(And for the record, I do prefer "Teal'c is awesome" to "Teal'c pwns the universe," but it just seems to work out that way in the comments, heh.)
I'm with you on Daniel! Love him to pieces, love to write his POV, and still find it a challenge. ::squishes Daniel::
Sam - I don't know. I guess I've avoided writing from her POV when there's "real" science going on, and the only time I, er, pretended to be writing in her language, I shamelessly swiped stuff from research online and kept it as vague as possible. :) OTOH, when I'm writing about other aspects of Sam, she flows quite well. Or maybe I just think she does.
Teal'c - oh, yes, word with Teal'c. He should be impossible and somehow he flows. I haven't yet managed to write real introspection with him, though. That may be why a certain ficlet-by-request is taking so long. ;)
And again, word with Jack, who I want to get right and am reluctant to imagine that I can. I've written very little outside fluffy pieces from his POV, although my Alphabet Soup for him was good. I think. And it was anything but fluffy.
Can't write Mitchell. Can't write Vala. Haven't tried Jonas. Have I mentioned how much I love your ability to spread your squee with such inclusiveness to such a fantastic degree?
One other thing you're very good at, Aurora, is writing original characters and their perceptions of the team. You get that distant voice right.
I agree that it's not wise to try and create a "complete" list of authors with good character voices, but I can't help but say that Tallulah Rasa and Random get both Daniel and Jack's voices so perfect that I am always in awe. So goooooood. :)
