Mpreg I Get it Even if You Don't! :)

I was reminded of when I first started writing, I began with fan fictions I think that was three or four years ago. I thought it would have been easier for me to ease into the world of becoming an author. Truth be told I was on fire and could feel the apprehension at starting my writing career at the same time.  Over the years I'd read plenty of novels before finding fan fiction. And after reading more than I could count on my fingers and toes, I was completely convinced that I was ready to start writing. But there was one problem. I didn't know what or where I wanted to. It’s pretty easy for some writers to sit in front of their computer and craft a story in hours. And there are other’s that can plot a whole series in hours or days. I’m the in between writer.
 
I’ve tried plotting, and I’ve tried sitting down and start writing but found they were not for me. Every writer has their own writing technique. And what they prefer to write. If you're wondering where I'm going with this, just give me a few minutes or seconds depending on how fast you read. Every fiction writer I know or have read their novels love romance. Romance is the central theme of their story, whether it’s gay or het fiction. But here is the difference. In het romance, a woman can get pregnant because it’s natural and it wouldn’t be looked at as weird. But when it comes to mpreg I notice some not all readers turn their nose up to it.
 
I love reading and writing about male pregnancy. It’s new, it’s different, and it's all fantasy. What’s wrong with reading a book where it’s natural for a man to get pregnant naturally without the invention of science. I understand the apprehension some readers have about the idea of reading a novel where the guy end up getting pregnant, carry and ultimately delivers the child. And you know what? I had the same apprehension before I read one of the sweetest book about a guy getting pregnant and having to deal with it. Of course he was an alien, but still, it seemed natural. I know what some people might be thinking. If a writer is writing a man trying to pregnant they trying to turn him into a woman. And honestly, that is not the case.
 
Writers who build a story around mpreg knows they’re writing about a man getting pregnant. They are aware of the gender differences. But isn't that the reason we read fiction and fantasy? Isn’t it also the point? We all read fiction for one reason to read about a world that doesn’t and would never exist.  Male pregnancy is fun to right. It’s fun to build a large world where a man can get pregnant naturally

As I said before, I understand, to some readers mpreg is strange. To picture a man waddling with a large stomach, it cannot be real or conceivable. But I ask the same question isn’t that what fiction and fantasy are? And to add another question isn’t the writer's job to make it believable? And my answer is yes. Our job as the writer is to keep the reader engaged in the story we are telling that reading about a man getting pregnant is nothing but an everyday occurrence.
 
But you know what? I get and understand mpreg even if some readers don’t. It's why I include it in my novels. Believe it or not, there are times I start out writing and tell myself that this one will not have mpreg. But in the middle or the end of writing, my muse, plot bunny or whatever is my inspiration throws me into that direction.  Think of it this way werewolves, vampires, and any other mythical creature aren't real. But we love reading and thinking about the possibility of them being real one day in the past, present or future. Like I always tell myself every time I sit down and write a story. Fiction is just that fiction and so is mpreg.
