I don't have a hard time seeing J/D, though I prefer to see the two men portrayed more as brothers or father/son.
You know that I am a huge Jack and Daniel fan. I tend to see them more as friends/brothers than anything else. I'll get as far as the two of them having some repressed feleings that some through as homoerotic subtext. But that's pretty much where it ends for me. I can do different things with it in fanfic, just like most people do. Fanfic is about exploring possibilities. I just find Jack's character in and of itself very difficult to ship or slash. On tv, we Jack's actions. they are so layered that they can be seen any number of ways. But in fic, we give these characters internal thoughts. Most of the time, I find those thoughts in fanfic (whether ship or slash) jarring. They end up seeming unJack like. I cannot stress just how good are the writers that make it believable :)
