Personally? I neither love nor hate mpreg. I don't seek it out, but I don't avoid it, either. And most of the mpreg stuff that I've read has been simply hilarious.
Usually because the author is clearly staking out one of the men as the woman in the pairing, with clear and obvious "see? he's PREGNANT! that makes him the GIRL!" overtones, and who *wouldn't* find that hilarious?
Then again, I should say I'm not particularly offended by fics where one of the two is portrayed as a girl (in R/S this usually involves Remus craving chocolate, being bookish and unwilling to put out, etc etc etc). I mean, they're probably not realistic, but a fic doesn't have to be realistic to make my reading list.

Not sure if *any* of that was useful...
