Thoughts on trying to write FTM Daniel

I wanted to make a few notes related to my ficathon piece. (I'm on a difficult deadline, so early readers of this may note the lack of links.)
( DO NOT READ BEFORE MY FICATHON PIECE, PLEASE )

Not a Public Service Announcement

For the 2009 J/D Ficathon this year I got prehistoric_sea, who prompted as follows:

Two (2) Requirements:
1. porn
2. emotional complexity
Optional Request: two options:
1) It’s a trope of early SG-1 slash that Daniel is locked in the closet (often by Jack), barefoot, and weeping. Write an intelligent, contemporary take on this trope. Something real, if not realistic, fresh if not new.
2) Daniel assumed Jack knew he was transgender (FtM)--wouldn't something like that be in his file? Now that they've had a disastrous, mutually humiliating hook-up, can they put it behind them and have the relationship they both want--because the attraction isn't going anywhere.
Restriction #1: character-bashing
Restriction #2: too-perfect sex

Well, I've sort of done optional request 1 before: Possession.

So.

The second optional request. Hmmmmm. Strangely FTM Daniel started speaking to me. So.




Title: Not a Public Service Announcement
Author: muck_a_luck, posting in brainofck
Pairing: Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Daniel is out. Jack is not. And yet Daniel still has a secret.
Content/warnings: Trangender issues, with attempted treatment by a straight woman who has never had a transgender thought in her life. Hopefully, I pulled off something remotely real and readable.
Words: 3,715
Written for: prehistoric_sea
Disclaimer: If anybody is planning a script like this for SG-1, I'm certainly not going to claim any rights to it. However, I'd be delighted to work in a co-writing/consulting/first-reader/advisory-type capacity, with my fee to be negotiated at that time. :D
Archive rights: Absolutely none. My journals only. muck_a_luck and brainofck

Beta: Many thanks to melayneseahawk for her quick beta and encouragement to revisit certain issues.
