Sorry that it took me a while to respond...my inbox is being flooded with comments/messages from over 3 months ago! I guess LJ is deciding to fix all the little things that make us go crazy.
I think you summed it up well; I'm pretty much the same way. If a story or characters are badly written, I'll stop reading. I have to really get into a story to really enjoy it, so what's the point of sitting there, reading through a story that doesn't keep your interest or is so way off base that you can't even wrap your head around the idea?
Mpregs are a bit iffy, though, because we all know that's not gonna happen. It is more believeable when it's Sam/Dean, because, like you said, so many things could be the cause of it. Any RPS mpreg stories, since they obviously aren't realistic, are harder to get into. But it never fails...give me a good Jared mpreg story, and I'll sit there are read til the end.
I have to agree with you about The Seahorse...it's easily one of my favorite stories (and the sequel is pretty damn good, too).
