Re: TFA fics versus other fandom fics

To be fair, there are some details that aren't available. When I went looking on Wookieepedia for birth control methods, all it said was Birth control were methods or devices used to prevent pregnancy.

That doesn't give me much to work from and while I can assume that maybe there's an injection, who knows, a future universe could also have shitty birth control methods and still require pills or whatnot. Or it could be some weirdly antiquated herbal remedy to ward off pregnancy.

And then you have some details like "books and papers are rare" or "dogs and cats are rare", and while it'd be out of place to have them show up in every fic, them existing in a fic wouldn't be out of place in canon.

So, while I agree that people should at least research the canon universe, sometimes earth-based premises are the default for lack of a better, canon option.

That's not really the same level as the anon you replied to's example of using "Sunday" etc. though, is it?

No, probably not. I think my comment just got away from me while I was responding and I lost track of what I originally meant to say. Sorry.

There's always the Force!



(Totally kidding.

That's not how the Force works!

You'd need a third uninvolved party to be the one using the Force like that. They'd have to just be sitting and watching because sex would wreck your concentration for trying to keep a tiny Force barrier up and not have it collapse or go wandering through a person's body at random.

NA, but I think the AYRT was quoting the movie, not making a serious reply.

That said, I like your reply because you've clearly thought about this.

Sounds ideal for a Poe/Finn/Rey scene, then!

UNLESS you're a Master Jedi.


But let's be real: with the EU out the window, what do we really know about the Force? It could work like that.




(I have not gotten over the EU being tossed, clearly.)

I didn't notice. We are talking about Force-controlling semen, so I think terminology can be permitted some slack.

If you can lift an X-wing, you can make a shot of jizz do anything you want it to.

Which is why you should never piss off a Jedi.

Suddenly Anakins birth is a lot less magical.
