I *love* mpreg in every way, shape, and form. The only thing that squicks me is when people think they are clever and try to make fun of it. That always seem to fall flat and doesn't even have entertainment value. If it doesn't work for you, fine, but harshing the squee for those it does work for is just rude, imo. *shrugs* YMMV.
Oh, and I remember that picture. But, trust me, pantsless!Dan was much nicer to look at than merely shirtless!Dan. ;D He did a wonderful job in Equus.
