I haven't run into many Jack and Sam fics, and I think it's sadly because of this whole UST issue. If people write them together as friends, people who are extremely anti-ship won't like to see even the friendship (which is ridiculous and a shame) and shippers may be upset it doesn't go far enough to show their "true" feelings. Sigh. Maybe I'll write one sometime anyway. :-(
I agree with this too. I haven't a clue where to start to find something gen that might have a Sam and Jack focus. Or, that maybe team focused with Sam-centric parts, etc.
And I think that is some of motivation for posting this thread to begin with.
Though, it's a person's perogative whether they don't want to read something with a Sam and Jack slant. True, they might be missing out on a good story, but if they didn't like those characters to begin with, then the point is probably moot.
Since I don't happen to be 100% in any faction or view, my range of fic is a little bit broader. That's just the way I choose to be. Doesn't mean I'm right or everyone else is wrong.
That being said, I am open to any team fics or Sam and Jack fics that are friendshippy if you know of any.
I'm going to see what I can find in terms of gen/team and gen/different friendships for you. Yet at the say time, maybe we can do an exchange and you can pass on some reccs yourself.

I'm going to post this on the list, too.
