Hi Galadriel, thank you for your reply and explanation, but I have to say that you misunderstand me a little bit from some point.
I do know what you said about the "Western-based slash fandoms don't follow the same rigid pairing constructs as yaoi fandoms. The pairing listing doesn't follow seme x uke format, as whomever is listed first is the whim of the author, not a reliable indication of top/bottom", and I totally prefer this western way than the yaoi's top/bottom way, because I care more about if the pairing is Sean and Viggo than if Viggo is bottom in a slash fic. For example, I would read a ViggoXSean fic instead of a OrlandoXViggo one. However, the thing is, VigBean being together is my priority doesn't mean I don't have personal preference about their positions. But I think this is only about my own taste, like someone don't like AU background, or someone only reads happy ending fics. And when I post this entry last night, I didn't think too much about it. Maybe just like you said that most VigBean writers are in the VS wave recently, so I was just like, oh, I want more VigBean stories, and if Viggo is bottom, it'll be even better. Or similar to "I've read dozens of angst ones which really move me, but can somebody write a happy ending one?"
And another thing is, I just notice that you post your new fic DIY at possibly the same time yesterday, I'm really sorry if my words upset you, but my post definitely had nothing to do with your fic, I do apologize if I made you feel bad!!!
