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.

A pregnancy doesn't have to make a male character effeminate persé. It could make him more sensitive and more domestic but that doesn't equate effeminate necessarily. Perhaps you can compare it with a man who is preparing for a sexchange. With the intake of 'female' hormones he changes, in body and mind. I am sure these changes are documentated and accessible. Perhaps it is an idea to read about it a bit and see if it can help you write within the boundaries of realism. As far as mpreg is realistic ofcourse....

That's a good idea. Thanks.
