I wish that icon would move a little to the right. Just a tad. ;-)
I just stumbled upon Seeking Knowledge. Oh my! I think it was written fabulously. The description of Daniel's curiosity and the realness and rawness of the moment was just beautiful, to steal a quote from Daniel. Amusing moments too (Gaydar!!) and the questions part. Oh, that made my heart melt. I thought you wrote the characters well. I could see this happening vividly in my mind. I thank you for sharing.
And about Sam...I can't get into her either. I like AT. She is funny and sweet, but I can't stand Sam. Mostly, it happens that when I'm starting to tolerate her they writers make her totally stupid with some new SuperGenius! trait or the Sam/Jack shippiness. Gag. I like to read fanfic where Sam's faults are there for everyone to see.
Just my two cents. Nice journal. Maybe I should get one? Hmmm...
Thank you so much for the kind words, Boo. I'm glad you enjoyed the fic. I see Daniel as being very curious about everything, and of course that would carry over to Jack. Which Jack may or may not appreciate.
As for Sam, yeah, I really want to like her. But mostly I just feel kind of 'eh' about the character. Not the mention the Sam/Jack stuff, which doesn't work for me in so many ways. It's so insulting to her character.
