How can I incorporate pregnancy into this fanfic?

This one.

I already did it for my Mai Hime fanfiction, my Tales of Phantasia fanfiction, my Fushigi Yuugi fanfiction, and my Ayashi no Ceres fanfiction, so I figured I might as well do it for my Final Fantasy fanfiction, too. The problem is I can't really think of a way to justify it since the biological conditions in this story are a little bit... uh, different.

Any suggestions?

p.s. It's not porn, dammit.

You should explain more considering I know nothing about the characters or your story.

"I wrote a pregnancy into all my other fics, I might as well do it in this one as well, even though it doesn't fit" is a crappy reason to force a pregnancy into a fic. Don't waste your energy on it.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

This. If your plot doesn't call for pregnancy, don't try to force it in.

That's why I'm trying to make it fit. :/

Why do you want pregnancy?

Read my stories!

Procreation seems like the next logical step in "Guy seduces girl to help him take over the world." The guy in this case just happens to be an indistinct spectral machine-god.

...and this is the next logical step now? Seriously?

Question: Do you consider your incorporation of pregnancy as Author Appeal, or a Creator Thumbprint?

A little bit of Column A, a little bit of Column B, and then all tied together by Writer on Board.

Pregnancy huh? Like broken-rape-then-pregnancy or happy pregnancy?

Completely disregarding whether this is a good idea or not, I really doubt a pregnancy is the only way to solve whatever problem your story has in order to advance the plot. I find when I beta for people they get hung up on thinking they need their characters to do something that they have to wrestle them into because it makes no valid sense, and then as I talk it over with them, they start to realize there are alternatives that both accomplish the same thing, are neither insensible nor convoluted, and improve their plot and story.

I think you should think about what you actually want the outcome to be at the core. This pregnancy is probably not the ultimate goal, the pregnancy is supposed to accomplish something else. I think you'll be able to figure out an alternative that way if instead of thinking "How do I get them pregnant?" and starting thinking "What do my characters want and what is a believable way they might attempt to achieve that?".

Uhh, what does it qualify as if she's happy about it, but mainly because magical rocks broke her mind and mentally conditioned her into being happy about it?

...not all one night stands will get you pregnant. And if you just said it doesn't work in the verse, why would it be a logical step?

Read my stories!

You should have the man get pregnant.

Forget the tropes until after you're done.

Serah impregnates the fal'Cie that's controlling her?

That would be... unique.

^^In fan fiction, not really.

@OP: I think you're trying way, way, way too hard to get attention.

A brighter future for a darker age.

Sadly, I have to agree with Morven. If it doesn't fit he universe, then it really does seem like an attention-getting thing.

Well I guess I'll just go back to editing the Viper article, then.

I weep for humanity if this is what you seriously believe.

;—;

EDIT: Wait, are you really planning on having Serah be impregnated by a fal'cie?

Because that is all kinds of levels of wrong. L'cie are slaves by definition.

It qualifies as a very disturbing story about slavery.

I'm also having a hard-time fathoming why on earth a Fal'cie would want to impregnate a human being. Fal'cie are way above biology.

No. Not planning, at least not yet. At the current stage, I'm still trying to analyze how feasible it would be if I did.

This is the sort of reaction I'm going for.

Half-Fal'cie offspring would give them the means to physically interact with humans instead of just indirectly manipulating them from afar?

Just an idea.

If that's the sort of reaction you're going for, you're on the right track. :D

Your story... Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Plot-wise, I mean.

Pardon me for asking, but why would Serah be willing to murder Snow? How would she be able to lift the sword? She was twig-like in the game.

I mean... What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the story?

I mean, it goes against the whole idea of what the Fal'Cie wanted to accomplish. They WOULDN'T want half human children, because not only do they see themselves as better than humans, and thus a half-breed would be unworthy, but it would go against the whole idea of them being Gods. It is imperative that people don't know their focus. The Fal'Cie operate on fear. It's sort of a statement about blind faith and religion in the game.

Read my stories!

I don't get this either.

Apparently she's going to be mind-controlled by the fal'cie or something?
