I'm really sorry I've never sent you feedback. I'm absolutely terrible about that- I've been in various online fandoms for ten years or so, and in zine-based ones before that, but I can still count the number of authors I've written to in the single digits (although I've gotten a little better about saying "I liked this!" type stuff in LJ anyway). I tend to chicken out before writing to anyone. I can imagine it's tough to get feedback in rare fandoms, though, which makes me feel even more guilty since so many of my fandoms are rare. I've been trying to convert people to the charms of WaT and CSI, but while the shows themselves are really popular, it's tough going, fandom-wise (I have a whole big post about why I think that is, somewhere around here). I think I've hooked in one or two friends, though, and with any luck next season will make things easier. Fingers crossed!
I love angst like you wouldn't believe...
Oh, so do I. I'm a big Aragorn/Boromir fan, which guarantees ninety-nine percent mega-angst, and a lot of my other pairings have more than their share of troubles. But with my rarer fandoms, and with WaT (and CSI) especially, I'm a sucker for happy endings. I mean, Martin and Danny have so much stress and unhappiness in their lives already. I know things wouldn't be all "tralala, it's easy because we're in love, we're happy, the end" for them, but all of that without the "it's easy" is my preference. They're just so sweet and well-suited, and I really want them to have that happy ending!
Also, people need to stop slashing Gil with people (like the whole Jack slashing thing). It needs to stop. Please. For my sake ;)
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Gil seems fairly asexual to me (although Lady Heather was interesting). But pairing him with Greg or Nick just seems like a recipe for misery, no matter how much hero-worship the boys have for him (or especially because of that). I just can't see it. And Jack is straight and busy juggling his womenfolk- lay off, people! ;)
Anyway, sorry this is so long. It's just nice to talk with someone who likes this pairing as much as I do, and like I said, your were the first author I read in this fandom and therefore the first to confirm that it wasn't just me, Danny and Martin really were that slashable. So thanks very much for that!
