Subject? What Subject?

[rekall]

A review I received a few minutes ago:

how can yami have a baby with no labour? even if he has a c-section he has to be at a certain point in labour! and don't tell me i'm wrong because i'm not!! and what's with the wadjet eye thing? is that even real??!

Although I did send back the person who left that review a nice reply, her comments annoyed me and need to rant.

I mean I realize that this is an mpreg and thus is far fetched but why is it assumed I did absolutely no research for this fic? Did no one read the Authors Note where I said I've been working on this fic for 2 years? I haven't just been wasting all that time being lazy. The Internet is a vast and wonderful thing; it's not difficult to not only find research on every subject imaginable but also people to talk to who are experienced.

However I did have to laugh when she asked what the wadjet eye is, lol. I imagine next someone will claim I know nothing about Egypt when I've only been studying it for the past 15 years (I get the feeling that is longer than this reviewer has been alive).

I don't have the exact reply but I was nice about it. I explained that some c-sections are planned and there is no need for labor. I also explained that the Wadjet eye is the glowing gold eye that appears on Yami's forehead when he uses his powers and that Marik also has the eye when he is around.

It doesn't surprise me one bit about her age. I could tell from her writing that she seemed young. I don't know why she thought that she knew more then I did.
