Heh, yes, I was wondering that - because I think it could be interesting, if it's gen in that character-driven way.

The OT3 thing... I've not really been thinking about the slash angle. I guess I tend to prefer it shippy or gen, and if there's shippiness there I'd prefer it was Sam/Jack or nothing. *g* So, I can sympathise with slashers feeling the same in reverse. Either side can write very lopsided OT3, I guess - not really properly exploring the impact of a sexual relationship between the non-preferred pairing.

(Argh, confusing myself with that sentence.)
