The Anything-You-Want-To-Know Meme

This is going around. I edited the warning at the end about thinking carefully about whether you REALLY WANT TO BE SPOILED. We're all old enough to know what spoilers mean...

Ask me a question about one of my fanfictions. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-God answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to. Whatever you ask, I have to answer truthfully. [Edit: *rolls eyes at the 14-year-old mentality of the person who wrote this meme.]

I will warn you in advance if my answer contains major Spoilers and give you a chance to back out. If you then decide that you still want to hear my answer,I'll white it out and you can highlight.

Think carefully before asking a question. You might not want to have it spoiled as badly as you think you do (for that matter, I might not want to SPOIL it as badly as you want it spoiled.)

I still haven't read Skeletal Remains because of the pairings: JO/SC and JO/SC/DJ. Does it have a J/D ending? Too much SC? Will this ultimate J/D OTPer (to quote [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl), be an unhappy camper -- because of the pairings -- if I read it?

Is Skeletal Remains safe for a serious J/D shipper?

That might be a better question to ask [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl.

Very spoilerful answer follows. (Also, testing another method of hiding the text, so if this comment disappears, that's because it didn't work! Will re-comment immediately!)

Highlight below:

I treat Jack as being equally interested in the two of them, with possibly a slight preference for Daniel. Daniel pushes Jack towards Sam and Jack goes that way, but Sam pushes him back towards Daniel, and Jack and Daniel work things out. There is a lot of pure Jack/Daniel in the piece for a J/D shipper like yourself, but I *tried* to fight my own J/D tendencies and be even-handed among the relationships. Because there's Sam/Daniel in there, too.

There is no happing ending to Skeletal Remains. It is the character-death fic of doom. Jack and the baby are the only survivors.


I think you, as J/D shipper would find a lot to love about Skeletal Remains, because the J/D is real J/D. But there's J/S, too, and if that is just unacceptable to you, then you will not want to read it.

Some, non-graphic, J/S is acceptable, if it ends up as just J/D. But I'm also unhappy about the 'hidden' pairing you mention above, too, which isn't listed with your pairings. :(

If I do eventually read it, though, you'll be the first to know. :)

You're not a wuss! You like what you like and you don't like what you don't like! It's not like eating your spinach before your cake! It's all cake! :) And the J/S is NOT non-graphic. Nor is the Sam/Daniel. Though the Sam/Daniel is really mostly part of the threesome context. In the story, they are all they have left. I tried to make it a developing, honest threesome, with three equal partners, lovers where they used to be just friends, where under other circumstances there might never have been any romantic involvement between any of them.
