Jack/Sam shippers...

[jennickels]

I signed up to do the het_bigbang with a Jack/Sam story but now I can't figure out what to write.  So I was just wondering what all everyone else likes to read in a Jack/Sam story.

I know what I like to read... something adventure oriented with a bunch of angsting and UST with maybe some resolution at the end.  I usually don't read fluffy, romantic stuff (sometimes I get in a kick, especially if it's humorous, too).  I guess I also lean towards a hurt/comfort story within the adventure.  Did I mention I like adventure stories?  I tend to want to write them but they always come out super looooooong.  Which is great for het_bigbang.  Not so great when I'm trying to finish stuff up or for other challenges, lol.

So what does everyone else like to read?

And any plot ideas you've been wanting to read but haven't found written yet?  Or just general ideas.  I have a tentative storyline but I'm open to suggestions/ideas on plot.

Hey! I have signed up to het_bigbang too! (Although I'm Firefly-ing it with a Mal/Inara romance, ahhhh, what was I thinking? Why did I read the Serenity Visual Companion drunk and get a stupid plot bunny from it? WHY?)

But Sam/Jack... I love anything adventure too, especially if there are puzzles which have to be solved (like Da Vinci Code or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and I also sometimes like fics where they have to pretend to be married for local custom's sake. Mmmm. Definitely humour. Ooh, I also like secret identities a whole bunch, and stories where the Stargate goes public, and camping stories, and ones where the characters have to start (actual) sleeping together and then when they get back to real life they can't sleep without each other, and and and... ahhh. What's the vague idea that you already have? :D

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).

Me too! There definitely aren't enough people still writing Mal/Inara. Looking forward to reading yours. A plot bunny from reading the Visual Companion drunk sounds like it'd be verry interesting. :)
