no one should ever be judged on what they choose to write and how they choose to let their muse explore and play.
I think is exactly it. What we write is not necessarily a reflection of who we are. Are we part of our writing? Absolutely. But just because I want to explore Sam/Pete in fic doesn't mean I wanted Sam/Pete to actually happen on the show. In fact, while I liked Pete, I don't think he was right for Sam. At least not THAT Sam. I thought it was a bad idea to bring him on since we all knew it wouldn't last anyway. I found it as a way to toy with fans but that's a different story altogether...sort of like how they brought in Diana on the X-Files.
Anywho...I've never minded hints of affection between characters on SG-1. Sam/Jack included. Daniel/Vala included. and all i really want are scenes that show how much Sam and Daniel care for each other. It doesn't have to be "shippy." That's not the point. We all see what we want to see anyway. But like you, I don't ever want it actually realized on screen nor do I ever want it to over power the story. But that's me :)
