Oh help. cfeng - in reponse to my previous post - has challenged me to write an mpreg fic where the characters both remain clearly male. My complaint against mpreg was that the pregnant one gets turned effeminate, OOC and then you might as well read het really.

It's not like I've got time, but I want comments. Should I even try? I'm tempted because I can't resist a challenge. But I have to get past the ewwwwww factor first. Help me out.

Well, I've written an Mpreg fic before... completely stupid, all of it. It's hilarious - not finished, probably wont ever be for that matter, but damn, it's funny. It's Aragorn/Legolas, and Legolas is the pregnant one - suffering from morning sickness and moodswings... it's all very, very silly.

I cant think of a way to write a serious Mpreg... you could always just try to play it completely straight (if you excuse the pun), taking it quite seriously, but ending up with a funny fic because of that...

As far as the, ah, mechanics go... C-Section, anyone? Sex can be normal gay sex, but it'd have to be a C-Section for the birth (if you're going to go that far, of course), or the baby could come out more... interesting orifices O.o; *coughs*

I'm not helping, am I? LOL

I'm slightly tempted to do it as Viggo/Orlando and have Viggo as the pregnant one. Just because I'd expect it to be Orlando. Maybe I'll write it from Henry's perspective.

Damn. Now I'm thinking about this as if it'll get written.

have Viggo as the pregnant one.

Now see... that's what I thought you should do! Just because it is so unexpected, not only because Orlando is typically portrayed as the more 'girly' of the two in any fic like this, but because Viggo's so much older anyway. I mean, I wouldn't want to be faced with the prospect of a baby at his age. And writing it from Henry's perspective, that makes it all the more different.

Now I'm thinking about this as if it'll get written.

Isn't amazing how these bunnies can take on a life of their own? *g*

That sounds absolutely interesting (because what jasmineskie said *points below*), so I dearly hope that this bunny turns into a story one of these days.

:) I think it probably will. It just has to wait in line for a bit while I get a few other things written!
