Oooh, interesting, especially the seme/uke skew in the doujinshi. How do you determine seme/uke? I would suspect in doujinshi it's fairly easy as most of them probably follow the traditional labeling of the uke first and seme second...does the same hold true for the fics? Are you using "uke" as a physical term (the receptive partner in sex) or as a psychological term, and does that make a difference at all? I'm guessing (with no actual evidence so I'd be curious to know if I'm wrong) that Snape tends to be the seme in Snape/Harry and the uke in James/Snape (although the numbers would immediately tell me I'm at least somewhat wrong, since clearly he must be the uke in some of those Snape/Harry ones)... (can you tell I'm kind of fascinated by seme/uke dynamics and the difference between them in Western and Japanese fandoms lately?) :D
