I was randomly digging through files on my old computer and stumbled upon a ton of unfinished fics that somehow never made the jump to my new little laptop. Tucked among them were my still languishing super dark Sam whumping opus that I conveniently managed to forget I had started, a post-threads how did Jack transfer to Washington fic (that I might just pick up again), and this, my first failed draft for the
samcarterfic ficathon last year. I wrote for the fabulous
shutthef_up, which just made the whole ficathon that much more difficult. Seriously, that ficathon kicked my ass for some reason and to this day I still don't like to look back on that fic. (Mainly due to my secret fear that I am unable to write Sam in a non-romantic setting. Or maybe I still have a futzed up definition of 'gen' in my mind. I dunno. Either way, I had a hard time with it.)
But, in the name of ficamnesty, I offer the finished, but thrown away first draft for the
samcarterfic ficathon.
