Take 2

[castalie]

This morning I signed my contract so I'm now officially hired at the Sorbonne. I handed in the two blurbs I wrote for the Romance Novels of Doom. Then I got back to work and I hired out another camel and a snake charmer.

I feel all accomplished today \o/

Completely, 100% unrelated; so one of my favourite slash topics is Top/Bottom: Who's Pitching and Who's Catching? Because I'm one of those people who have a 'strict' top/bottom policy... which is still the same, my favourite character has to be the one taking it. That's it, no complicated theories, no deep reasons. Favourite character = bottom.

On his back, on all fours, against the wall, bent over the couch, straddling one's lap, in front of a whole audience, with a dildo, I don't care, as long as he's the one getting the deep dicking. As they say *cough*
And after discussing that topic with people here and there, I know that I'm not the only one being kinda anal about it - pun intended if you want to be that way.

So. If you have a couple of seconds to waste spare and feel like it, would you mind indulging me and filling that poll?

[Poll #1203944]

And to those who wish I'd included a 'seriously, dude, don't you have better questions to ask?', my answer is 'obviously not!' \o/ Plus. That is a very important question in my world *nods solemnly*

Yay!

Thanks for the enthusiasm :-)

You're a strong woman, I could never suffer through reading stuff like that :-)

Lol It was a bit of an ordeal, admittedly. Though writing the actual blurb was sorta fun.

Depends on the character, noted.

I won't be even nosier and ask you which characters for which position but I really am curious about what make people tick, I have to say :-)

Maybe because I'm so hell bent on my own top/bottom preference that it's really interesting to see other's different tastes.

Well, when it comes to My Chem my three favourite characters are Bob, Frank, and Gerard and I've got no prefs when it comes to Bob and Frank at all but I prefer Gerard to bottom - I still read stories where he tops or they switch but the sex scenes are better if he bottoms :-) My gateway drug to the fandom where Patrick and I've got no preferences about him either. I've been thinking about what exactly it is about a character that makes me have preferences but I haven't been able to pinpoint it.

ETA: I THINK it's got something to do with how I read a character - if they're clearly dom or sub or, as most people, neither. And the reason why I've got no favourite character who I prefer topping is because I'm not very interested in people with dominant, aggressive personalities.

I was so hoping you'd develop, so thanks for indulging me a little longer :-)

Happy to oblige :-) And you've got me curious, why do you think you have such strong preferences?

Sorry for taking so long to reply, mate!

Okay so I've asked myself that same question time and again and I'm never really sure as to why I have such strong preferences. Why is it that if I'm 'warned' that the dynamics is different, I might not even read the fic?

Guess it's because I like the way the characters are written when they're on the bottom... it usually/sometimes gives a certain feel to the story, how the characterisation is done a certain way...

And maybe the reason is more personal and intimate yet... seriously, I'm not sure.

I guess I have that strong a preference because it's just one of those things, is all *g*
