Is it a kink to see a man preggers, or is it more a fifteen year olds (/iz mean) fantasy to have bebbies and mpreg is the stylish solution when slashing men?
More the first, I think.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I think that's an unnecessarily reductionist interpretation. Mpreg has a long history in fandom, and there probably are as many reasons for writing it as anything else. From kink to exploring alien biology to subconsciously applying a heteronormative framework on a gay relationship to actively fucking with the gender binary.

Plus the "let's force the tough guy to be nurturing" thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't forget the body horror--that's the most cited factor of appeal that I've read in discussions of the topic.

Yep.
With mpreg, sometimes you get charming Good Omens fic... and sometimes you get assbabies. There's a lot of range.

Hi, I think I strongly desire to run away to Chicago and marry you right now.
(Your spicy brain explanation was actually hotter than most of the MPreg I've read.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
David Hewlett just tweeted:
"How can the Ultimate Slash Madness Tourney NOT be going McShep's way!?"
With a link to the voting. There's an emoticon I'm looking for, what is it...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think that is the conservative, most clearly supportable version of sentiments in that general vicinity.

I am sorry that Colin didn't get an overly ficcy fandom. I'd love to have seen him play with shippers.
