This comment is made of awesome and why you are one of my favorite fandom people ever. I'm just grinning and laughing while reading this (and saying lots of YES! That's completely true!)
Um, serious reply to your quasi-serious reply to my navel gazingness...
I can see how you're relating the characters to your own personality and extrapolating as writing them, but you still hold the core of them as true to the on screen.
So writing Sam POV is Marie going "I'm too lazy to work really hard on this."
You remember you're saying this to one of your betas from "The Grey" right? ;-) I would not say your characterizing/writing Sam is "lazy". But I do understand your point about filters. She's straight analytical in her approach to everything, so you get the clearest objective sense for a lot of plot focused things with Sam.
It's enormous fun to see things through Teal'c's POV.
Those help a lot more than they should, sometimes.
Yes, sometimes they do me too, and you inspired them. Although sometimes I get so focused ont hat fourth wall relationship, I break down in doing the story. Bad muse! No cookie!
Hee about classic team. I've just realized. I only entered fandom end of S8 and started writing fanfic during hiatus/early S9, so that may have influenced me to write NewTeam more.
