a very scientific poll

[schmerica]

Hmm, one of the threads in the comments to estrella30's latest story has me vaguely curious. Poll!

I mostly just read the other F/K, as you probably know from reading this journal, but I'll go ahead and put Vecchio in the poll, too, for those of you who swing that way.

[Poll #278955]

This is really what I spend my time on when I cut class. I maybe should be a little ashamed.

See, I just don't think about it like that -- I think the dynamics of each story are (or should be) different, and who's on the bottom is determined by the individual circumstances. Likewise who's sucking who (whom?). So there is no answer to this question, for me, unless I can say "all of the above".

Or am I taking this all much too seriously? *g*

[bluster.livejournal.com]

I'd have to agree with you, and there's no such thing as taking due South slash too seriously. That being said I voted for Fraser across the board. :-)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know. If we started a holy war or something about it, that might be a little too serious.

[bluster.livejournal.com]

Good point. :-)

[ineke.livejournal.com]

That being said I voted for Fraser across the board. :-)

Dude, totally *g*. Except, you know, Fraser being the sluttiest bottom ever could just be my personal kink...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*g* Dude, I didn't even vote for slutty bottom Fraser, but it *is* a pretty thought. Mmmmmm.

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

Hey, me too.

Fraser is such a slut--at least in my fantasies. :D

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, I agree with you to a certain point -- I certainly write them in different ways depending on what's right for the story, and I can see them in pretty much any combination. But there's still a certain perception of the characters that's strongest in my head (or maybe just most satisfying?). But, you know. Different strokes.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

::licks your icon::

Different strokes, indeed. I will say that I like it when the less experienced of the pair bottoms, especially if it's his POV.

What were your votes? I'm curious now.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

You can see what *everybody* voted for by clicking the view answers thing. Mine were RayK, Fraser, Fraser. But I think it's one of those things where my answers would probably be different if you asked me at a different minute, they'd end up a totally different combination. (Like, just right now, I'm thinking happy cocksucking!Ray thoughts...)

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmmm. Those are *very* happy thoughts...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Especially for Fraser, I imagine.

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know, Pearl. I think your education is being put to good use *g*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*snicker* I'm trying to think of a way to justify that in educational terms, but I'm still coming up with nothing.

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

I find it interesting that the poll is split so evenly on 1 & 2 -- proof to me that Our Guys are flip-floppers, not stuck in one role or another.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*nod* I find that quite amusing as well. Plus, it makes the contrast on #3 even funnier.

[heuradys.livejournal.com]

You know... I'd have voted the Turnbull-ticket if I'd been able to...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awww. I apologize, maam. That was inexcusably thoughtless of me.

[heuradys.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's okay!

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

There's nothing Vecchio wants more than a hot throatful of dick, but he'd rather die than admit it. Most people just don't understand him like I do. :)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*snicker* You just couldn't resist being unique, right?

Serious answer?

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

Canon Fraser is no doubt the most orally fixated character, barring vampires, that I've ever seen on TV.

And as to the top or bottom issue: One reason I like this fandom is that I don't seen any of these three guys as just one or the other; I see them all as versatile. But a good author can make me believe that, in the context of a certain story in a certain relationship, one guy is dominant.

Weren't you the one looking for pretty Ewan icons?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Nope, sorry -- you must have me confused with someone else.

Hmmm

I think maybe it was velvetglove...
