I do admit to being disappointed when you write something other than Sam/Jack, but that's my problem because I don't watch the other shows for which you write. ::pouts anyway::
But someone said after reading "Rusted Wheel" you were lazy? That was so complex, I had to think as I read, and I kept wondering where you were going. It's obvious you choose your words carefully, and that you are aware of the subtle differences in meanings between words most would consider interchangeable.
I like that you are bold and daring and seemed to not give a flip about all those readers who are afraid of reading a Sam/Jack that don't conform to the fairytale version so many churn out (the ones where if you changed the names the story's the same). Give me angst and danger and yes, even the dreaded non-con and CD, since those are part and parcel of how Sam and Jack have been portrayed on the show.
I also admit to being slack at giving feedback - a "great job" seems to be not of much use to the writer beyond stroking her ego, but when I read, I don't really delve into why I like a story. I know good writing when I see it, but don't ask me to parse the grammar or critique the plotting choices. I sucked at 'interpreting' stories in English class, so I guess I really don't know how to praise a story in a constructive way.
And ziparumpazoo, you can turn off AutoCorrect, you know.
