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

If it's not shippy, I'm not interested. Sad but true. *g*
Which is not to say that I haven't clicked on apparently shippy stories only to find more of a friendship story - and enjoyed it - because I have.
But yeah, the same answer sort of applies. I pretty much put the ship into it, even if it's not really meant to be there, because I'm a shipper. Although again...I have accidentally read enough fics so that I can recognize when it's not supposed to be shippy, and have (mostly) appreciated them for what they were.
