annerbhp's latest icon challenge got me pondering this on my bus in the morning: Do you think that there can be non-shippy stories where Sam and Jack have sex? Or is that, by your definition, shippy?
As you know, Bob, there's not really a great deal of Sam and Jack friendship fic out there, and the definitions can be a little hazy anyway, with the difference in intent and perception (one person's UST is another person's friendly banter).
What I mean is... gen people, could you imagine reading/writing a Sam and Jack friendship fic where they are forced into that sort of relationship? Or, Sam/Jack people, could you imagine reading/writing that kind of fic, but without the UST angle - one where it's their friendship that they have to salvage? And without a happy ending where they're given permission by the Prez to break the frat regs. *g*
(And no, this is NOT what I'm planning to do for my

But yeah, if it can be done with Sam and Daniel friendship, it can be done with Sam and Jack friendship. The tricky part is convincing the die-hard Sam/Jack shippers that they really are just friends.
That's maybe one of the reasons there's so little Sam and Jack friendship fic – because so many of the story variables that might be applied to their characters in a Stargate universe are already perceived to be shippy.
