Hahaha, I'm going to clarify my anwsers. :D


I'm really very iffy about the mpregs I read. Its easier with Sam/Dean to pull it off, because it could be the result of a curse gone wrong or some other supernatural phenomenon. With Jared/Jensen its a lot harder to pull it off realistically. If it isn't realistic, I can't get into it.

So, while I perfer Sam/Dean mpreg, my favorite mpreg would be The Seahorse, which is actually a J2 fic, but it manages to pull of male pregnancy realistically. Its not, "oh, by some freaky twist of nature in this universe, guys can get pregnant. Shhh, just pretend". Its, Jared pisses off a fertility God and gets cursed. Hey, it could happen.

Really, it depends more on the story itself, not so much the pairing.

Likewise, it depends on the characters are written, not the characters themselves. Pregnant!Dean is great for a bunch of laughs because what isn't funnier than emotionally-repressed Dean being a hormonal, twelve-year-old girl about everything and crying his way through all nine months. But, it all depends on how Dean and Sam (or Jared and Jensen, for that matter) are being written.



I don't know why I bothered with this ramble. Possibly, just because I love to babble at people. ;)

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).
