Originally posted by Skydiveron the show i don't think i could ever see sam/teal'c as anything but friends.
he's the one person that's been there for her throughout everything. jack's been gone for months, daniel for a year, but teal'c's always been there
i think she depends on him more than she realizes. and i think he's massively fond of her
in fic??? hey, in fic i can have fun, although most of my fic just has theem as friends, not lovers.
out of my300+ stories, just a fraction of them are smut. the friendship angle is a lot more fun to play with
Though I don't mind the pairing, I also don't read a huge amount of Sam/Janet fic either (for the same reasons you outlined, Sky). I can imagine (in my own head) that it could have worked, had those two characters kept going, so I'm not averse to it in fiction; the few I have read to the end (Strix's, primarily) have been quite good, but then again I've been of a similar mind as the author in terms of characterization. I've definitely started a few fics before where I just stood up and walked away from my screen saying: "YIIIKES" to the characterization. In those instances - I don't finish reading.
I'm the first person to admit that I gravitate towards fanfic that's either good team!fic, or good Sam/Jack (or both). Those are my personal reading preferences. Beyond that, I tend not to care to go looking for a lot of other "variety". I'm usually not in much of a mood to read stories that are Sam/other or Jack/other (within the realm of SG-1), because, well, it's my own little personal fantasy world, and that's simply where my headspace is at.
But I certainly respect the huge diversity that's out there in this massive fandom, that's for sure.

Originally posted by Mandysg1You know it's funny, when you submit a fic there is always a section for pairings. Sometimes I'm not sure if I should put S/J because I try to write it cannon, yes there is UST (never RST, sorry Sally ) and there can be jealousy, but is it really a shipper fic?

Originally posted by minigeekI think anyone writing a team fic that follows canon from seasons two through eight would have to add "SJ UST" to their caveats. It's almost not even worth bothering.

Originally posted by minigeekIf there's a pairing submission menu, isn't there also the option of "none"? I think anyone writing a team fic that follows canon from seasons two through eight would have to add "SJ UST" to their caveats. It's almost not even worth bothering.Yepp, it's blank down here.
