Sam has everything against her from day one. No, Jack doesn't dislike her in the beginning because she's a woman, but because she's a scientist (throws her off balance since it's normally the gender thing that pops up and bites her in the ass).

A beautiful woman, a caring friend and a workoholic. Major Sam Carter is all of the above, but she is also a strong female character ~ contrair to beliefs, she wouldn't fit with Jack (jeez, give them half a day and they'd end up strangling each other). Meaning of course she's perfect for femmeslashers...

 

APPEALING TO SLASHERS:

	Career military.
	Strong in her oppinions.
	Not your average female character -- she literally kicks ass.
	Can easily be written to have a sibling like relationship to Daniel, though there are bound to be conflicts if one writes Jack/Daniel. Some of the best (and worst) fanfics deal with Sam and a possible relationship between Jack and Daniel. She's got a crush on Jack and he's flirted a lot with her in the past, at times leading her on.

 

PAIRINGS KNOWN TO WORK:

Sam/Janet - both strong female characters and they *do* have sparkage... It is tempting to write them together and somehow Sam's track record with men suggests that perhaps a f/f relationship wouldn't be such a dumb idea.

 

NICKNAMES:
(FF = fanfiction / TV = the series)

	Sammie (FF+TV)
	Black widdow (FF) (None of her loveintersts seem to survive for long...)
