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?

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.

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.)

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...

Hewlett has an interesting brain.

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.

Colin would be great on Teen Wolf...
