic mpreg gen meta? Sounds god, sorry for bad english

Hey. 

I’m not sure exactly which bart/jaime fic you’re asking about but I’m assuming it’s the one I mentioned in my Mpreg and Abortion post? If so, then it was a fic I was working on but ended up dropping. If it’s a different fic then I can do some digging and see if I can find it. Where did you see it mentioned? 

[thempregfairy]

Some quick statistics for you

A lot of the time when people complain about mpreg they complain about how prevalent it is. However I wanted to show ya’ll some quick numbers, since our perception of somethings prevalence is deeply subjective. 

(All of these numbers were collected via the search bar on AO3 as of this morning (April 25, 2016). They do not take into account mistagged or untagged fics. The only exclusions made in any search are those that are mentioned with the numbers.)

On AO3 there are 2,247,808 fics. Of those fics 19,591 are tagged Mpreg. That means that 0.87% of fics on AO3 are tagged Mpreg. 

However when we discuss mpreg we generally only mean in fics marked M/M since there are very few F/M and even fewer F/F (in fact I didn’t even check, are there mpreg fics marked F/F?). So if we cut down to only M/M fics then there are 1,589,144 fics (which is 71% of fics on AO3) and  only 18,548 of those fics are tagged mpreg. That means that 1.17% of M/M tagged fics are also tagged mpreg. 

But that doesn’t give us a good basis of comparison so I did a few other unrelated tag percentages to give us a grounds for comparison. Coffee Shops AUs account for 0.14% (3223 fics) of all fics on AO3. Fake relationship AUs come in even smaller at 0.056% (1269 fics). These however have much more specific guidelines than Mpreg so lets widen our comparison again. There are 308,065 fics marked Fluff. That’s 14% of all the fics on AO3. A more direct comparison would be fics marked PWP. Here we have a tag that like mpregs has very loose guidelines, and a smaller audience than all of general fandom. there are 28,555 fics tagged for PWP making it 1.3% of fics. 

So really when we say mpreg is too prevalent in fic we are talking about a trope that is between 0.87-1.17% of all fics.  There are 2,228,217 non-mpreg fics on AO3. So if you don’t like mpreg, you have PLENTY of other options of fics to read. Please stop complaining that there is too much mpreg.

Oh! and by the way only 62% of fics tagged for pregnancy are also tagged mpreg. While this might seem high, please take into consideration that 71% of all fanfics are marked M/M. So it seems to me at least that the high prevalence of mpreg fic compared to pregnancy fics is just a symptom of fandoms preference for M/M over F/M or F/F.

TL;DR

Mpreg only accounts for 0.87% of all fanfiction on AO3.  When we look at the numbers we see that mpreg is not that prevalent in fanfiction, it’s just more popular than highly structured AUs (Coffee Shop or Fake relationship ranking in at .014% and 0.056% prospectively). That leaves 2,228,217 fics on AO3 that are not mpreg. If you don’t like mpreg please read one of those fics instead.
