1I dunno, because sometimes I think fandom makes more of a point of making sure characters "switch" off much more than may be the case in real life (well, at least in slash if not in yaoi. I don't read yaoi because I don't like the ultra-ultra-strict top/bottom masculine/feminized rules that seem so prevalent there.)

When I talk to my gay male friends in RL, many of them are fairly strictly a top or bottom, or at least have very strong preference one way or another. So I tend to find it more annoying in slash fic when an author makes a point of constantly having the characters switch back and forth (for "fairness" or whatever) vs. one "primarily" being the top and the other the bottom, with some variation on occasion.

Because I do think people do have preferences in that regard, and aren't going to, like, make a chart or something to make sure each partner gets equal time in topping or bottoming.

Oh god. Oh god.

Marry me?

I think it also depends on the characters (in fanfic land, of course) and their characterizations. I mean, I've got a few ships where they'd probably fight for it...(icon very related)

I kinda like fic where they fight for it. :D

It makes things more fun.

Yes. Occasional switching = trufax. "It's your turn to be on top tonight" = not so much.

"fairness" aaa

fail

because bottoming is humiliating and girly and shameful you know!!!

LOL. Yes, this too.

I tend to be a "whatever you can convince me of for the length of this story" person for fan-written work (though I prefer more consistency in canon). So I don't have a problem with one person writing Character A as a total top and Character B as a happy bottom, and someone else writing them differently (though there are exceptions and I have my preferences for various characters).

But this whole "THEY MUST SWITCH OFF" is a little silly, I agree. :D
