This is a review I just got on ff.net for Seven Sins:

This was pretty good except for the ending. You ruined the whole thing by
having him go after Carter. He should have gone after the first pretty nurse
he saw but no, you had to play to the J/S fans. I'm disappointed in you.
 
"Play to the J/S fans"?  Um, I am a Sam/Jack shipper.  Although I suppose it went from a completely teamy fic to slight S/J at the end but I didn't think I played it up that much.  I really wasn't even thinking Sam/Jack really when I wrote it but I guess the line the nurse says sold it as that.  Sigh.  There's always one to complain about something.  And they always reply anon or without a ff.net account so I can't reply back.

Being a shipper myself I don't really think of these things.  Do you take out any shippiness in an otherwise teamy fic to please the non-shippers or add ship in to please the shippers?  I write what I would want to read.  I like to read ship.  I love team adventure fics, too, but love when they have the shippiness in the background.  So, of course, that's what I write.  To be accused of putting ship in to please shippers cracks me up.  I put it in to please myself.

One freaking scene and it ruined the story for this guy (the name on the review was "John").  Oh well.  Back to what I was doing... which I can't remember right now.  I think I was going to go get myself some dinner, lol.

OMGROTFLMAO

"John" wanted Jack to go after a Mary Sue instead of Sam, Daniel, Teal'c or Janet? That's a switch!

> Do you take out any shippiness in an otherwise teamy fic to please the non-shippers or add ship in to please the shippers?

I write whatever I wanna write, but I label the heck out of it so that anyone who wanks won't have a valid reason to whinge.

I guess my problem was I didn't see the scene as shippy. At least not when I wrote it. But I added in one little line from a nurse about Jack kind of attacking her then leaving because he was looking for someone else. The line had been slightly different in my 1st draft but the way I worded it in the end sounded better to me.

But I guess that shifts the whole attack Sam in the shower scene look shippy. I guess, also, people automatically think because he's acting out "lust" it must be romantic and therefore shippy. As to why he didn't just jump the first woman he saw... I thought of it more as he spends most of his time with Sam so if he's going to be lusting after anyone it would be her whether he wanted to be romantically involved with her or not.

Kind of like Sam picking Jack in the Broca Divide. There were lots of men in authority around her but she chose Jack, she saw him as the strongest, best mate at the time... probably because she spends most of her time with him. If she had barely known him she surely would have picked someone else.

Does that make sense?

I just didn't see the scene as outright shippy. Other people like to read into it though. Sigh.

Dang, that locker room scene in Broca Divide? I wanted to take Jack's place, because Alpha!Sam is NOMNOMNOM.

And as a primarily Jack/Daniel 'shipper, I can totally understand Sam or Daniel or Teal'c wanting to jump on top of Jack. I'd jump on top of him, too.
