A smutty question for Smut Day

[pride_of_erin]

Okay, time to discuss smut in order to get my mind off the fact that I spent a half hour this afternoon cleaning shit off a three-year-old child who'd some how managed to smear it over virtually his entire body - ah, the joys of Early Childhood teaching. Why did I want this job again?

Anyhoo, on to the smut - recently, I've been pondering the very important and philosophical topic of topping. Namely, who should be doing the topping. Now this has become a question for me, in light of all the SGA fic I've read in recent months. Oz was my first ever fandom, and when it comes to smut in Oz fic, I really don't have a preference either way - Chris topping, Toby topping, it's all good. Of course I've always liked the smut scenes where the boys switch off and each have a turn the best, but either way is just fine with me. So I assumed that I would be like that with any fandom slash pairing I got obsessed with. But SGA has proved I'm not.

When it comes to SGA fic, I am a Rodney-on-top girl all the way. I have no idea why this is. Perhaps because the very first one I ever read had Rodney topping, but I don't think so. It's really quite strange, and very annoying because I can't figure out why I feel this way. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy John-on-top fics just fine, but there's always a moment when a voice in my head says, 'Oh damn, why couldn't they have put Rodney on top?' before I get too immersed in the *guh* to care.

So now I'm curious - what 'topping' do my Oz and SGA peeps prefer on their B/K and/or McShep 'desserts'? Please leave me a comment so I can satisfy my curiosity.

Of course, I'm quite happy with well-written stories that have any of those guys on top, but I have a slight preference for Chris on top and Rodney on top. I think my preferences probably have to do with what I find more plausible. I can see all of those guys topping at least some of the time, but I suppose I imagine Chris being the sort of guy who would just end up on top more frequently (he's naturally very aggressive, likes to feel in control, etc.), and I imagine Rodney having more hang-ups and insecurities about conventional gender roles (not to mention the possibility of pain, LOL). I can see all of them being reasonably flexible in their preferences, though.

Mmmmm...a nice thing to think about first thing in the morning. *g*

(not to mention the possibility of pain, LOL).

Hee! Never thought of that perspective, but, yes that is so Rodney! Like, "Ow! Would it kill you to be considerate and remember that I also have to use my ass for sitting in the morning?" *snicker*.
