Daniel totally does. (Actually, as anyone who's IMd with me might notice, so do I). Yes, you are totally a sweet Daniel girl.
Writing action v dialogue is a whole different meta because I tend to do exposition/description dump and then get to dialogue. It's a weakness in my fics I try and break out of, but it's one of the most difficult.
I like to write Jack, too, because he covers so many different ranges of motion and you can always count on him as the character on whom to 'bounce' other people's anger or angst or horror.
You know, that's an excellent point. Action character v. reaction character to a particular scenario and how POV can influence what you're wanting to do, or what you want to influence. That can make the voices sound "right" or "wrong" as much as the general characterization. Yes, Jack is easy to caricature (it happens to them all somewhat), but he's also the spoke by which you can gauge the others.
Sam's role (and Daniel's sometimes too) as exposition technobabble person on the team can be a hindrance as much as a help to write her as a character because the tech-geek stuff makes up a lot of what she is, but not all of it.
Daniel and Teal'c is one of the bestest and most complex relationships for Stargate.
Vala's relationship with Daniel is very different than anyone else's, imho. It was writing her bantering with him that really made her "click" for me.
