I do remember there used to be a vast majority of bottom!Draco fic when I was a lurker first got into fandom (around 2004, maybe?). Perhaps this could have been discouraging for the top!Draco writers? But yes, then DTH came along and fixed that -- interestingly enough, it's one of the few fests that keep on bringing new writers to the fandom every year :) Or at least they're new to me!
I'm not so sure about readers though. I'll admit I'm one of those writers skewed towards bottom!Draco (not in my reading habits, but definitely in my writing ones), and every one of my stories featuring intercourse got at least one comment/email/PM telling me how 'while it works perfectly in this story, I really prefer to read Draco topping'. So, you know. It's perhaps a thing? :)
