The only way I take my HP kid!fic is if it's far far in the future and it's Ron and Hermione's kids or Harry and Ginny's kids... or Nevile and somebody else's kids. And it has to be well written.
I don't read most kid!fic because mostly it's just improbable in the fandoms I'm in. Buffy? Yeah, kid!fic wouldn't work. At all. HP? Like I said, only in the far distant future, and definately NOT with Remus/Sirius. SGA? Well...
Okay, so that's my weak spot. I can't pass up a fic where any of the group is either a)turned into a kid or b)left with a kid temporarily or permanently. I do NOT do mpreg, though I did read a fantastic Stargate: Atlantis John/Rodney fic where they both touched an ancient device that combined their DNA and made a baby... essentially a test tube baby. :D It was cute. I'm a sucker for it, what can I say?
Though I have a major stipulation. The kid has to be believable as a kid. I hate hate hate reading fics where 5 year olds act like 2 year olds or 10 year olds, or 3 month old babies are acting like 12 month old babies, or anything like that. Kids must act emotionally and intellectually developed appropriately for the age the child is set at. The intellectually I'll push a little if it's Rodney's kid because hey, super genius likely to have a pretty smart kid... though I don't buy the 5 year old doing complicated physics thing... just smarter than the average 5 year old.
And for the love of all that is good in this world, NO MPREG! I hate it. Despise it. Will not ever ever ever ever ever read it. No way, no how, not by any author out there. JK Rowling herself could write MPREG and I wouldn't read it. :P
