I've been working on my sj-ficathon fic. I've got it half done, I'd say. It's nothing earth shattering... the requests I got were fairly fluffy, which is nice because apparently fairly fluffy is what I do best.
Someone described my Sam/Daniel as "humorous angst" the other day. It sort of got me to thinking about where I'm coming from when I wrote S/D, as opposed to S/J. I suppose with Sam and Daniel I usually feel like the times they would come together, it would be out of some shared emotional experience. Sam and Jack have that inherent attraction to each other in canon that is easy to borrow from when writing, but Sam and Daniel have a different dynamic and I've fallen into a habit of using similar types of scenarios to bring them together. Save that very first S/D fic I wrote, it's always either alcohol or some sort of traumatic experience offworld. I'd really like to break that mold... but I'm not entirely sure how to do that without also veering into ooc territory.
Sam/Jack is easier to write for me, because it's easier to just watch a certain few scenes and get inspired. But I love Sam and Daniel and I love them together and see so much potential that I want to tap. I wish there would be another sd-ficathon. I work well under the pressure of a deadline, with someone else's prompt.
