LOL, those sound a lot like my story preferences. I love a good ole cliche fic: trapped off world, local customs made them do it, etc
I love to read the really well crafted puzzle solving adventure stories. Or just one in general that has a bunch of twists and turns. I'm not very good at writing them, though.
My vague idea has them on a slightly advanced planet when a natural disaster hits (in this case a tsunami... came up with it after the Japan thing) and most of the town and the Stargate are wiped away. So they are stuck and don't know where Daniel and Teal'c are. But there's so much devastation they can't go looking for them. Instead they help rebuild the town but the stress of the situation gets to them and eventually they grow distant and Sam starts seeing one of the locals which just causes Jack to get all jealous and withdrawn and he leaves. And then more chaos ensues (this is the vague part... not sure what can happen to each before they eventually get back together and get home).
I think I like writing adventure for longer fics because you can get a lot of words out of describing disasters and stuff. I haven't finished most of my action/adventure stories so their not posted but they are my longest stories. Every time I've tried to write a short adventure piece it ends up going way over the word limit for the challenge or I stop to write something shorter, lol.
But I also came up with another story idea the other day which was all drama and angst... it was an AU of Shades of Grey where Jack's mission doesn't go so easily and he's drawn into Maybourne's underworld so deeply he's kind of stuck but SG-1 don't know he's undercover. A year goes by with him separated until he finds Sam as one of their captives and he's supposed to interrogate her (of course, while his associates are watching). After he helps her escape.
I'm not sure I can get the total wordcount. I tend to get blocked with big complicated plots (last year's Nano fic is a prime example... it sits at 56k words and I'm stuck and it's only like half done, lol).
