I prefer my characters to switch roles, and none of my characters is exclusively a top or bottom. You're absolutely right in it being both unrealistic and outright boring. I couldn't enjoy just one position for the rest of my life, so why would I write that? And emotional depth is what makes a character memorable. Men feel emotion, although certain societies expect men to pretend that they don't. Granted, I draw the line at the ever-sobbing perennial bottom (if I cried every time I had sex, I'd worry!), but I applaud you for letting your male characters show emotion. As far as the little whiners who want their uke/seme pairings that never vary, I say let them read a good boy-love manga since I'm quite sure they need pretty pictures to get the point of what they're reading anyway.

When you are in your profile, look on the left side of the screen. You should see two menu panels, one headed Profiles and the other headed Members. Under the Profiles menu is a clickable link called Stories Written. That will take you to all your stories, sorted by subdomain.

Talk about a Darwin Awards candidate. Tigers are maneaters by choice because we're soft, easy prey. The tigers were just being tigers, and he was attempting suicide by large cat.

If you're writing in third person, I would honestly say to do the prose descriptions in what you're most comfortable with, which in this case is British English. There are so many published authors who are British, who write prose descriptions and narrative in British English, and then do dialogue in whatever idiom is appropriate for the character. As a reader, I've never found it the least bit jarring, as long as it's consistent.
