Goddesses by Rachel500

there are times when i can deal with OOC fic. for example, sbz's fic could be seen as out of character

Spoiler:

because sam is shipped with ba'al, she's more hard ass than we've ever seen her, she and tealc are closer than we've ever seen them....

but they're all explained and rationalized. In that way, i can easily see sbz's sam as a real sam.

but writing characters OOC to facilitate a plot is a long standing writer issue. There was more than one slash fic wehre jack was a brute and mean and cruel and thoughtless...because it let to selfless little daniel getting owied, then sam and teal'c taking jack to task for being so mean, which prompted jack to apologize, daniel to forgive him and they realize their undying love.

the thing is, switch the names, and there's ship fic like that. where thoughtless jack gets sam hurt so daniel and teal'c can push him into acknowledging his love for her that he's been denying so long.

whatever works, and there are plenty of readers for stories liek that because....well, at the end of the day, we ALL see the characters how we need/want to see them. thus 'in character' becomes a relative thing.

there are jack fans out there that see him as the super soldier and impervious to pain and the OTT hero, while there are daniel fans that see him as the most understanding character in the world because he has to whip these thoughtless warriors into shape.

and for every sam fan that sees her as strong and kick butt, there's a sam fan that sees her in a romantic setting and writes her that way.

about the only character that doesn't suffer much from OTT characterization is Teal'c...and i think that's because there's less than half a dozen people that even write him, so less room for 'error'

I understand what you've pointed out above. However, in the stories I described, there was nothing about the "rapes" that furthered the story. It may have made them a bit more intense, but the story was just as intense without that added to it. And Jack may have felt some remorse for his actions, but very little and he didn't actually apologize to Sam for his behavior. He took advantage of her vulnerability and used it for his own selfish reasons. To me, this is "out of character" fiction. True, the stories showed a side of both characters not shown on the series, but even so, I can do without Sam or anyone else being raped. As well written as some of those stories may be, I avoid them whenever I can. And if an author is offended by my attitude, I apologize. However, I'm sure there are plenty of other readers that share my attitude. Plus, there are so many other fanfiction stories out there that are right up my alley (so to speak) that I could spend the next several years reading them and never get to any of the kind I dislike.

Yea, such is the problem with fanfiction. It can take a lot of wading through before you find a fic that you like; I usually then read stories from that author, before finding others. I find that if I recognize the author's name as a fic I didn't like, I will skip their next story.

[Skydiver]

i understand where you're comeing from, and that's why authors should label fic that has major squicks like that

bad language
OTT violence/torture
character death
non-con sex
graphic sex
kinky sex

should all be warned for when people t ype up the header of their fic, and should be used when folks rec stuff here, just as a courtesy for the fact that people dont' like some of this 'hot button issue' content

[Skydiver]

here's some big honkin angst
http://sharim.livejournal.com/412398.html

and AU character death with a touch of sam and jack

[SamJackShipLover]

I've only found a few times (like 2) a fic was different from what I expected. And those times involved character death (cause, really, I can't deal with that, so if they die for real, I don't read it).

[Skydiver]

there was one, many years ago, and it was a daniel fic, and daniel died and stayed dead...and the author didn't warn for death.

i n ever read anything of hers again

[tagger]

Thanks for all the fic recs everyone!
