jennickelsI signed up to do the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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 forhet_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.

Date: 9 Jun 2011 10:53 pm (UTC)Okay--here is what many s/j shippers do that I abhor.
-Jack is a dick
-Sam is a crybaby
-Jack is a bully
-Sam is a virgin? WTF?
-Sam is not smart
-hurt/comfort where she is a crybaby and Jack is her daddy
-she doesn't like sex
-secret room in the SGC
-babies that are stolen by aliens
-multiple children
-housewife Sam
-stay at home daddy Jack
-presidential allowance for breaking hte regs and dating while on the same team
-helpless Sam
-bad driver Sam
-Jack calling her 'little girl"
-sex over a desk
-Sam is scared of Jack's penis
-Sam has never given a blowjob
-Sam has never had anyone go down on her
-nymphomaniac Sam
-rapist Jack
-Thor erases Sam's memory of having a child with Jack and takes the baby
-use of "Oh Jack, you're so big and strong!"
I could go on. I have never found a Sam/Jack story that was good. I crave foran adult relationship bewteen equals who have a great time in bed. Just a grown up relationship. Capable Sam te Colonel with three star General who loves her, doesn't want to dominate or humiliate her. Cherishes her. Values her opinion. You know,m the guy in teh show?
If you could give the fandom that? I would die of squee.

I'm not good at writing them in a relationship so I tend to stay with them leading up to something.

The ones where he is a dick are the ones wehre he is OOC and hits her or cheats. I've read them all. I particularly hated one where he raped her and she "liked it" Srsly,m what?
Pining!Jack is fun and I would love to read good fic about that. Not love stupid Jack but just longing for her you know? LIke in the show? mmmmmmyumyumyum..

Seriously, what? Who did that?
I haven't completely adopted Sam/Jack as one of my Top 10 Stargate 'ships yet, but I'm having a hard time imagining my beautiful, brilliant, kickass Samantha Carter as a bad driver.
Not when she can fly a frelling jet at Mach 3, remote-pilot a UAV FROM ACROSS THE GALAXY, ride & repair a vintage motorcycle, and you know, drive to work every morning without incident.

Date: 10 Jun 2011 12:51 am (UTC)I made a picspam a year ago titled "The Cars They Drive":
http://campylobacter.livejournal.com/43803.html
where we discussed the topic. And even Daniel would be a capable driver, based on how he handled the rented Land Rover in Cairo and given that he owned a vintage Jeep.

Date: 10 Jun 2011 01:07 am (UTC)That's true about Daniel, too, although out of the 4 I think it's most plausible for him being a bad driver.
no subject
Date: 10 Jun 2011 01:15 am (UTC)But he'd still be a better driver than most of the idiots driving here in SoCal.

Date: 10 Jun 2011 10:07 pm (UTC)Vala would con someone else into driving, so she could concentrate on texting.
Then she would Tweet a picture of a hot dog to Daniel, titling it "OMG look at this weiner".

Date: 10 Jun 2011 02:09 am (UTC)Then again I've written some crack!fic with Jack, Sam and Daniel all pregnant (along with Janet) at the same time (Daniel with twins that are also Jack's and another that is Teal'c's), lol.
But I intentionally set out to write something craptastic. I thought it was pretty funny. I had other people take it way too seriously and complain that it was bad (which was the point so I guess it was a WIN for me).

Date: 10 Jun 2011 02:14 am (UTC)The ass babies one was lovely crack (as it were :P). Crack is a world unto it's own, I've written Jack & Danny make a porno to raise money for the SGC, and Sam builds a naquadah powered dildo, etc etc, bwah! ;P

Date: 10 Jun 2011 02:06 am (UTC)Of course, I've learned the hard way you can't please everyone. I had someone argue relentlessly about the ending to one of my fics. She didn't like it and thought I should change it.
OY.

Date: 10 Jun 2011 03:09 am (UTC)That's like making me choose my favorite of my kids, lol.
I think my favorite Sam/Jack one is Plans Change (http://jennickels.livejournal.com/34275.html). It's one of the first I ever wrote--stayed up all night on Christmas writing it actually. And Blame it on the Heat (http://jennickels.livejournal.com/60950.html).
Man in the Box (http://jennickels.livejournal.com/50577.html) is probably the one I'm most proud of it and it's a Daniel goes slowly mad under torture fic. Although I've had people complain about the ending.

Date: 10 Jun 2011 01:53 am (UTC)Sam in leather on a bike is a thought I am keeping tonight though...okay, I'll be the cop and she can be herself...and she can say..."Officer, is there ANYthing I can do to make it up to you?" RAWR!!!!
no subject
Date: 10 Jun 2011 02:00 am (UTC)I guess I missed all the crappy writing because when I first started reading SG-1 fic I went straight to the Sam/Jack rec thread at Gateworld. Almost every story I've read has been recced there (and I'd say 95% of them I liked).
no subject
Date: 10 Jun 2011 02:02 am (UTC)I confess to some dirty, dirty thoughts while watching FiaD as Jack & Sam visit Daniel's apartment, and Jack's in black leather:

And Sam's in black leather:

...just a though they'd been riding around on their motorcycles like a couple badasses.
