What I like about Jack is that he's a career military guy, hardened Special Ops soldier, etc. who quite frequently acts like he's about twelve.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Very nearly spewed Irish Breakfast all over my keyboard at that. Too frelling funny.

He does! He's very entertaining, but doesn't ping my radar. None of the SG-1 team does, actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't think wistfully of an SG1 puppy pile, a la Fab Five?
Okay, I didn't either, until just now.
I don't know what took me so long.

Gotta say no, frankly. They're nice people, I'd like to go for a beer with them. But that's about it.
... Well, no. Jack's attractive, but Daniel is bland. Dunno what the deal is with Carter. Teal'c is too... Teal'c. HonorableWarriorDude.

HonorableWarriorDude.
Is the Wiki you're looking for WarriorPoet?
To me, he's hysterical HonorableWarriorDude. Between his recurrent intonation of "Indeed" and my current favourite of "I have nothing to apologise for" as he walks smugly offscreen at the end of Upgrades -- he cracks me up.
Love life would be appalling though. As would mine with Daniel. Sam and I would be hampered with both being straight.
Jack, OTOH? I like distance and snark.

No, the other one. Overlaps with WarriorPoet, though.

I'd thought he was quite the WarriorPoet, having rejected the traditions of his people, living outcast, but trying to teach them the truth.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'd actually never realized how funny it was until I wrote it down like that, but yeah, seriously. I'm just imagining him telling the story like that now, and it's cracking me up. "My parents were crushed by a museum display." "Ha! You're funny... you're serious? Oh. Um."

I'm telling you, after the Stargate program goes public Teal'c will be compared to Harriet Tubman. Also at least one media outlet will refer to him as "African-American."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I have mad crush on Jack except when he is being an unfunny moron (the most egregious example being during the season 7 opening two-parter. Very cringe-worthy.) I find Daniel interesting and hella pretty, and also a "whiny bitch" as MS puts it. I love that Sam loves both building & solving things and blowing shit up. Teal'c is just Teal'c, which is a class on its own.
My Jack-love is surprisingly unselfish. I don't want him for myself; I want him to be with his team, his "kids". The team part is important--I don't want him to be an item with Carter to the detriment of his relationships with Daniel and Teal'c. Ditto Jack/Daniel with Carter and Teal'c being excluded. I just like them all together, and not particularly in a polyamorous way. The four of them kicking it back with a beer like we saw in "Lost City part 1" or gathered around a fire in one of their missions or goofing around in Daniel's lab makes me happy enough. I'm a total sap when it comes to the team.
