Very interesting. I can definitely see where you are coming from. (And even as a hardcore shipper, I *really* don't like ship in the show. They can all just be buddies and love each other to death in the team way. My shippy eye will fill in whatever it wants to. Lol)
And yeah, I totally agree that Jack is emotionally cut off. But then again, sex isn't always about emotions (as we have seen with some various minor characters and OCs, which you find more believable than hooking up with the team probably for the specific reason that Jack doesn't necessarily have a deep emotional investment with them) Personally, I find Jack's mix of desire and emotional unavailability so interesting to write in relationships specifically because of these reasons. (angst, angst, angst)
You know what is awesome about you? You've written this really great meta, you have friends of all camps, you are loudly proud of your own preferences and yet, you have still seriously experimented with writing a variety of things, gen, ship, and slash included. You like what you like because it is your favorite, not because you have refused to even try it. That makes you made of win in my book.
Now, for the serious question: how to you feel about team OT3 and OT4? ;)
