There's an excellent Janet/adventure story called "The Measure of a Hero" & I'm sure there are others, but I've only scratched the fanfic surface.

thanks. (it's mine. I wrote it after a friend of mine read me grousing about how bridge could pull a happy ending out of it and i theorized how they could do it and she said 'stop *****ing and write it')
I do agree with you CS, there is some really good femslash out there. Just ilke there's some really good sam/jack and even some jack/daniel (although my slash tolerance for that pair is so massively low that i don't read any any more)
A lot of it is in what you want to see and how yuo want to see them.
I do also agree with you that a lot of the time Daniel is played rather effeminate. Take Serpents song and how he's sprawled all over the stairs. Or his hand gestures on various occasions.
Yes, gestures and posture are not fool proof indications of a character's/person's sexual preferences. I've got a gay guy across the street and if you didn't know his preferences, you wouldn't know. However, i have another neighbor who is rather effeminate in his actions adn i see some of his actions mirrored in daniel's
usually my issue with seeing the boys involved is that i just can't see Jack as gay. Daniel, yes. I can even see Teal'c, as part of his way of life, ameniable and accepting of a same sex relationship. (many warrior races/castes were) but Jack just doesn't work for me.
And so when i read a slash fic, i feel like i'm reading a charicture of jack. some creation of the author who has the name and background of Jack O'Neill but just isn't the one i see on the show
Sam and Janet, maybe i've just found some of the bad ones.
I've found sam usually portrayed as really butch and rather tough and I just see her a bit softer than many authors portray her.
Maybe you could post some links to some good femslash fic?
Just please note that it's femslash so folks like me who surf at work don't accidentally go where we can't. Same thing for folks that post links to some sam/whoever smut.
