I'm thinking about my stranded thing.

Sam is going to get the chemistry between the guys.

But I want to write one of the guys as clueless.

So. Which one is more fun? A Jack who is self-aware and a Daniel who has never quite realized what is going on between them?

Or a Daniel who is trying to hit Jack with a clue-by-four (to steal an expression from CJ) and a Jack who gets it a beat too late?

In the spirit of Adjustments, I'm tempted not to choose, but to write the same story both ways. But it seems dumb not to just make a decision and pick one.

Though this is not the only problem I am having with this story. For one thing, I am seriously debating character death, which I never do.

CLUE-BY-FOUR! *dances* Err...not that I'm into random and/or questionably meaningless violence or anything. And we're talking really dense...to the point Daniel starts ranting at him in a dozen languages. ^_^

And oddly, I was thinking of character death the other day, though I'm not really writing anything that would require it. o_O

I have a couple of ideas in my head, and one is much more dreadful than the other. And the dreadful one requires character death. But I'm not sure the story is really that interesting. I am pondering.
