Ditto when I said that the pains Harry was feeling reminded me of labor pains.

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean. In the story? Information about Jim's writing situation?
Also, If I knew what you mean, I would then have to judge if this is something that should be RAFO'd as beta exclusive info.
Dina:
Oh yes, poor Serack :P

If it was a story about Harry going for ice cream, that's all that it would be about. The info dump would be like if while going for ice cream, Harry was reminded of when he and Eb had went for ice cream, and you learn more about their relationship. Or maybe while going for ice cream, Thomas drops by and talks to Harry about what's going on in his life... That's my idea of an info dump. Information given that isn't directly connected to the little story unfolding.

Hmm, rate that against, say Day Off that was supposed to be about Harry having a date, but revealed things regarding his Warden/Paranet travels, Molly's training, and supernatural STD's? There was a lot of information not related to the planned events, but not as an exposition dump where the bulk of the text is off-topic, a flashback, or a story-within-a-story sort of thing.
