what in the name of Artemis Midwife is this 'mpreg' stuff? Why am I seeing rumours of pregnant hobbits named FRODO??

Is there ANY point in asking 'why'?

Because they want to write about guys and sex and babies, without that icky 'het' thing getting in the way.

At least, I think that's it. Personally I wouldn't go near an mpreg fic with a ten-foot barge pole. :S

WHEN did het become 'unfashionable' and/or 'icky'?! It was good enough for 99% of our parents, wasn't it!?!

Honestly, I have no idea. From what I've seen though, slash is very big in the LotR fandom. I've even come across a Frodo/Sauron fic, which made me want to spork my own eyes out.

Personally I prefer het over slash, although I do have my OTPs. ;p
