To be fair to the mods, there were two things on the list that they might have considered plot instead of kinks: mpreg and vampires. But I'd listed mpreg among my squicks, so vampires it was.
I don't think I've read horror-mpreg, only the schmoopy stuff (or stories that started out as horror and then became schmoop when the babies were born). There are times I've been tempted to write mpreg where the pregnant character is absolutely terrified and angry about his pregnancy and has to confront gender issues from the stupid people who immediately start to treat him differently, but even that probably would not be convincing.
I, um, speak from personal experience on the losing-interest part. ;) Thankfully, I've done only with original fiction.
