Mpreg fiction

[certainthings]

For those that dislike/hate/loathe mpreg fiction in whatever fandom you read in, do you just hate written mpreg fiction? Or do also dislike/hate/loathe movies like Junior. What about the tv show Alien Nation where the men would give birth? Or is that different because they were aliens? How about the episode of the Cosby Show where all the men were pregnant and gave birth to weird things like sandwiches and a blimp of orange soda? And I think a model boat was involved too. Sure, it was a dream but still. Mpreg.

Can I ASK anymore questions? Apparently, yes.

i just want to know the MECHANICS of it
i am not happy or amused if the fic goes into endless detail about everything but fudges about the mechanics
and there are lots more issues and anxieties related to pregnancy and the idea of men being able to have babies that i want to see acknowledgement of.

Okay, yeah. That makes sense. *nods*

That's something I have to agree with. I can't stand it when an mpreg fic just completely glosses over the mechanics because then it might as well be a pregnant woman they're writing about.

The first mpreg fic I ever read and still one of my favorites is poisontaster's "The Killing Moon" because it does go into more detail on the weirdness of men having babies, pregnancy issues, etc. And it's semi-post-apocalyptic and loaded with John, Sam, and Dean angst out the wazoo which is a plus.
