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.

I usually perceive Jack as Mister Clueless and Daniel as a bit more in touch. Flip that for me!!!!!!

(And I stole Clue-by-four from..... er, someone on my flist. I'm sure of it. I didn't invent it!)

That's my temptation. But I've got a great converation in my head - well, more of a moment - between Jack and Sam that can only happen if Jack missed the clue bus by, like, 20 minutes.

Dood, write what the bunnies tell you to!

Ah, well then. The conversation must live, so off you go to write it the other way 'round!
