I have no desire to read pregnancy fic in general. MPREG, femmepreg (a word I may have made up), preg the old fashioned way, in vitro, immaculate conception.

Actually, scratch that. Immaculate conception fic could be cool, but probably only because I like blasphemy.

But anyway, where I stand I feel like fic about pregnancy is about love and creation and life. I want my fic about hate and destruction and death.

I do also feel a vague discomfort with the school of slashfic that wants no female characters anywhere near their fic. Not saying that most slashers are like that, but I have seen ficathon requests where people say that they don't want females anywhere in their fic, and while that's not an mpreg thing necessarily, it does creep me out a bit. And there's something philosophically weird about placing something that in reality only women can do and men cannot physically accomplish into the male domain. But that's me being over-analytical. Most of what bothers me about MPREG is in the PREG and not the M. To quote Eric Cartman, "don't care."
