Poll: Who Are Your Favorite Pairings/Threesomes?

[bradygirl_12]

I had a lot of fun with the first poll that I posted awhile ago, and I learned a quite a bit about what genres people liked in my writing.

I'm now curious about the pairings that I write and people's interest in them. Since if I had chosen to ask you to select one pair, I figured Clark/Bruce would run away with it, due to their popularity and the number of stories I've written that feature them, and while I don't mind them being so popular, I'd learn more with giving you the option of voting for up to four pairings if that many choices please you, and would be fair to pairings that have less stories written by me. :) So, this is basically about finding out your interest in how I write these pairings, which may not match up with your favorites in general.

All the pairings are those who have starred in their own stories.

All the pairings are DC couples with the exception of Steve/Tony (Captain America/Iron Man from the Marvel Universe). I count Smallville Clex as DC. :)

'Other' is given as one of the four choices so that if there is a couple/threesome) that intrigued you that is not listed, you can vote for them. I'd love to have you comment on which couple you're thinking of. Perhaps they were mentioned briefly or in a scene that supported another couple's story.

And even if you don't choose 'Other', I'm always interested in your comments! :)

Thank you, and have fun! :)

This was tough! O_O For my fourth, I wound up having to choose between Dick/Roy and Clark/Dick. For the simple fact that I remember *loving* a particular Clark/Dick fic you wrote, I picked that pairing. :p

Funny how all my choices included two or more from Clark/Bruce/Dick. :p I think I hit all the combinations! XD

Yeah, it's silly o'clock. Time for bed. :p

I'll admit it would have been tough for me to only choose four, too. ;)

Good combos, all! ;)

Yeah, me, too! :)

Thanks for voting! :)

I added Clark/Bruce/Dick to my choices. For the most part I have trouble reading threesomes. Threesomes rarely end up being fair to all three parties involved, one is always the odd man out, so to speak, in one way or another. So, I usually end up feeling badly for the third wheel. Clark/Bruce/Dick (in the few instances that i have seen it) tends to be Bruce and Clark in a well-established, happy relationship that leaves Dick looking in from the outside. With my inordinate love for Dick Grayson (easily favoring him over the other two, no offense to either Bruce or Clark), this usually makes me steer clear of said threesome.
That said, however, I enjoyed your Clark/Bruce/Dick fic and I will happily read that threesome anytime the fic can be fair and equal to all three men. But, I am also overly sensitive and overly emotional. *heh*

Balancing threesomes are certainly difficult, Silver! :)

In my Clark/Bruce/Dick story, I did try to give everyone equal time. :) And, in fact, the only reason Bruce and Clark were already established was because of Dick's age. Once he turned eighteen, he was going to become an equal partner!

You're preaching to the choir about absolute love for our Little Bird! ;)

Absolutely! When I write a threesome I'm always interested in the balance. For purposes of conflict there might be an imbalance at first, but generally I go the route of partners trying to figure out where they fit in and ultimately fitting together.

I do have my own theory that even if Clark and Bruce were lovers and Dick was not part of that, that even if he died Bruce would be so shattered that it might destroy his relationship with Clark. It's just something that's stuck in my head: whether Dick is lover or not, his death would send Bruce reeling.

So, ultimately, Dick is extremely important in my fic whether he is part of the threesome or not.

And I've always maintained that it's never been just the World's Finest duo but the World's Finest trio! ;)

I really enjoyed your threesome story because Ilike the evolutionary fics, those that give us insight as to how things come to be the way they are. So, I truly enjoyed watching the progression of Dick wanting, but unsure, to seeing both Bruce and Clark bring him into their relationship.

I think Dick's death would shatter Bruce regardless of their relationship, as well. Dick is such an enormous and intrinsic part of Bruce's character development and definition, so I agree.

Like I said, threesomes are usually a tough nut to crack unless one is going for isolation on one character's part, which is why I was so pleased with how you handled the fic prompt of Clark and Bruce waiing for Dick to come of age.

The menage a trois thing is definitely a great subject for figuring out how it came about. We're so used to two-only in our society that a threesome definitely need to work out the kinks, so to speak. ;)

In current canon, Bruce loves all his children, but there's something special between him and Dick, no matter how estranged they are.

Like I said, threesomes are usually a tough nut to crack unless one is going for isolation on one character's part, which is why I was so pleased with how you handled the fic prompt of Clark and Bruce waiting for Dick to come of age.

Never let it be said that Superman and Batman don't have patience for things worth waiting for! ;)

I only read stories where Clark is featured prominently. I'm not interested in pairings that don't include him. For my #4 I chose "Other" because I'd like to read Clark/Diana, the only DCU het pairing that appeals to me, far, far above Clark/Lois. I can only stand Lois in certain, very few, stories. :)

LOL! I can see Clark/Diana. :)

I'm all about Clark, if you couldn't tell

LOL! Never would have guessed! ;)

LOL!

Yeah, I probably won't read any of your Diana/Steve... sorry.

LOL!

You never know! ;) I've tried reading some pairings I'm not familiar with if the story sounded especially good and sometimes I've been hooked! But being Clark-centric is understandable to the max! :)

I'm very happy you enjoy my Clark stories! :)

[jeannev.livejournal.com]

Its all about the Clark for me. I think a lot of that comes from not reading comics, so my knowledge of these characters comes from other mediums. And only Clark, Bruce and Lex have caught my attention in those other mediums.

They're good characters to get hooked on! :)

Don't know if you write it, but Brex is hot

I haven't tackled that yet, but I never say never! ;)

I think you probably know which ones I chose! ;)

Definitely Clark/Bruce and Steve/Tony! :D
I also chose Clark/Bruce/Dick for the fun (and trouble) of it...

I am a Bruce/Dick shipper. I like it because of the love between them and they also are each are vulnerable, physically and emotionally. They are two halves that make a whole. I am just the opposite of some, Smallville never aired here, and I have never gotten on the Superman bandwagon. I like the Bats and Arrows for their humanity and vulnerability physically and emotionally. If they get hurt it tugs at your heart because they are like us and they could die. Superman loses it for me because he is invulnerable and I have never forgiven him for stabbing Batman in the back and kicking him out of the league when he started it by giving him the KRing years ago. BTW, I like all your other pairings though. :D

Excellent choice! :)

They need each other like the air they breathe.

I agree with the Arrows' and Bats' vulnerability, but Clark is vulnerable in other ways: emotional, for one. And I've always found that a man of such power choosing to use his powers for good instead of conquest to be fascinating. :)

As for the JLA thing, I think Clark was in a very hard place and any choice he made would have been fraught with danger and possibly betrayal.

As for the K-Ring, Clark gave that to Bruce. It wasn't a secret as I believe Bruce kept his files from the JLA.

But, everyone has their opinions and it's variety that makes this fandom a great one! :)

BTW, I like all your other pairings though. :D

Thank you! Glad to hear it! :)
