Oh help. [livejournal.com profile] 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.

of course you should try. and what ewwwwww factor? just because it's impossible...

I am sure you can write mpreg. Not all mpreg fics have the "mother" acting effeminate or OOC. I have read some pretty nice fics/role-playing :)

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've never read mpreg- I guess that is my last 'squick', after I got over RPS (and boy, did I!) But i'd say if you tink you'd like to try it, go for it.

By all means, give it a try. You're a competent writer, I am sure you can keep it within the bounds of what you think is realistic and what isn't.

Part of the fun of being a writer is to enjoy the writing process. I don't think it should be a painful process...
If you don't enjoy it, don't do it... if you do, then write it...
Also, I don't understand how you could write an mpreg without the charcter becoming effeminate, everything about pregnancy is feminine.
