Finally, I have time to reply. This week has been so long, and there was this group of comments lurking in the recesses at the bottom of my inbox. I finally have time. It's some sort of miracle.
I think that I agree with WG, quite frankly, with the fact that it would really effect the team. I can imagine that, more than personal reactions, it would create definite jealousy, and everyone would question Jack's ability to lead. If there was a conflict, and he decided in Daniel's favor, would he be deciding because he didn't want to be sleeping on the couch for the next two weeks or because Daniel was genuinely in the right? It would cause doubt, and that's one thing you can't have. You have to have trust in your commander because he or she (at times quite literally) holds your life in his or her hands.
Well, a lot of character analysis is just basic psychology! That's probably why everyone enjoys it so much.
Exactly. It's daunting, especially if you're trying something new. You're left wondering, "Is there no feedback because it was bad, or is there no feedback because no one is willing to read this pairing/fandom/characterization?" But I think you're doing a fantastic job.
